<< And by what stretch of imagination can you say that there was "callous" treatment of Ms. Lewinsky?>> Clinton treated her as a tool to obtain gratification. Her pleasure was never at issue - all contact between them was for his pleasure. To me, that is callous behavior. I doubt the feminists out there would approve either. Women are not objects put on earth for men's sexual gratification. They should be treated with respect and dignity, neither of which could be used to describe Clinton's treatment of Monica. <<"Respect for women" doesn't mean that men should stop having sex with women! >> It does if the woman is not the man's wife - otherwise he is showing an amazing lack of respect for his wife. I am not referring to Clinton here - if a man and his wife are both okay with this behavior, my comment is not applicable, and at least to some degree, I think Hillary either approved of or accepted the behavior. However, I doubt that would be the case for most instances of adultery. <<And lying from under a veneer of morality is the absolute worst of them all>> Agreed. However, both parties have been guilty of this (and will be again), so I still object to your outrage only being directed at the one side.
