If Ronald Reagan had been caught getting blow jobs in the Oval office from an intern, I have no doubt the same people who are claiming tolerance, would be screaming for his head!

I would have merely snickered, and not at all because of the blow job at all, but because of his espousing Christian right family values while getting it on with an intern. In any case such a scenario would be unlikely because they didn't have viagra back during the Reagan era. :-)

Why were the Democrats the first ones to scream bloody murder for the heads of Clarence Thomas and Bob Packwood, yet so accepting here?

Re: Packwood. His own constituents wanted him out. Re: Thomas. He got his job, didn't he? The charges were aired, he responded, the statute of limitations was way over anyway, and he got to sit on the Supreme Court in his full Uncle Tom splendor.
Besides the Democrats--like the Republicans--are political opportunists. To paraphrase you, why was Trent Lott so accepting of Nixon but among the first to scream bloody murder for the head of Bill Clinton? Come on Michael, don't play naive. You're obviously much more intelligent than that.

Why were they after anyone and everyone remotely associated with the tailhook party?

Puh---lease! No one has remotely accused the President of sexual assault.
