Dwight, I was hypothesizing in that post, and either scenario, another scenario, or none of the above could apply. With regard to the fantasy part, there is the possibility of transference, meaning that all of what Monica said on the tape took place, but with a man or men other than the President. Presidents come and go. The Paulas and Monicas will always be with us, as will the Walshes and The Starrs. There will always be wars and dalliances and rumors of wars and dalliances. What do I believe in this current event? I've not given it much thought beyond a personal abiding disgust with the media. What it's really all about is what the media choose to tell us and how they choose to slant it, and, to me, that is the most frightening part of all of this and the thing most worthy of national attention and concern and, of course, remediation. I too feel a little ill. Holly

Dwight, I neglected to address the issue of seeming favoritism and the security clearance bestowed upon Monica. The favoritism is not so worrisome to me and is, in fact, quite understandable. The security clearance is an altogether different matter. I understand that there are varying levels of security clearances. At what level was Monica's security clearance? To what would she or could she have access? To me, Monica's greatest fault seems to be overwhelmingly poor judgment. With her level of security clearance, how much damage could she do? What kind of supervision did she have? I have probably fifty more questions along these lines, but I think I've made it clear that I don't care whether or not Slick boinked Monica or whether Monica was given preferential treatment or even whether she committed perjury about the alleged boinking. What I do care about is how and by what means Monica wound up in the Pentagon and at what level of security clearance and what she did there. This is something the media should get their collective teeth into and not let go of until they shake out all the facts. Holly

Dwight, I think you might feel ill because most people simply don't seem to care about anything Bill Clinton does, seemingly including ALLEGED perjury and/or the possible felonies committed in Arkansas. His approval ratings are up again, and the American public has a big disconnect with anything negative about this guy. I think that old saying--the American people get the leadership they deserve--is very appropriate here.
