The self-rigthious logic of the entire "morale majority" scares me. Its clear we need a morale imperitive in conducting matters of state, but it is not at all to my liking that any political body should impose their moral beliefs on the nation.

I think that the real motivation behind this Clinton scandal is the Nixon Watergate scandal. The Democrats played the thing to the limit and the combined political and media forces made Nixon look like satan incarnate. I think that a lot of Republicans swore that they would one day get even by turning the tables on the dems.

The major reason that the American political system has worked as well as it has is because of the dynamic tension between the three branches of government. One big diference with the Clinton scandle than that of Nixon is that Nixon's crimes were direct attempt to illegally control the political process. Clinton's problems reside with questionable personal ethics. While it can be argued that the President owes it to the country to have high morale standards and to set an example, this is not central to the his responsilities nor is he out of step with the filandering of past presidents.

Jewinski and her mother will probably end up writting a few books and movie scripts and make millions. And who knows, the right wing of the republican party may elect a four square preacher to head the country (and the US may sink into self-righteous isolationism).
