Clinton. He used the media and every way possible to gain the presidency. Yep, he fooled a lot of people into thinking he would be a good President. All that was behind him was selfish ambition. He got a little burned with the whole impeachment thing and so changes the focus to Hilary. Must keep a finger in the pie. My references are history. Being well versed in the law, he knew how to leave no proof. Smart man, but a very well thought out hoax. And we fell for it. Oh, well, we'll see what happens to this country if Hilary becomes President. (gag)

A wonderful movie short that came out in the 1950s describing how spaghetti grew and was harvested in Switzerland. They depicted the spaghetti being harvested from the trees, and talked about the reasons for the bumper crop (the mild weather in Switzerland) and showed merry peasants doing the harvest. It was hilarious.
If you put Swiss Spaghetti Harvest in your search engine, you'll find it. It was a classic.
