More on Monica II: She also told Walters that hoping to catch the president’s eye at his birthday party, she changed into her lucky green suit that she’d worn the day before. “Geez, doesn’t she clean anything?” (Daily Scoop)

A Government With a Sense of Humor: Linda Tripp is back at work at the Pentagon in the public affairs office. “This is not to be confused with what she does in her off time: making affairs public.” (Paul Steinberg)

Military Intelligence: The Navy has banned Furbies at its shipyards because they can record conversations. “They can ban a kid’s toy from government property because it could accidentally record something, yet the Pentagon hires Linda Tripp for $94,000 a year.” (Jay Leno)
