Neocon.. its refreshing to listen to a considered mind, not some of the driftwood that washes up around here. Your points are well taken and I wasn't aware of the timing in the Jones litigation. Do you know, if when "she came forward" she was doing so as a litigant or did lawyers find her when they became aware of her story?
In my opinion Clinton should have offered an apology on the spot. Perhaps I'm of an older generation that realizes sexuality, however poorly expressed, isn't always attached to a dollar sign. I've had women drop their dresses and open their blouses. I even had a few late night calls of desperation. Should I go to court over the fact that people get physical. Maybe clothing should be banned for a week each year so we can get used to the fact that there's nudity inside the Ann Taylor and Brooks Brothers shells. That's part of life and God bless us for being sexual creatures.
You're right, I stand corrected, Clinton was (as you say) elected by those who voted. Isn't that the same thing? Despite low voter turnout, broadly based polls still show him to doing well in the public's eye. Yes, Al Gore is a scary thought. He's been taking drama lessons and its not working.
Look, its a tough, nasty world out there. It really is, try traveling overseas sometime. You'll find every kind of con-artist despot you can imagine and they don't care about your life, your property, or your rights. While I don't like Clinton in many respects, he's a tougher son of a bitch than we think. He's devoted to this country in a hundred ways few people realize and the world has a greater respect for him, and because of that for this country, than they do Congress or the Senate. |
