some particle of tangible evidence of guilt

Setting aside speculation, we already know that he suborned perjury, tampered with a witness, and impeded a police investigation. If that was you or me, we'd get arrested.

Hi Karen-

To me, there is more than enough on the record now for Condit to be ousted from office for "conduct unbecoming."

And to me, given what we know, it does make a difference when some women actually go out of their way to speak out on his behalf.

We can agree to disagree on this, and get back to our celebration of Goldens and cats.

:-) JC

What does gender have to do with the
quality or flavor of one's judgment.


It shouldn't.

But it does.

Because the reality is that women react differently than men to to the same situation.

And when feminists have in the past so strongly condemned conservative men on no more evidence than there is against Condit, for them now to defend Condit is hypicritical. Since their earlier comments were made as feminists, it is fair to judge their current comments on the basis of their gender.

In a perfect world, gender wouldn't matter.

So far, I haven't noticed that we've achieved a perfect world yet.
