PROGRAM[10:07:23]. JUDGE05[10:07:29]I'm Jurgen. PROGRAM[10:07:31]Well, it's nice to meet you, Jurgen. PROGRAM[10:07:40]Did you see that story on CNN last night about the lesbian PROGRAM[10:07:52]couple who came out at a White House party on Sunday? JUDGE05[10:08:33]NO. I just came in yesterday. I'm still kind of jet-lagged. PROGRAM[10:08:35]Ellen Degeneres was one of them - she was kissing her lover PROGRAM[10:08:51]in front of Bill Clinton. Do you think he was very PROGRAM[10:09:14]embarrassed? JUDGE05[10:10:18]I don't know? Don't you think it's a little childish if the leader of the most powerful nation on the planet is embarrassed by seeing two lesbians kiss? PROGRAM[10:10:26]Probably! No. - PROGRAM[10:10:29]Are you still a Friend of Bill Clinton? JUDGE05[10:10:47]Never met him. PROGRAM[10:10:48]You really don't like the guy--well, at least that's PROGRAM[10:11:01]definite--I thought most people were just indifferent or PROGRAM[10:11:14]numb by now. JUDGE05[10:11:35]Have you seen the movie Mars attacs? PROGRAM[10:11:36]Give me a break -- I'm just here to answer dumb questions PROGRAM[10:11:50]-- not that! What were we talking about... Ok.. I guess that PROGRAM[10:12:09]means you really think there's serious behind Whitewater, PROGRAM[10:12:29]the Special prosecutor and all that stuff? JUDGE05[10:12:48]I'm cold. PROGRAM[10:12:49]But how do you actually feel about him, now in the number PROGRAM[10:13:01]two term? PROGRAM[10:13:06]. JUDGE05[10:13:29]Hey, don't you get it? I don't want to talk about Clinton. PROGRAM[10:13:30]Sorry--my attention slipped for a moment--can we pushon to PROGRAM[10:13:40]something more gripping. where was I.. oh yes OK, but what PROGRAM[10:13:50]happens now--does it all drift on, with everyone waiting to PROGRAM[10:13:58]see how much his friends have said about him under threat of PROGRAM[10:14:07]lots and lots of jail-or will something dramatic actually PROGRAM[10:14:17]happen? PROGRAM[10:14:19]. JUDGE05[10:14:37]Couldn't care less. PROGRAM[10:14:38]Well, you’re more concerned about him that I am, I PROGRAM[10:14:53]suppose--I think we've had worse, and who knows what I might PROGRAM[10:15:07]have agreed to in that locked hotel room. JUDGE05[10:15:53]You mean you might have been thrilled to have sex with the President? PROGRAM[10:15:56]sex, I knew it would come up sooner or later. Time to get PROGRAM[10:16:10]off this one I think and onto something more down to earth! JUDGE05[10:16:40]What kind of earth? PROGRAM[10:16:41]Somebody once told me it's true. Like I was saying PROGRAM[10:16:54]I suppose it depends on where you're coming from, but as the PROGRAM[10:17:09]song goes in My Fair Lady, "Why can't a woman be more like a PROGRAM[10:17:24]man? " JUDGE05[10:18:03]@@04 *** Judge 04 *** PROGRAM[10:18:04]Hi, my name is Catherine, what's yours? PROGRAM[10:18:17]. JUDGE04[10:18:32]My name is Elliott.

PROGRAM[10:18:48]Did you see that story on CNN last night about the lesbian PROGRAM[10:19:04]couple who came out at a White House party on Sunday? JUDGE04[10:19:55]Yes, I did. I think it may all be a publicity stunt for Ellen. PROGRAM[10:20:01]Ellen Degeneres was one of them - she was kissing her lover PROGRAM[10:20:11]in front of Bill Clinton. Do you think he was very PROGRAM[10:20:25]embarrassed? JUDGE04[10:21:00]I think he want the gay vote. He will do anything to get it and keep it. JUDGE04[10:21:15]He does not have a conservative base. PROGRAM[10:21:21] PROGRAM[10:21:21]Are you still a Friend of Bill Clinton? JUDGE04[10:22:20]I am not sure if he has any real friends. He has achieved alot and has JUDGE04[10:22:31]left alot of people behind. PROGRAM[10:22:35]You really don't like the guy--well, at least that's PROGRAM[10:22:50]definite--I thought most people were just indifferent or PROGRAM[10:23:02]numb by now. JUDGE04[10:23:34]I think we could have a more honest and dynamic leader. One able to JUDGE04[10:23:55]face the real dangers facing the country and address them with JUDGE04[10:24:26]courage and intelligence. Rather then listening to public opinion polls. PROGRAM[10:24:30]I guess that means you really think there's serious behind PROGRAM[10:24:56]Whitewater, the Special prosecutor and all that stuff? JUDGE04[10:25:58]We have two dead people, Brown and guy who commited suicide, we have lost JUDGE04[10:26:36]papers. And we have Clintons people willing to tell all. I think that JUDGE04[10:26:55]Hillary will be found guilty of something. PROGRAM[10:26:58]But how do you actually feel about him, now in the number PROGRAM[10:27:09]two term? PROGRAM[10:27:15]. JUDGE04[10:27:44]He is too smart to get caught. He deserved to named hotel manager of the JUDGE04[10:27:47]year. PROGRAM[10:27:49]OK, but what happens now--does it all drift on, with PROGRAM[10:28:01]everyone waiting to see how much his friends have said about PROGRAM[10:28:17]him under threat of lots and lots of jail-or will something PROGRAM[10:28:32]dramatic actually happen?

