Playboy's Hugh Hefner recently ran an intriguing editorial in his bunny mag (a periodical, Dawn might add, that is, in its understanding of sexual liberation and freedom of expression, infinitely gayer than those putrid "gay" life-styles slicks). Hef noted that we now have the first playboy president, and that Clinton's high approval ratings signal hope for the country.

The piece noted that prez-pal Vernon Jordan when queried at a party about what he and Clinton talk about when playing golf replied "pussy." Hefner argues that "the truth... is that awe, curiosity, and just plain horny obsession are forms of respect." Indeed, Clinton clearly likes women, values their company, and recognizes their professional accomplishments. No wonder so few can be stampeded into righteous indignation that he also seems to like snatch and female-administered humjobs.

Hillary's assertion that her pussy-lovin' husband is the victim of a right-wing conspiracy is correct, Hefner says, running through a litany of "moral charlatans" from Lenny Bruce's prosecutors to today's dead-dick loonies who assault Barnes and Noble for selling "kiddie porn." (He also traces how the same far-right money that has sought to buy "scientific" data linking porn with violence trickles all the way down the Special Inquisitor Ken Starr.) Public support for Clinton, warts and all, augers well for the country's new sexual maturity, says Hefner: "Whatever the truth of the allegations against Clinton, our sexual Rorschach test has been enlightening. We have had a national teach-in on the sex lives of former presidents, on oral sex and seduction, on the value of tiny gifts and late-night phone calls, on discretion and reckless abandon. The sexually-charged atmosphere of the White House has lit a thousand points of lust-- around watercoolers, on the Internet, in bedrooms, on telephones-- and a thousand points of tolerance. We are human. We are sexual. Now let's get on with life."

Dawn prays Hugh is right.
