Whatās the Big, Like, Deal?

I am not at liberty to reveal how I obtained this document, excerpts of which are reprinted below. It may be of interest to independent counsel Kenneth Starr, and if he cares to subpoena me I would be happy to turn it over to him, provided of course that Iām granted full and complete immunity and that the FBI agents he sends to pick up the evidence are as handsome as the ones he sent to get the Linda Tripp tapes from literary agent Lucianne Goldberg.
Dear Diary: Off to Washington tomorrow to live the glamorous life getting coffee and stuff for our nationās leaders. Thatāll show those dumb Beverly Hills brats who called me Fatty in high school. Ha ha on them. Finally getting out from under Mommy and Daddyās thumb--or should that be thumbs? Maybe Iāll get to meet Al Gore--whatta babe! Must remember to pack navy blue dress--very slimming.
Dear Diary: This intern gig really bites. They expect you to stay cooped up in a moldy old office building sorting mail and making copies for like hours on end. And they donāt even pay you. I couldāve gotten a better summer job at Kinkoās. At least their air conditioning works. So depressed I ate two whole bags of Chee-tos. I just know Daddy did this to me on purpose.
Dear Diary: The kids here arenāt any different than back home. They started calling me Elvira ācause my hair is so bushed out. I canāt help it, itās the humidity. Everybody here is all like Jackie-Oād with the sheath dresses and pearls. Totally Ann Taylor. Theyāve never even heard of Victoriaās Secret. This old witch Evelyn Lieberman actually sent me home for showing a little cleavage. Whatās her problem? One good thing--finally got my hands on a blue pass. Now I can go anywhere I want. I just have to remember to carry a Manila envelope like Iām delivering something. Wonder where Al Goreās office is?
Dear Diary: I did it! I met the Big One. No, not Al Gore (still working on that one). I mean the prez himself. Who knew he was such a hottie? He looks way better than he does on TV. Though he does have kind of a tummy. We talked about how hard it is to keep from going back for seconds at the buffet, and I think we really bonded. He told me he likes āa woman with a little meat on her.ā I guess so! I mean have you seen Hillaryās thighs? Itās lipo-time!
Dear Diary: Three little words: Bill, Bill, Bill!
Dear Diary: Bill gave me the sweetest gift today, this poetry book by some old hippie with long hair and a beard. I think maybe this Walt Whitman guy might be somebody he met at Oxford, back when he didnāt inhale, ācause the book is called āLeaves of Grass.ā Get it? I donāt totally understand all of the poems but there are one or two that are definitely X-rated. Evidently this Walt dude was a real horndog.
Dear Diary: Today I wore the navy blue dress. Iāll never wash it again!
Dear Diary: Iāve been neglecting you but who has the time? Bill has me totally tied up--literally! (Thatās a joke.) This whole Mideast crisis is making him real edgy and he needs me to help him relax more than ever. They expect him to solve it! Like, heās just the president, OK? Heās not God or anything.
Dear Diary: Iām going out of my skull with boredom. Gained two pounds. Bill is on vacation in the Vineyard with old Thunderthighs. Hope he brings me some cool gifts.
Dear Diary: He gave me this peasant dress, kind of hippie-style. If you ask me heās stuck in the ā60s. I gave him a frog figurine and a tie. Hope he wears it on TV, the tie I mean. Maybe he likes frogs ācause of the way his voice gets all hoarse and his eyes bulge out when he gets excited. I call him Froggie sometimes just in fun. He calls me Deep Throat--itās not what you think. Itās some kind of joke off of like some old ancient history type thing that happened in the White House way back when. Froggieās pretty good looking for an old guy. Not as cute as Al Gore, though.
Dear Diary: This witch Evelyn Lieberman has been sniffing around again. Good thing she doesnāt have X-ray vision to see whatās going on in the Oval Office. Like presidents just want to have fun, OK?
Dear Diary: Bummer! Iām being transferred to the boring old Pentagon. B.C. (Big Creep or Bill Clinton, get it?) says itās safer and heāll get me back to the White House later. Meanwhile we can talk on the phone. Ate a bag of Mint Milanos.
Dear Diary: Gained a pound. The Pentagon job bites. Just a bunch of typing boring old memos about national security and other dumb stuff. And theyāre always on my case about making too many personal phone calls, like they need the phone in case thereās a war or something. I sneak out to Starbucks for a double latte whenever I get the chance and hang out with this other aide, Linda Tripp, who thinks the job sucks too. Sheās kind of old and has a bad bleach job but who else am I gonna talk to? And sheās a shopaholic just like me. She always says, āWhen the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.ā Cute, huh?
Dear Diary: Schmucko called. I told him he had to get me outta the dumb old Pentagon, Iām freaking out here, so what if they throw in a few trips to Europe, Iād rather go to the mall. He said I should talk to Vernon Jordan.
Dear Diary: Vernon Jordan rocks! He says he can get me a cool job in NYC! Momās there but she promises not to bug me. After all, Iām 24 now. Vern says he just has to say the word and Iāll be working for Revlon and not behind the counter in some department store either. Wow, free eyeliner for life!
Dear Diary: Major bummer! This Kenneth Starr geek is gonna ask me to testify in front of the grand jury. I hope this doesnāt screw up the Revlon job! Must ask Linda what to do.
Dear Diary: I still donāt know what Iām gonna do but it helps to talk it out with Linda. What a true friend. Sheās willing to listen for hours. Must get her something, maybe one of those cute little guardian angel pins. And a make-over.
Dear Diary: Wonder what wouldāve happened if Iād gotten to meet Al Gore first.
