Hi Dwight E. Karlsen; My guess is that the boring Ken Starr
reports get released by the end of the month or so. It is my
guess that they will contain accusations of misconduct similar
to that performed by Nixon.

To me, the Watergate bugging etc., wasn't the nastiest thing
that Nixon was associated with. The worst was using the
government for political purposes. In particular the FBI.

Clinton's abuse of FBI files and the giving of government jobs
to silence witnesses (like Lewinski's pentagon job) are the
essence of the evilness.

On the other hand, I think that those who are found having
sex with their subordinates in the office during the work day
should be subject to dismissal. Those who make it a habit
to show their rod to the staff should be subject to jail. Clearly
this is part of Bill's method of "dating". All those women who
have accused him of it in the past now look pretty believable.
The POTUS is a very sick puppy, and needs help badly. He
does not need to be the leader of the greatest nation on earth.

I feel sorry for all the parents in the country that now have to
explain to their children what the "graphic" (should be "textual")
details are all about. But that is not the fault of Starr.

Clinton is acting like an escaped prisoner who thinks that by
hiding in the sewer he can escape from justice. It is the
repugnant duty of Starr to go down into that sewer after
Clinton. But it is a duty, and an honorable one, and he
is performing his duty.

Those people who are defending Clinton by talking about
the details in Starr's report are not thinking very clearly.
Our government prosecutes the crime of rape despite the
fact that salacious details are involved. The same applies
to sexual harassment as well as statutory rape cases. The
case at hand is one of sexual harassment. Incidentally, the
job offers that Lewinski received are clear evidence of
preferential treatment to her, and this supports the Paula
Jones lawsuit. (I.e. Paula Jones didn't have the most
powerful men in the country finding jobs for her.)

But in the end, the Lewinski report will only be looked back
on as an illustration of how the Clinton regime treats the
truth. The Starr report that puts Clinton out of office has
not been released yet. If this Friday's report were all, it
would be enough. But before congress can act on the
Lewinski matter, Clinton will have much worse charges
against him. Wait and see, it shouldn't be terribly long.
