President Clinton ought to resign. He has destroyed his presidency. He has soiled the public discourse because of his sexual appetites. He has lied to the nation and has tried to wiggle out of trouble once too often. He has set the nation on a course of long and painful humiliation, in the form of the coming impeachment hearings in the U.S. House of Representatives. He has done all these things, not Kenneth Starr and not any right-wing conspiracy. Even if independent counsel Starr were a vindictive political enemy, it would be Clinton's fault for allowing an enemy to find him so vulnerable, so awfully vulnerable. This is Shakespearean tragedy without the poetry. This is the hero destroyed by his own sin of pride, his own arrogance. And this is a pathetic place in which this country finds itself. We know these things today about President Bill Clinton: He has proven to be reckless and irresponsible in his personal life. He has caused is own humiliation before the world. He has lied repeatedly to the American people to perpetuate a deception. He has manipulated other to speak falsely on his behalf. On Friday, he wept as the told clergymen of his great sorrow for having sinned. While he was doing that, his attorney, David Kendall, was preparing an attack on Starr's report to the Congress, saying Clinton's actions were "wrong but not impeachable." There are bigger issues here then beating the rap and holding onto power. And here's one. Is the president worthy of our continued trust? No, in my opinion. Will I forgive this sinful man; we are all sinners, and thank God that none of us have been subjected to the incredible scrutiny that Clinton has endured. But forgiving and trusting are two different things. I for one hope Clinton does not put this country through an impeachment, especially one that will humiliate his family and America.
