WASHINGTON -- They don't have to worry about creating a "gloat-free zone" around the White House anymore. Neither President Clinton nor his staff apologists have anything to gloat about anymore.Monday's decision by a federal judge to hold Mr. Clinton in contempt of court for lying in a deposition about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky doesn't break any new ground in factual terms. It has been clear all along the president was lying, though he was unwilling to call it that.What the Little Rock decision does accomplish, however, is cutting the ground from under the claims of Clinton supporters that the not guilty verdict in the impeachment trial meant he was innocent.

RECENTLY I WAS lying on the sofa and watching my favorite TV show, which is called, "Whatever Is on TV When I'm Lying on the Sofa." I was in a good mood until the commercial came on. It showed an old man (and when I say "old man," I mean a man who is maybe eight years older than I am) helping his grandson learn to ride a bicycle.I was watching this, wondering what product was being advertised (bicycles? dietary fiber? Lucent?), and the announcer said: "Aren't there enough reasons in your life to talk to your doctor about Zocor?"

I said, "Hillary, he had insomnia. He couldn't sleep so he went for a drive." She started screaming and cussing and slammed down the phone.I got on the phone and called him, and I said, "Governor, Hillary's up." And he said, "Oh, my God. Oh, God. Oh, God." And he came back in the back gate probably five to 10 minutes later.-- Arkansas trooper Roger Perry, recalling under oath a late-night call from Hillary Rodham Clinton.WASHINGTON -- With Kathleen Willey's "60 Minutes" appearance, the crisis of the Clinton presidency reached an adult moment, and the mental mechanics of agnosticism became yet more difficult.

9 *** ( 3 STARS) The rare computer-animated film that feels handmade from cuffs to collar, Shane Acker's post-apocalyptic fantasy centers on a group of walking, talking raggedy dolls who contain the final remnants of the human spirit.The story may be slight, but Acker renders the evil super-machines scary and the "Steampunk" landscapes eloquently mournful. And his diminutive heroes boast personality and soul, thanks partly to a great voice cast including Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Christopher Plummer, Martin Landau, and Jennifer Connelly.

In the spirit of the holiday season, and his last one in the White House, President George W. Bush has pardoned two turkeys and 14 felons. And yet, Martha Stewart remains unforgiven. Now, those who have tried to do a Martha-style holiday - I confess, I created a "mosaic" of herbs under the turkey's skin one year - probably think she should never be forgiven. But I'm talking about her crimes against the stock market, not the sanity of the average homemaker. Stewart, as you might recall, was convicted in 2004 of lying to prosecutors investigating the suspicious timing of a stock sale.
