to all:

Why the attack on Bill Clinton?

Look on the positive side: Who else do you know who can receive oral sex at the same time he is conferring with a senator? This requires an ability to handle disparate events simultaneously. With all the complexities and decision making required of a president isn1t this act an indication of his extraordinary capacity at multitasking? It would be even more convincing if simultaneously with these two
actions he was indulging another his favorite pastime, namely downing a dozen doughnuts in 2 minutes.

Furthermore, considering the complexities in our legal system isn1t it testimony to his mastery of the law that he can convert a lie into the truth. He had sex with Monica without having sex with her. Consider not only the legal subtlety of this maneuver but its audacity. By generalization do we not need a leader who is audacious and who has the capacity in negotiations with foreign leaders to finesse language in such a masterful manner that he will gain strategic advantage.

Is he not a leader with great self regard? Would we want a leader who places himself second to the people he is assigned to lead? Is this not a contradiction of what it means to be a leader? We want a leader who places himself first, above all others, and then we have a powerful man who we can follow. Powerful men respect and esteem themselves. Do we want a leader to be subject to the same laws as everyman? Then what sort of respect can we grant him when he is no better than the rest of us? Do we want a society of laws or a society of man?

Do not underestimate the value of this man as our leader. We need him. We may even need to establish a new requirement in our efforts to elect future great presidents. They must demonstrate ability to have hundreds of affairs and still have the total loyalty of their wives. Since Clinton claims to have had hundreds of affairs before the age of 40; perhaps we ought not set the rod this high. Could you or I accomplish this feat or would be divorced by our wives not at the 100th episode but at the first? What talent this man has.
