How have you "learned that the perjury charge will not stand up". BTW which perjury charge? JLA

Greenpeace, I'm still trying to get a handle on you. Are you sure you're not putting us on? Clinton is a "truly gifted leader"? That's about the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen written on SI. Tell us you're kidding. Right? It's all a parody. Right?

I'm afraid to say that today's news is bad for all Americans. Not the ones who are the producers. I would have preferred Monica to stay with the President on their private affair. I'm sure we all would have. Especially Hillary. However, I look forward to Clinton showing you guys what a truly gifted leader he really is. You spelled LIAR wrong. It's L-I-A-R, not L-E-A-D-E-R. I know you are the lawyer, but I have learned that the perjury charge will not hold up. This ought to be good. Where, pray tell, did you learn this? And there is and never was any obstruction. Then why hasn't Clinton accepted any one of the six separate offers to testify and clear his name? And why has he invoked every privilege in the book and invented even more to keep from telling the truth? Clinton will prevail, but not before the Republicans drag this country through the mud. Take another look. Believe me, I wish with all my heart that a sitting President was innocent of the charges he's now facing. But the facts indicate otherwise, and overwhelmingly at that. It's embarrassing, and I haven't been this ashamed to be an American since Jimmy Carter gave us an 18% prime rate and let a few Iranian radicals hold 51 hostages for over a year while he told us to wear sweaters. Ken Starr will save the country's reputation. Think he'd be elected in 2000? RS

I appreciate your confirmation that I understood your position reasonably -- one of the tasks I used to assign my debate students in the days I was a teacher was to require them to state their opponent's position, then ask the opponent if they had done a fair job of the presentation. Was interesting and, I think, productive of rational thinkers. However, I was disappointed that you spoiled a positive, reasonable, and constructive post with your "white sheeted" accusation. However others on this thread may feel, I have more respect for participants who argue ideas and issues instead of namecalling, and hope in future we can dialog without stooping to that level.
