My hometown newspaper, The Hartford Courant today joined the growing chorus of opinion, seeking the President's resignation. What I found particularly interesting was the comparison of Mr. Clinton's connived deception of the people, to statements made during Watergate, arguing that it, [Watergate] "was only about a two-bit burglary." To further quote The Courant "Leon Jaworski, the Watergate special prosecutor, said after Mr. Nixon's resignation in 1974, "What sank him was his lying." Indeed, some of the words used in the first article of impeachment voted by the House Judiciary Committee have resonance today. Mr Nixon was charged with, among other things: "making or causing to be made false or misleading statements, for the purpose of deceiving the people of the United States..."" The most recent polls have the number of Americans who now feel the President should consider resigning at 46%, up 15% from a month ago, and almost a perfect inverse correlation to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The people's patience is waning, and during the forthcoming weeks, the moral fiber of the country is about to gauged and put on display for all the world to see. The Teflon coating of this administration has begun to seriously erode, and it's future is questionable at best.
