<< ... were pushing purient thinking into America's youth about Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky, that ... misguided efforts there served as a tremendous distraction? >> I was amazed when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a President's time was so worthless, that he could be sued in Civil Court, while he was President. That was, perhaps, the stupidest Supreme Court decision, ever! While the religious conservatives were bogging this nation down trying to find out who Clinton was sleeping with, the terrorists were preparing their game plan for attacking America. The civil suit against Clinton, and the subsequent grand jury investigation, distracted America, and was a significant help to America's enemies.
