English Tabloid: BILL CLINTON is a fairly prominent exception to the rule about celebrity sex revelations first espoused in this tabloid review. And things may be about to get worse with the release of his video evidence to the Starr inquiry. The tabloids had been hoping it would be released last night in time for a big splash today, but no such luck. That's no bother to the Mirror which goes ahead with the front-page headline: "Sheer Filth." That's what's in the video, you see. "The most sordid details yet" in the whole Monica Lewinsky affair. Well, maybe. Hopefully, for the sake of the Mirror's credibility. Actually, put that way... The Sun, to its credit, has got a real news update in the Lewinsky affair rather than a punt on the contents of an unseen video. Not only has it discovered a quirky piece of so-far undiscovered evidence - that Monica gave Bill a set of kneepads to make their oral sex romps a little more comfortable - but it's been chatting to another recipient of "sex-mad" Lewinsky's special talents. At the height of her affair with the Prez, the Sun says she went to a fat farm where she ended up unzipping the married owner of the institution. He, unlike Bill, willingly tells all to fill two more pages in this endless affair.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to have no such advertisements from either group, those who are for resignation and those who are not. If, indeed, the purpose of releasing the material pertaining to the case against Clinton is to allow the people of the U.S. to reach their own conclusion as to whether or not he should resign or be impeached, then they are being asked to make a call as might a jury. It would, therefore, seem inappropriate to have attempts made through media blitzes to sway that opinion. The American public is, hopefully, intelligent and educated enough to read the facts and reach a conclusion without benefit of a media circus orchestrated by partisan groups of either side. After reaching a decision, an individual could write a letter to their congressperson or the President. Such a procedure sounds almost civilized.
