<<<I'm not condoning affairs I'm just saying that ANYONE can have a weak moment. Either you have no sex drive or you are telling the worst lie of all, a lie to yourself. If you had an affair would you feel that you should be fired from you job because you are setting a bad example for the rest of us, or is it none of our business? My whole point is that the press and Star should have been responsible enough to leave this one alone. >>> Only those with some level of maturity can understand that the character of a man is sometimes judged by his ability to deny himself short term gratification that could bring pain and ruin to himslef and those around him. Something Mr. Clinton will never learn. And if I received BJ's in my office at work and retained my job all I could think is "these people are crazy" while unzipping my pants. Get the picture. <<<You must be a real sphincter boy if you judge someone's intelligence by his or her spelling.>>> Yes, heaven forbid.

<<If you had an affair would you feel that you should be fired from you job because you are setting a bad example for the rest of us >> I would expect to lose my job if I had an affair with a subordinate and was caught. Not necessarily because of the example I would be setting (although I do feel that the responsibility goes with the power), but because of potential lawsuits and the effects it would have on employee morale. When it becomes known that someone can get promoted by bending over for the boss, it generates hostility (especially among the men, who just can't bring themselves to participate in those events <g>), reduces the desire to do a good job, and generally results in an unpleasant work environment. Not to mention that it distracts from the work people are supposed to be doing. For instance, if the cigar incident is true, Clinton kept someone who is the functional equivalent of a head of state waiting, while he had his dalliance. How do you think Arafat feels about that today? Does that affect our foreign policy? Shouldn't Clinton have been focusing on his upcoming meeting? Was he distracted during that meeting? If so, what errors did he make? What does the media's irresponsibility have to do with the rightness or wrongness of what Clinton may have done?
