the most amazing thing about the so- called ``vast right-wing conspiracy'' is that it is led by Democrats. In fact, what is even more surprising is that it is led by Democrats who volunteer their time to help the Clinton-Gore White House. Kathleen Willey and Monica Lewinsky were White House volunteers and loyal Democrats, about the last people we would expect to organize a vast right-wing conspiracy. But just think about the other Democrats in this vast network of people who are out to get the President: Attorney General Reno; former Carter speech writer and aide to Tip O'Neil Chris Matthews; and former aide to Senator Moynihan Tim Russert. Am I forgetting anyone? Oh, yes, let us recall that Louis Freeh, appointed by President Clinton, has called for the appointment of an independent counsel to look into illegal campaign contributions to the Democratic party, as has Charles LaBella, handpicked by Janet Reno to investigate those allegations. This is one interesting conspiracy. ____________________
