Coby, I just watched the Rose Garden presentation by the Clinton team. I must say it was skillfully crafted. Gephardt did the hardest hammering on the Republicans. Gore, needing to appear somewhat presidential in stature, was somewhat above the fray, but still got his punches in. Finally, Clinton, with much of the dirty work behind, was able to stake out a high road.

I was somewhat moved by the event, even recognizing the crafting of the event. Still, I think lying under oath and coaching witnesses is illegal and should not go unpunished.

I also note that is ironic to me that Democrats repeatedly refer to what Republicans did as partisan. Supposedly only Republicans that supported Clinton showed courage and voted their conscience. I would say that one's conscience might come down on either side of the issue depending on one's value system. And it is just as partisan of Democrats not to cross party lines if that is their sole reason for voting the way they did.
