Maybe Julian was thinking about Monica's gaping maw and mixed his metaphors.

Wasn't the gap in the Nixon tapes seventeen minutes?
Is there a significance to the Fifty percent?

Bush does seem like a genuine guy. I disagree with a lot that he has doen, but he does seem like a genuine dude. Much like McCain, I have to say I am totally opposed to the McCain-Feingold, and some of his other shenanigans, but he is an admirable guy.

No doubt, it's been very hard to keep distracted from that riveting scandal.
A-choo
So what were we talking about again?

Er, it was my understanding that only a little bit had been released, and some of that might only have been transcripts?

As noted elsewhere, Rove must stop these recording from getting out, lest Bush's approval ratings get above 60-70%.
