<I'm sure that Bill Clinton would have been perfectly happy to have never discussed any of this stuff. It was his political opponents who insisted on stirring up the muck.>
Must be that "right wing conspiracy" that Hillary was talking about, before the discovery of the blue dress.
So if Clinton just got his blow-jobs without anyone having to know about it, the world would be a better place, right? Never mind that the Oval Office is owned by the taxpayers, including myself who has to pay for capital gains. Now the majority might want to turn a blind eye to this atrocity thanks to Clinton's popularity and the strong economy, but I sure don't. And if I found out that the Oval Office was being used as a place of adultery, I'd insist on stirring up muck. Would that make me a right-wing extremist?
It's up to the public to decide whether Clinton's behavior is acceptable or not. But it sure isn't acceptable at all to try and cover-up questionable behavior just because the persons involved didn't think the public needed to know. Remember, Milosevic doesn't think the world needs to know about ethnic cleansing, either. (If this is a stretch, remember that Milosevic thinks the world would have been a much more peaceful place had he been left alone to ethnically cleanse the Albanians in the first place. After all, it's not our problem, is it?)
As a pragmatist, you should know about the practicality of letting the public decide for themselves, rather than keeping the public in the dark. Most of us might not care, but some of us do.
