PLAYERS CONVENTIONAL WISDOM B. Clinton - You’re a sideshow – and not just because of Paula. Take a 100-day vacation. N. Gingrich +/- $4.5 mil – that was a buck for every kid you chuck off welfare. You’re right: looks lousy. B. Dole + Spears Newt on book deal. Could void his Contract, too. The grown-ups are back. J. Woolsey - Ready. Ames. Fired. (OK, CIA chief jumped, but Washington establishment helped push). J. Carville - He and other consultants (Paul, Mandy, Stan) should “consult” Bill’s schedule. They’re off it. C-SPAN + Hill floor action could make hot TV this year. More punches than hockey?
