Lizzie, frankly I think the Clinton administration is one of the most corrupt in history. I saw a 60 Minutes piece on Clinton's ties when he was governor to Arkansas to whatever his first name is Tyson, the chicken king. Tyson's pilot stated that he used to regularly fly big envelopes of cash to Clinton as bribe money. The chicken industry is just filthy and the Clinton administration COULD clean it up so that there are not so many work-related repetitive stress injuries in chicken workers. A lot of people end up crippled as the result of this work, and salmonella kills and makes sick far too many Americans. I also believe Clinton raped that woman--I have forgotten her name for the moment--and that his operatives used very heavy tactics in keeping all sorts of people silent, including death threats at the very least. Newt Gingrich is disgusting as a man; as a scholar/teacher he was slightly interesting. No matter how much dirt you could dig up against him, he is not the president, and Clinton and his Cabinet are much more deserving of investigation. There was plenty of press about the Iran/Contra scandal as it was unfolding. Too bad there hasn't been more about Clinton and Indonesia's Riady family!! In any event, I have never been fully convinced that Reagan even knew about Iran/Contra, or at least didn't know very much. When he found out about it he was visibly stunned, apologized, and asked for a full investigation, as I recall. I am not a fan of Reagan's politics, but I certainly believe he had a lot more integrity than Bill Clinton. Wasn't Mike Espy the Agriculture Secretary? I think that has all been especially corrupt under Clinton, but I do not remember the details of this particular scandal. There have been so many!
