Careerism. Bill Clinton suffers the same ailment. When you think about it the personalities of those involved in politics tend to share many common characteristics. Lying is another one. The job calls for them.

Janice, are you still grasping at straws trying to save your man Bill?? Give it up Janice, he's cheated on you. You are just going to have to live with it. :-) Now go have a smoke and make some googoo eyes at your perfect Eric. He will appreciate and be true to you. :-) Don't ya know you just can't trust those liberal politicians. Just take a look at the guy's face. The truth is there Janice! <GGG> garstecki.net Michael

Is it normal to give a political party several hundred thousand dollars? It is reported that the Willeys did this, also. And that she and her husband considered the Clintons FRIENDS, and equals, socially speaking. I think we have heard a very limited bit of this complex story, from both sides. But no, the gifts before, and the letters and gifts afterwards, do not seem abnormal to me. One of the normal reactions to an unwelcome pass by a boss or a President is to push it aside, or down, and not really deal with it because it can make the other parts of the relationship very awkward. Willey's husband was deeply in debt, and then he died the same day she went to see Clinton, so she needed to preserve the business relationship. This is just a strong survival instinct playing out, to me at least. He was still her best bet for a job, and Willey needed one badly.If she did not lead him on, then why should she suffer any consequences as the result of his bad judgment? If she did lead him, why didn't they go ahead and have sex in the office? There is a big chunk missing here, and I cannot really make any sense of it so far.
