>>but what's your take on this latest Clinton brouhaha?<< Market big-wigs probably want the whole thing to go away, and the general public doesn't seem to give a rat's a**. This sort of thing has been going on ever since there was a Presidency, from Jefferson's love slave to FDR's bedside mistress. I am not condoning this behavior, but the US (and perhaps the UK) seems to go it alone in the world as far as holding politicians to some sort of moral sex code. Republicans are trying to posture for the 2000 elections, and if they can somehow drag Gore into all this, or at least paint him with the same brush, they feel they may have a better shot at the White House. Democrats of course wish it would go away, but have to be pleased so far with the public's disinterest. The latest thing is of course the alleged coverup and forceful tampering of a witness against Clinton. There are supposedly tape recording of her giving accounts to a friend regarding Clinton's "genius" (my quotations). If it can be proven that some Democrats did in fact compel her to lie, then we could start the rumblings of a Watergate type coverup. However, by the time any impeachment proceedings were to get underway, Clinton will be very close to being finished with his second and last term in office anyway. Basically, I believe it is mostly political posturing on both sides to prepare for the 2000 elections, and has much less to do with a sexual harassment case.
