Cal Thomas? Who cares what his opinion is. All these pundits and reports as well aren't reflecting what the American people in a majority feel and think about this whole smear effort.

We don't have a parlimentary system of government. It will take a lot more than sex and lying about sex to bring down the President. Starr was out to get Clinton. He never could make a case against him. Now all he has is Monica and Tripp's doctored tapes; that is one pretty weak case. You don't impeach a President purely on principle when the circumstances surrounding the entire issue has been the abuse of the legal system to politically entrap the President and force him to public admit to things that are not relevant or material in any way to anything except his wife. This thing just doesn't fly and we are already hearing about it. Alan Dershowitz has already stated that this falls far far short of an impeachable offense. Wait till the American Bar Association weighs in on the same side of this issue. You don't kick out a President over a weak argument because of abstract principles ignoring the circumstances. A backlash is coming. This is going to blow up in the Republican's face. The case is so weak and so irrelevant and trumped up that people are going to be calling for Ken Starr's head in a few weeks. This is what all this time and money was spent on? There is going to be some real anger and it won't be at Clinton. The author of the report is starting to look like he went way over the line of decency in his effort to smear the President. It looks and reads partisan and it will be increasing comprehended that this was a dirty trick effort to politically smear the President by an opposition that lost the last election on the issues. They tried the character campaign before and they lost. They are starting to look like they lack character backing a report that is an obvious tabloid effort not worth of the nation's time.
