The Dorothy Parker Rule is that “One should only say good of the dead.”
Thus: “Ken Starr is dead. Good.”
Or, turning to the estimable Oscar Wilde, who always had a good response for events:
“Some spread joy wherever they go; some whenever they go.”

Comments are for the paid subscribers. I expect to see some good oness.
as soon as I heard about it yesterday, my quick response was "good." and while there are indeed many things to say about him, there's a shorthand that covers a LOT of it. namely, "prick."
a friend of his was quoted in today's NYT as saying that he was an amazingly sweet guy and a remarkably ethical lawyer. fuck them both.
