From this week's San Francisco Bay Guardian":

An article on the new movie "The Hunting of the President" about the vast right wing conspiracy that actually did exist starts off thusly-

"I'm not sure I completely understood what that loony Chilean filmmaker Raul Ruiz said to me way back in the spring of 1997:

"The paradigm of many stories exist[s] by conceit. Sometimes concrete stories hide abstract events, abstract situations – like the construction of roots by Charlemagne. It is called – in a literal translation – a 'galley net.' A system of roots, built by Charlemagne and his men, become a woman.... Let's say Clinton tried to build a system to go to a different planet. This system will become the Clinton mistress, in the future. So this is a variation on what could be called the immortal story paradigm."

Jovial, semiopaque, the description can't help but apply to every appearance of Clinton I've seen since then"

Say what?
