Maybe its just cause I'm a lawyer but I've always regarded perjury, subornation of perjury, misleading a court and misusing your office to be a big deal....... I thought that was the big deal about it too, but I found many people I would say that to had the same reaction...that it was just kiss and tell. The guy's job was to be the chief executive in charge of implementing our laws, for Chrissake. After awhile I just stopped talking to people about that aspect of it because I just couldn't understand why they weren't profoundly offended by his lack of respect for the legal system.

In a sane country the questions would never have been asked. When the judicial system is hijacked as a tool of a political vendetta, you get lies. Big surprise? Don't get me wrong, there are real questions that needed to be asked about Clinton's management of the country. One of the biggest questions involved the issue of pumping up the stock market bubble with cheap money and a high tolerance for the loose accounting practices so loved by the Reagan/Bush I deregulation crowd. The problem was that the Republicans didn't have the balls to engage on that issue, since they were having even more fun with riding the bubble (and pretending that they were getting rich through their own wit) than the Democrats were. Instead of playing the necessary killjoy role and pointing out that what was happening in the markets was neither real nor beneficial, they played the tabloid scandalmonger role, with predictable results. There's plenty to argue, and plenty to criticize, in the Clinton administration's handling of national affairs. His sex life is a silly little sideshow.
