Re. 'uh, two consenting adults'. Point to be made is that Clinton is an OLDER ADULT MAN who should have some sense of responsibility when it comes to a beautiful young woman who works for him.

While Lewinsky is a YOUNG WOMAN of 21. A 21 year old woman does not have the maturity that a 31 or 41 year old woman has and can easily be taken advantage of by the likes of Clinton.

Yes she obviously consented in the heat of the moment or moments---but who led her into consenting---a married man almost old enough to be her father and who happens to be President of this great nation.

The other day a young clerk was giving me change. One of the dollar bills had stamped on it Impeach Clinton. As she gave me the bill she said---I was always taught that writing on money was disrepectful to our country.

Similarly, I was always taught to respect the office of the Presidency of the United States. Clinton has in my opinion defaced the office of the Presidency just as that dollar bill was defaced. He has made it impossible to respect the office of the Presidency through his personal "private" actions.

As any politician knows---when one enters public life your whole life is open to scrutiny by the public.

As a man Clinton has defaced the oval office which also represents the figurative Office of the Presidency. Rather than the oval office being a place of respect-----people now ask the question where were Bill and Monica in this room when they "did not have sexual relations".

Obviously, Clinton believes that its okay to ----around in the oval office. He has defaced the office of the Presidency just as the person who wrote on the dollar bill defaced the currency.

I believe that the National Organization for Women has come out in support of Jones (albeit after twiddling their thumbs for a few years). I don't know if they filed a brief on Jones' behalf in any instance, but it's possible that they will if the case goes up on appeal.
