But j_b, I gather you would put me in the extreme on one side. As I replied to you before, I don't much like Clinton, and have been down on him since he proved himself politically inept in his first two years. You see extremism on both sides, but somehow I don't recall much of the Arkansas project style professional dirt digging from Clinton or the Democrats. Clinton may be slick, but I don't recall any Willie Horton style campaigning from him either. Is there something I've been missing? You can point to attacks on Starr, I guess, but I can't see smearing the smear artist as quite the same as initiating smear tactics. Or was the Starr report a dispassionate presentation of "facts" in your mind too?

I'm really saddened by the low state of our politics, but a pox on both houses doesn't seem quite right to me. The trouble with dirty politics is that it works. Do you see any way out of this mess? Posting here sure can't do much good, when you have to slog through 10 1-line putdowns to get to a reasonable post.

Cheers, Dan.
