No NO No, I can't believe this!
Don't use French Women to bolster an argument, it's an act of desperation. It's entirely untenable, trust me, I know...Boy do I know. Not a rational bone or brain cell in their bodies.
Now, It's not, repeat, Not the private sex life of Bill Clinton that is in question in either the Paula Jones Case or the Lewisnsky matter.
In the first case, it's a matter of sexual harassment(SH). Try SH in any other context and you would be out on your ear in a heart beat. I went through a mandatory seminar at work about the subject. So touchy, pardon the pun, is the issue with employers that they don't want even the possibility that a third party might be offended by what they think they saw or overheard. What is the definition of SH? According to the law, at least in my state, What ever a woman thinks it is. Talk about a hostile environment. Billy is alleged to have harassed Paula; who knows how many others. That is illegal! So says the laws of the land as promulgated by the Congress.
In the latter case: Bill may have lied under oath and suborned perjury. That is an impeachable offence. Obstruction of justice is unlawful,
So, if Clinton is guilty of these things he has commited crimes that are in within the range of what the constitution refers to as High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
In addition, because of these allegations, the private life of the Pres is by default become a public matter. (In fact who ever said that any public official has a right to a private life anyway - I digress) In this situation Bill's private sex life is at the core of his problems. He has a pattern, it seems, of engaging in gratuitous sex with anyone he can find that is willing. Along the way, and it's bound to happen, he runs across women who are not swayed by his charm or manhood. They are repulsed and humiliated, and no doubt shocked that the poster boy for the "NOW" and standard barer for Feminist everywhere would try and pull off somthing like that (Boy it's really hard to avoid these puns).
What appears to be taking shape is the fact that Bill has a sexual compulsion that so overwhelms him that he is willing to take tremendous risks. He can't control it, and is willing to use his office of the Presidency; of power and that which we entrusted to him through the democratic process to, obtain it.
He has not only violated the law but disgraced it, the country and the people he claims so ardently to work for.
If he is guilty, of course.

No man. |
