Vast dimwit conspiracy

Ken Starr's replacement as the independent prosecutor of former President Bill Clinton, comically partisan lawyer-for-hire Robert Ray, has finally lost interest in attaching scarlet letters to non-Puritans.

Approached by New Jersey Republicans with the offer of party support for a U.S. Senate run this fall, Ray reviewed the years of taxpayer-funded witch-hunting and essentially declared, "Never mind." The rest of America lost interest in the Clinton investigation years ago - after Starr released a report that read more like a National Enquirer feature story than a meaningful examination of presidential wrongdoing. Now, perhaps to remind us all of why we did not care, Ray has released a final "final report" on the investigation.

Aside from giving the folks over at the government printworks more work, what could be the possible point of releasing another review of salacious but inconsequential White House high jinks?
