<<let he who is without sin--people who live in glass houses, ect. ect.>> Besides being somewhat trite, this comment is not very relevant. Whatever anyone else may have done does not in any way relate to Clinton's innocence or guilt. As relates to sin, if someone has committed a particular moral error in the past, repented of that error, and has made the error no more, they are definitely on a moral high ground when compared to someone who commits the error daily, gets caught, blames other people, and continues to err. Ignoring this will not make it go away. The person committing the error must be made to face the consequences of their actions.

Hard as it may be for some people to believe, there are many Americans who are neither serial liars nor serial perjurers, nor serial adulterers. It is much easier to forgive the first sin than the identical fifth one. Actually, Mr. Clinton has one over- riding belief "As long as I can avoid getting caught, the rules don't apply to me. If I get caught, I will pretend to be sorry, and any consequences of breaking the rules still won't apply to me". Today's confession wasn't contrition, it was a carefully crafted political action. It's pitiful that so many Democrats have so little belief in their fellow Americans that 55 voted against even letting the public see the Starr report. What scum. Makes me proud not to be a Democrat. In all fairness most Democrats voted to release the report.
