or desperate....

But whether he be ill, desperate, starved for love & attention or a little TLC, who knows what; it's not a matter for the public.

Unfortunately, he's a very public figure. He should have had the discipline to protect/uphold his reputation as the leader of our country.

Perhaps Monica L. should've mysteriously disappeared after her liasons w/ Mr. Clinton. What did she figure might happen from her affiliation with him? Fame & fortune, no doubt. She, too, may be ill, desperate, starved for love & attention or a little TLC, who knows what. She did not need to protect her reputation as a leader of our country, however.

>>>Do you not think the Pres is ill? Good lord, what a sorry person he is!<<<

I have never been asked to provide a diagnosis...

However, there are many, many of us who share a lot of the dynamics that apparently were present in this person's own childhood, and thus may have similar challenges in adulthood. These things may or may not motivate one to seek positions of power instead of positions of relationship in areas of sexuality, politics, business, family, etc.

But to answer your question, yes, it would seem that something is off there. However, if the most severe evidence of anything wrong is his inability to curb his desire for reckless foolishness with unreliable and immature women, then I would say we have been fortunate. Other presidents have been prone to this too, and in most instances there have been people of power
in Washington who were privy to this about them and able to do something personal about it but chose not to make a big deal of it publicly.

If we are willing to judge the president as "ill," how are we to label our own attraction to and infatuation with all of this. Why are we so irresistibly drawn to the details both privately and publicly. As a people, this is an incredible, in fact historic, indulgence on our part. Perhaps the media is "ill," as well as much else about our society today? What of those who deliberated and diligently planned the instigation of this investigation to begin with, and whose goal it was to carry it to its ultimate public spectacle, how do we judge the nature of their motivation?

I wonder, with all this outrage about the president's failure as role model for our children, how do Mr Starr and congress plan on rationalizing their decision to put all the erotic details on the internet where children are often more adept than their parents at navigating and gaining access to the best of the web? They are doing their best to heap disgrace upon disgrace on this president, it would seem, other stated ideals be damned. Is hypocrisy an "illness," perhaps?

This is a time when we would all do well to step back and reflect, not only on our president, but on ourselves as well.
