Like I said earlier, the testosterone levels necessary to be elected President of the United States far exceed what most people can comprehend. Uh, the logic of that statement speaks for itself. If we're voting for pure testosterone, maybe Arnold Swartzennager or Sylvester Stallone would make excellent presidents. Clinton's presidency has been under an almost unbelievable political attack since the first days he was in office. I'm not going to shed any tears over this fact. Any president is going to be under unbelievable political attack. It comes with the job description, and Clinton knew it. Why is Clinton expected to be a saint, while Starr is allowed to use coercion, extortion, bribery, entrapment and harassment to achieve his political goals? First, if Starr truly used extortion, bribery, entrapment, and harassment to achieve his political goals, then he should be tried just like anyone else. Believe me, if any of those crimes have truly been committed by Ken Starr, Clinton's lawyers would pounce on them in a second. Instead, they're fighting a back-court defense. I'm sure you know why. Second, I don't expect Clinton to be a saint, merely because I'm not a saint, and no one else is. I just expect Clinton to be honorable and forthcoming with his weaknesses. But he hasn't, and he flat out lied to the public, destroying the trust that was built up toward his administration. I'll accept the fact that Clinton is only human. But I'm only human as well, and a typical human is hurt when his or her trust has been betrayed. Meanwhile, we still have people out there who tell others to go on with their lives pretending as if nothing happened. I'd like to, but I can't easily put aside my own anger over the whole deal. As for Starr, an article by USA Today talks about Starr's own character. Check out this link: usatoday.com It's a great article on the many facets of Starr's personality, both positive and negative. If you think that the focus of the this whole issue should be about Ken Starr and not about Bill Clinton, this article is a must-read. Tenchusatsu
