Yes, I understand degrees of guilt. The Iran contra affair was wrong, but its proponents believed that they were acting in the national interest, not (for the most part) out of self interest. Clinton, as we both know, is purely trying to save his personal ass. And as a lawyer I'm particularly disturbed to see another officer of the court impeding (which he clearly is) a lawfully established investigatory procedure. If he thinks Starr is out of control, the place to take that is to a judge, not to the opinion polls. Clinton is subverting the legal process he has sworn to uphold, which to me is far more serious than whether he had sex with an intern (even though any liberal in his right mind should deplore a boss using his position of power to have sex with an underling -- if a corporate executive did this, you would be all over him, and you and I both know it.
