Don't feel bad, Ray. You're ahead of me. I first -- am I pure as the
driven snow, or what? -- thought of St. Augustine's mother, and then I
finally realized that it was a reference to Ms. Lewinsky getting down
on her knees to..... well, you know... so she's the saint of knee
problems.

The original St. Monica had enough problems without this. Imagine
being the mother of someone who was a wastrel and then became a Father
of the Church. He must have been insufferable all the way till the
end.
