Thomas-

I notice you did not bother to answer the questions that I posed to you. Moreover, I am not aware that Sleazebag Bill has admitted to the serious charges with which the House Judiciary Committee has charged him. He and his defenders are trying to palm all this off as "merely a sex scandal", when people like me believe they can no longer trust a damn word he says [OK, I'll admit it, I never believed a word he said when he was my governor] and that he may have obstructed justice. By saying, "shameful acts carried out and admitted by the president" you seem to suggest that he has admitted to the shameful, dishonest, illegal conduct with which he has been charged. That's not the case: he's only admitted- begrudgingly, belatedly, and indirectly- to sexual impropriety with "that woman, Miss Lewinsky". To suggest that is all there is too this case is to trivialize to the point of mindless absurdity the serious charges which are now before the House.

You are undeniably correct that some Representatives may be placing their political careers on the line with their vote concerning impeaching Clinton. When a serious, constitutionally mandated responsibility such as the current impeachment proceedings is before the House I expect a legislator to place justice and the interests of the nation before his or her own political future, although I have little confidence that that actually is the case with all Representatives.
