Sorry to burst your bubble Ann, but Clinton's legacy is spread all over the internet already. His will be the most studied presidency ever by sophomoric teenage boys as they get their private giggles over decades to come, reading the Starr report, for their US Gov't elective assignments in high schools across the nation. Censure is in the mind of the beholder. It won't cut the muster now. There will be either resignation or an impeachment trial. Its my gut that some partisans see the target date of Jan 21st as being in their best interest for either results.

<<IMO, strong punishment in the form of censure will teach Pres. Clinton that the only way to improve his future image in the History books is to make the last 2 yrs of his Adm. nothing less than spectacular>> I agree, although I'm not sure what form an adequate censure would take. Make me an offer<g>. I am absolutely NOT a Clinton supporter, but I do think that continuity of government is important, and shouldn't be interrupted without adequate cause. I'm not convinced this scandal is adequate. The jury is still out. <<It's sad but true that many foreign heads of state in all probability respect Pres. Clinton more as a man(unfortunately, women's rights have not yet fully developed in many parts of the globe)since his sexual piccadilloes have been exposed.>> Could be - but do they trust his word enough to make treaties with him? Will they believe him when he says he will commit our forces to their protection? If you were Israel, would you stake your existence on Clinton's word? How about the Iraqi inspection issue - if you were one of our U.N. allies, how would you feel about the U.S. subverting the process because we didn't want to force a showdown with Iraq? Can a President that has shown the world that he can't be trusted still be a world leader? Okay, Castro may want to have him over for a cigar <vbg>.
