Zoltan!, thanks for the link. When the writer terms the alleged Willey incident "unmanly and inhuman", there's a bit of irony there (i.e. some extremists might argue that trying to take advantage of a woman in such a time of vulnerability is, to the contrary, "manly and human", which is more than a little unfair to us guys), but IMHO it's a good piece.
I guess some people in this world just don't care much about, for lack of a better word, "honor", or maybe "doing the right thing". IMHO, Bill Clinton places doing what is political expedient above doing what is honorable. The sad part is that that trade-off is exactly what makes him arguably one of the best pure politicians of the post-war era.
He's not the only one. In politics nowadays, it isn't "doing the right thing", it's "do the thing that gets my poll numbers doing the right thing."
Good trading,