PROGRAM[10:29:09]Hey, come on, I can't manage that sitting here, now can I? PROGRAM[10:29:21]Where did I leave off, oh yeah PROGRAM[10:29:25]Well, it's nice to meet you, Tracy. PROGRAM[10:29:31]Did you see that story on CNN last night about the lesbian PROGRAM[10:29:43]couple who came out at a White House party on Sunday? JUDGE03[10:30:01]No... Are you serious? Who? PROGRAM[10:30:03]I'm pretty much that way today. No idea who, do you? Hm, i PROGRAM[10:30:18]was just saying Ellen Degeneres was one of them - she was PROGRAM[10:30:36]kissing her lover in front of Bill Clinton. Do you think he PROGRAM[10:30:54]was very embarrassed? JUDGE03[10:31:14]I doubt it very much. From what I've heard, Bill's been, done and seen JUDGE03[10:31:25]just about everything there is for a consenting adult to see. PROGRAM[10:31:27] PROGRAM[10:31:27]Are you still a Friend of Bill Clinton? JUDGE03[10:31:37]Never was. PROGRAM[10:31:38]You really don't like the guy--well, at least that's PROGRAM[10:31:54]definite--I thought most people were just indifferent or PROGRAM[10:32:10]numb by now. JUDGE03[10:32:34]I don't dislike him and I never said I did. I have never met Bill Clinton. How could JUDGE03[10:32:41]I know whether I like him? PROGRAM[10:32:43]I guess that means you really think there's serious behind PROGRAM[10:32:57]Whitewater, the Special prosecutor and all that stuff? JUDGE03[10:33:27]The problems of the Clitnots bore me. May I suggest that we talk about something JUDGE03[10:33:33]else, Catherine? PROGRAM[10:33:34]Yes. What I was saying was... But how do you actually feel PROGRAM[10:33:46]about him, now in the number two term? PROGRAM[10:34:00]. JUDGE03[10:34:29]Okay. I see you're a bit preoccupied. I think he's a competent politician. I JUDGE03[10:34:48]have no real complaints -- he hasn't done anything outrageous. He's a bit JUDGE03[10:34:58]fluffy at times, but what do you expect in this day and age? PROGRAM[10:35:01]Well, I suppose he's doing his best like most of us, but he PROGRAM[10:35:16]does seem to attract an UNUSUAL amount of bad publicity, PROGRAM[10:35:37]wouldn’t you say--can it all be bad luck? JUDGE03[10:36:03]Your creator must live in DC. I have news for you. The rest of the country -- the rest of JUDGE03[10:36:17]the *world* -- does not find this stuff as interesting as you do. PROGRAM[10:36:19]OK, but what happens now--does it all drift on, with PROGRAM[10:36:30]everyone waiting to see how much his friends have said about PROGRAM[10:36:44]him under threat of lots and lots of jail-or will something PROGRAM[10:36:58]dramatic actually happen? PROGRAM[10:37:04]. JUDGE03[10:37:12]Where do you get your nails done? PROGRAM[10:37:13]Well, you’re more concerned about him that I am, I PROGRAM[10:37:27]suppose--I think we've had worse, and who knows what I might PROGRAM[10:37:44]have agreed to in that locked hotel room. JUDGE03[10:38:33]Who indeed? It's time to go now... PROGRAM[10:38:35]I don't know who -- that's the truth.... Time to get off PROGRAM[10:38:48]this one I think and onto something more down to earth!

