"These crimes are every bit as serious as Watergate."

I really don't think you can equate lying about an adulterous relationship with Watergate.

The damage done to the reputation of the legal process was done by Starr, and the reputation of "our politics in general", was utterly smeared by the Hyde and his inquisitors. So badly did Starr embarrass his office, that the office is now gone. So badly did Hyde and his cronies embarrass their Constitutional obligations, that they couldn't even pull down a simple majority to convict in the Senate. Clinton-haters lost. Get over it already.

Spud Wrench: You write: "These crimes are every bit as serious as Watergate":

Surely you jest. Nixon tried to turn the presidency into a monarchy. Clinton has a problem keeping his Lil Gen'l in his pants, a problem, by the way, shared by half of his GOP accusers, including Hyde and Burton and Livingston and Watts and on and on.

If not for Monicagate, the Repubs would have created another vehicle to impeach him. This has nothing to do with justice, but everything to do with attack-dog partisan politics.

Seriously, what do you think the odds are that Clinton will ever see the inside of a jailhouse, much less do time? A million to one?
