Caught with his pants down? By who? A rightwing witchhunt posing as a legit investigation? Plus a huge smear campaign full of frivolous lawsuits and baseless allegations, some 30 years old?
Let me tell you something, any politician in Washington, if investigated deeply enough, and that includes Bush, would be found to have some kind of ethical lapses, at least personal ones, sometime in his life. Like the rest of us, these are not saints, they're human beings.
But one thing Clinton never did. He never did anything unethical which hurt the American people one iota. In fact what he did was a private matter which his wife apparently condoned, and which was no surprise to anyone because we knew about Gennifer FLowers before Clinton even won his first priority. But the people didn't care.
Clinton left office with higher approval ratings that Reagan did, even after this embarrassing revelation. But the bottomline is the people blamed the rightwing smear jockeys more than they did Clinton. Because the rightwing had no business investigating this nonsense to begin with and wasted our time and money doing so. They also helped Al Qaida doing so, as we now know.
Every single GOP congressional attack dog against Clinton's sex life got voted out of office. But Clinton remained the most popular and successful president of our time. And boy would most people like to have him in charge now. Clinton did a great job. And 90% of the people could care less what nookie he might have gotten on the side. |
