"Impeachment" falters a bit with this segment and its emphasis on side characters like Matt Drudge and Anne Coulter.
The fascinatingly icky Clinton-Monica Lewinsky pas de deux takes a backseat as we tag along with journalist Michael Isikoff and watch Paula Jones et al tussle over whether to settle or not. Not exactly gripping stuff.
Jane Paulson's portrayal of Linda Tripp continues to dominate the series. She's itching to spill about the real story in the White House. So why's she messing around with Isikoff? I thought she wanted a book! Linda's straight talk to a crestfallen Monica is some of the best dialogue in E3 (i.e., "He chose to start a relationship with an intern, which got you kicked out of the White House. Then he strung you along for an eternity, then he dumps you, and you're supposed to be fine?")
At one point Clinton incredulously asks Monica if she trusted Linda Tripp. He shouldn't gloat -- he risked everything with a 23-year-old star-struck intern "bearing gifts."
Some momentum is lost with this episode. Hopefully, the series will recover.
