Jim, FYI, I really dont understand these people. Yes they hate Clinton - in fact, they can hardly wait until he is impeached, or commits suicide or any of a host of terrible fates all of which have been discussed in great length here. What I dont get is, what is the net affect of this discourse now, to the country etc. Hes almost done with his term, is an impeachment really the best thing for the country (of course because of all these hysterics maybe it is, just because they wont calm down on the issue). The damage has already been done to Lewinsky, maybe somewhat by Clinton, but mostly by this media circus, impeaching Clinton is not going to do anything for her. Have any of you Clinton bashers really thought about what you want now and why? You remind me of the peasant onlookers when Francois Garbaillot went to the guillotine, apparently a fascinating public display, unfortunately Mr. Garbaillot was the only person who knew the formula for pesticide and next year the grain supply perished.

I've never said I hate Clinton. I am angry with him though, for the damage he has done to the reputation of America. He's an international laughingstock. He's a little boy hiding with his illicit candy, who will abuse the powers of his office to keep from getting caught with his illicit candy. That's not Presidential behavior, and the American people expect much more* of their leader. That's it in a nutshell. *illicit: reference to marriage vows, which are promises made to your spouse in which in part you promise to "remain faithful".

I'm not sure hate is the right term. But he has dragged the office of the Presidency in the mud. He has set a horrible example of leadership. As a parent, how am I supposed to overcome this example he parades on TV of adultery, sex with a subordinate, lying, blaming others, even now refusing to simply accept personal responsibility. He is making the job of parents much, much harder. It takes more than a village to overcome the effects of exposing children to this level of degradation and dishonesty. A very competent therapist has said we should have expected this. He is the adult child of an alcoholic who has never dealt with his issues. This therapist predicted six years ago that Clinton would debase the presidency in some way, and he was completely right. When you see a rabid dog on the street, why would you go up and pet the thing?
