Sure, Michelle, take cover with your elitist cronies - hope you don't find out about the backgrounds of some of your Democrat champions.

First, your civics background is shaky - the representatives we elect to the House were to be of the common people - the Senate was the higher congressional "class" office. Far be it for me to besmirch a profession, but the preponderance of barristers in our congress has not been all that positive a situation, IMO.

Did you somehow think the Starr Report should have been kept secret? That the House should have conducted the hearings behind closed doors?

That would have been interesting - the Dem's would come out and say there was nothing in the "secret" report and when the votes went against them behind closed doors they'd claim there was nothing in the report and that the President was being railroaded. Good strategy, eh? Then the Dems would fallaciously plant leaks about supposedly exculpatory information that wasn't really in the report as if it were. Another good idea, yes? Then the media would fall all over themselves to make up their view of the report. Both sides would blame each other for the inevitable leaks.

When you're dealing with a party that will lie to support a liar, and a media that will bend and twist a story into a politically correct opinion piece at the behest of that party, you have to put all the facts out for the public to judge the truth.