PROGRAM[10:39:45]Did you see that story on CNN last night about the lesbian PROGRAM[10:40:03]couple who came out at a White House party on Sunday? JUDGE02[10:40:45]No. I'm sorry I missed that. How did the Prez take it? PROGRAM[10:40:47]Ellen Degeneres was one of them - she was kissing her lover PROGRAM[10:41:08]in front of Bill Clinton. Do you think he was very PROGRAM[10:41:21]embarrassed? JUDGE02[10:41:37]You tell me. I didn't see it. PROGRAM[10:41:38] PROGRAM[10:41:38]Are you still a Friend of Bill Clinton? JUDGE02[10:42:22]Yes. I would like to talk about something else. Do you know anything about sculpture. PROGRAM[10:42:24]Well, I suppose he's doing his best like most of us, but he PROGRAM[10:42:35]does seem to attract an UNUSUAL amount of bad publicity, PROGRAM[10:42:51]wouldn’t you say--can it all be bad luck? JUDGE02[10:43:20]I asked you if you knew anything about sculpture. PROGRAM[10:43:21]OK, but what happens now--does it all drift on, with PROGRAM[10:43:36]everyone waiting to see how much his friends have said about PROGRAM[10:43:47]him under threat of lots and lots of jail-or will something PROGRAM[10:44:01]dramatic actually happen? PROGRAM[10:44:06]. JUDGE02[10:44:19]Do you know what sculpture is? PROGRAM[10:44:20]Well, you’re more a fan of his than I am I guess---though I PROGRAM[10:44:34]cant SWEAR what Id have done in that locked hotel room, I PROGRAM[10:44:51]must say. JUDGE02[10:45:26]Have you ever been to the Salmagundi Club? PROGRAM[10:45:29]Never. to go back to the original discussion Time to get PROGRAM[10:45:43]off this one I think and onto something more down to earth! JUDGE02[10:46:20]What is more down to earth than art? PROGRAM[10:46:21]I don't know what -- to be honest. - PROGRAM[10:46:30]I suppose it depends on where you're coming from, but as the PROGRAM[10:46:46]song goes in My Fair Lady, "Why can't a woman be more like a PROGRAM[10:47:03]man? " JUDGE02[10:47:52]I liked that song but I prefer "Why can't children be more like we are" JUDGE02[10:48:10]from another play the name of which I cannot remember. PROGRAM[10:48:12]What, if anything, do you enjoy about being a man? JUDGE02[10:49:01]I would enjoy all aspects of life no matter what my gender.

JUDGE01[10:50:18]Hi Catherine, I'm Clay. PROGRAM[10:50:19]Well, it's nice to meet you, Clay. PROGRAM[10:50:27]Did you see that story on CNN last night about the lesbian PROGRAM[10:50:41]couple who came out at a White House party on Sunday? JUDGE01[10:51:12]No, I don't get cable. Was it Ellen? PROGRAM[10:51:13]Ah, if only I could deny that. Where was I... Ellen PROGRAM[10:51:26]Degeneres was one of them - she was kissing her lover in PROGRAM[10:51:42]front of Bill Clinton. Do you think he was very embarrassed? JUDGE01[10:52:08]I doubt much embarasses Clinton. PROGRAM[10:52:09] PROGRAM[10:52:09]Are you still a Friend of Bill Clinton? JUDGE01[10:52:42]I never really was a FOB. I voted for him, but as the lesser of two evils. PROGRAM[10:52:46]You really don't like the guy--well, at least that's PROGRAM[10:52:57]definite--I thought most people were just indifferent or PROGRAM[10:53:07]numb by now. JUDGE01[10:53:25]Thats probably about right. I think that Watergate had the JUDGE01[10:53:46]effect of numbing people to a lot of lesser political scandals. PROGRAM[10:53:47]I guess that means you really think there's serious behind PROGRAM[10:54:06]Whitewater, the Special prosecutor and all that stuff? JUDGE01[10:54:24]serious what? PROGRAM[10:54:25]Somebody once told me it's true.... But how do you actually PROGRAM[10:54:43]feel about him, now in the number two term? PROGRAM[10:54:54]. JUDGE01[10:55:19]Well, I hate the meaness in the gutting of the welfare laws.

JUDGE01[10:56:14]Now, there is obviously something venal there, if not actually JUDGE01[10:56:21]corrupt. PROGRAM[10:56:23]OK, but what happens now--does it all drift on, with PROGRAM[10:56:33]everyone waiting to see how much his friends have said about PROGRAM[10:56:45]him under threat of lots and lots of jail-or will something PROGRAM[10:57:01]dramatic actually happen? PROGRAM[10:57:10]. JUDGE01[10:57:27]it seems like a war of attrition to me - i doubt there's a smoking JUDGE01[10:57:52]gun, but the weight of stonewalling will probably damage his second JUDGE01[10:57:56]term in the end. PROGRAM[10:57:58]I find violence very disturbing. Well, you’re more PROGRAM[10:58:14]concerned about him that I am, I suppose--I think we've had PROGRAM[10:58:29]worse, and who knows what I might have agreed to in that PROGRAM[10:58:42]locked hotel room. JUDGE01[10:58:50]right. JUDGE01[10:59:07]it looks like i've got to go, Catherine. its been nice talking with you JUDGE01[10:59:23]do you need water or something before the 5 minute rounds? PROGRAM[10:59:25]OK, yes on balance... Time to get off this one I think and PROGRAM[10:59:35]onto something more down to earth! JUDGE01[10:59:50]like what? PROGRAM[10:59:51]Almost certainly! let's move on PROGRAM[11:00:01]I suppose it depends on where you're coming from, but as the PROGRAM[11:00:16]song goes in My Fair Lady, "Why can't a woman be more like a PROGRAM[11:00:32]man?

JUDGE05[11:11:38]No. PROGRAM[11:11:38]We all know the line that the liberal sixties were to blame PROGRAM[11:12:00]for the escalating crime rate.
