Actually, the events described between POTUS and ML are well within the limits of human normality. I suppose that ML would have left the wrapper on the cigar... But activities that are normal and legal in one place, are not necessarily normal or legal when done in another place. People have adulterous affairs all the time. If they get caught having them in the office, even during after hours, they lose their job. It is perfectly normal for individuals to drink adult beverages, take their clothes off, and fall asleep on the floor. When our night janitor did this in the building, he lost his job when he was found asleep the next morning. The woman who found him, thought him dead, at first sight. I have never heard of anyone admitting having sex at work and keeping their job. This would particularly apply to a boss of an employee, or someone using other employees (guards, etc.) to ensure privacy. Any activity like this would be considered more than adequate grounds for dismissal. Professors who have sex with their students (in their office?) get fired at many universities, particularly those that have rules governing the relations between students and professors. Some universities allow this providing it is off campus, and the student is not one who's grades (or graduation or what have you) is controlled directly by the professor. The president is in a much more public position than a professor at a university. These are standards for normal behavior in our society. Sex is something that people generally keep pretty quiet. It is hard to get proof of this sort of activity, cause people generally don't do it in the open. When you do catch them, like Pee Wee at the (dark and private) movie theatre, there are consequences. Part of the reason for their being relatively severe consequences is that this sort of activity is rarely caught. When it is, you can generally assume that a lot more went on undetected. A lot of people have accused WJC of doing this sort of thing for years. For years, WJC's supporters claimed that the accusations were lies. Now it is clear that this sort of behaviour is something WJC is capable of, and cannot control, perhaps. The people who suggested that the rumours of sexual activity at the work place were just "right wing lies" have now been shown to be wrong. What about the other right wing rumours. Is the POTUS a heavy cocaine user? Might this affect his judgement on issues of concern to the security of the United States? Did he catch his Nixon-like paranoia as a result of years of cocaine use? Remember that he won't release his medical records. Personally, though I dislike Al Gore's politics relative to Clinton, I would prefer Gore as chief. Gore has some minor fund raising stuff going on, but I haven't seen him standing around making deliberate, knowing lies to the public. -- Carl Abbreviations: WJC: William Jefferson Clinton POTUS: Pervert Of The US.
