While we might agree on the market from time to time, we are miles apart on this Thomas. Check out the editorial page of today's WSJ for an article written by H.R.Higgins, director of the Independent Women's Forum. She clearly makes the case that, as common for defendants in sexual harassment discoveries, the President was not ordered to reveal his private sex life. Instead the President was under court order to disclose "information regarding any individuals with whom the President has sexual relations or proposed or sought to have sexual relations and who were during the relevant time frame state or federal employees". It is extraordinarily disingenuous for Clintonites to claim the Lewinsky liaisons were a private matter between consenting adults when the legal discovery process was destroyed through perjury. I think the warnings issued by Daschle and Gephardt to Clinton about his legalisms were a shot across the bow. Congressional leaders will certainly not view the IC report as only about sex. Regarding the "$40 million" mantra, 15 people have been convicted on charges related to those matters, which are not yet closed. Six Democrats, including Senator Moynihan, sponsored the original IC investigation which could have been closed years ago with White House cooperation.Reportedly, $4 million was spent on the Lewinsky investigations resulting from the President's admitted lies and which he should repay the government. The money does not measure, of course, the damage to US prestige, the Office of the Presidency formerly held in high regard, or Paula Jones's rights. To repay that debt Clinton should resign. As a trader, you should know when to cut your losses short. And right now I think you're backing the wrong horse. (IMO, which end of the horse is patently clear.<g>)
