I've read the report, with an open mind. I have concluded that Ken Starr is all that his critics have said. Bill Clinton is a fool in love (or in heat) but never stepped over an impeachable line. To hide gifts ( if he did ) is tampering with evidence of an affair. Trying to get her a job happens all the time in D.C. and NYC and everywhere else.
If Clinton had paid her money, put her on the payroll ... well now that is corrupt. But he didn't.

If you were fool enough to do what he did with her, wouldn't you say don't talk about it, let me try to help get you a job?

So, there isn't much here, other than the silly sex -- which speaks as badly of Starr's judgment as it does of Clinton's.

It also reads, between the lines, as if sweet Monica was the aggressor, which leaves Bill more the fool, but less the schemer.

Last point, I found the *words* of his prayer breakfast statement, along with that of the Rev. Mann who follow him, moving and powerful -- as profoundly in touch with our frail human condition as Starr's titilating details are narrowly tight-assed and vindictive. It doesn't matter if Clinton was just acting as he said those words, their strength remains and should be heard. (And I'm not a religious fellow.)

And, oh yes, this tempest won't much hurt the market -- and certainly not Dell.

** OT **

There is zero evidence of either witness tampering or obstruction of justice. Remember, the Jones case was about sexual harassment, NOT an overactive sex life or adultery.

What there is evidence of is that Starr and his minions were determine to get Clinton regardless of how flimsy the case. Clinton may be guilty of lots of things, but high crimes and misdemeanors are not among them. Remember, if this can happen to your political enemy it can also happen to your political friend. This is nothing less than Pandora's box.
