As I said, I have only met the woman, we are not friends.... But perhaps if I send her transcripts of your posts, she will become beguiled.
You think that Carville and Co. gave him his due, I said that he had been vilified, okay, let us just say "attacked", whether deservedly or not. Fair enough?
Your main beef is with the Special Prosecutor statute, which most Republicans opposed. Starr's office got over a dozen convictions, cleared Clinton in the Vince Foster affair (which is part of his mandate), and finally arrived at the Blue Dress. The statute itself made him the Energizer Bunny, but it is not as if he had nothing to show for it. In any case, the expansion was premised on discovering a pattern, and I am sorry that it could get no further. But maybe Web will crack...
I would be happy to join you in the call for the demise of the SP statute, by the way.
As for my assertion about the Republicans, surely you know that a number of moderates were fence- sitting on the impeachment vote, and that even some conservatives would have been just as glad not to pursue this thing, if only because of the political risk. I think it is clear that Clinton could have defused the situation, were he not so shameless and self- righteous.
Incidentally, the average townhouse in the metro area goes for between $100,000 and $150,000, I can't recall the exact figure.
