Who said anything about sex? You wrote: "One thing I can tell you, that the Reno feds would never intentionally go after an innocent person." Janet Reno wrote:"...I hereby notify in writing the Special Division of the Court that I have commenced a preliminary investigation, 28 U.S.C 592(a)(1), into whether violations of federal criminal law were committed by Monica Lewinsky or any other individual, as described below. As a result of my inquiry into this matter, I request expansion of the jurisdiction of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr to further investigate and determine whether prosecution is warranted. 28 U.S.C. 593(c)(1). The Court has already been informed of this matter and my request orally..."

Clinton is so high on himself, I am very surprised you tolerate him. You realize he floated a trial balloon so that he may be re-elected to a third and fourth term? He got shot down quick. The only thinkg clinton did was not screw up an economy that was running fine. He did good by sitting by the autopilot controls and not touching them. So instead he touched everything else, like his interns, campaign aides, any lady walking by, you know stuff he could play with that he thought he understood.

Quit trying to talk about Clinton's sex life. Nobody cares. Wrong again. Judging from the headlines in today's newspapers, the American people cannot get enough of that randy bad boy Bill. Let the book tour begin. To the mothers of America: Lock up your daughters. Washington Post washingtonpost.com Clinton's Book Tells Of Strains on Marriage Affair Led to Counseling, Self-Examination By John F. Harris Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, June 19, 2004; Page A01 Former president Bill Clinton says his admission to Hillary Rodham Clinton that he carried on an extramarital affair with former intern Monica S. Lewinsky left him banished to a White House couch for two months... <snip> Los Angles Times latimes.com Confessing Affair Led to Months on the Couch NEW YORK — Former President Clinton says in his autobiography that his wife looked as if he had punched her in the gut when he finally confessed to his affair with Monica S. Lewinsky, and he slept on the couch for at least two months after that. <snip> New York Times nytimes.com In a Sprawling Memoir, Clinton Cites Storms and Settles Scores By JOHN M. BRODER Former President Bill Clinton, in a 957-page autobiography that is by turns painfully candid about his personal flaws and gleefully vindictive about what he calls the hypocrisy of his enemies, blamed his affair with Monica Lewinsky on the "old demons" that have haunted him all his life. He said the affair was personally humiliating and almost cost him his presidency and his marriage. In the end, after months sleeping on the couch, a year of intensive marital counseling and his acquittal on impeachment charges in the Senate, he said he finally felt free. <snip> Boston Globe boston.com Clinton book details affair, impeachment The Chicago Sun Times suntimes.com Clinton: I slept on couch after confession to Hillary

I actually don't care about Clinton's sex life. I care about the aftermath. And probably not what you think. Clinton showed his complete lack of character when he hung Monica Lewinsky out to dry. Here was a young woman who desperately tried to keep him out of trouble and risked everything to protect him, and he abandoned her....worse, he dismissed her and then had his henchwoman (Janet Reno) try to destroy legally. There were only two people who came out of that whole affair not looking like crap. That is Monica Lewinsky and Hillary Clinton. Monica was definitely tempted by the most powerful man in the world, who took advantage of her. And in my opinion, the only person who had any right to be angry at Monica or Bill is Hillary. I felt that she handled the public humiliation with dignity (and I am no Hillary fan). After showing a complete lack of character with his dealings with Monica, he should fade into obscurity like so many other historical scumbags.
