Bilow, I agree with that sentiment. Sometimes I let my nature get the better of me. The SAT score thing was just too much to pass up. :-) Excellent letter, but it seems to me no crime will diswade the Clinton zealots. They have convinced themselves that their future rests on his leadership. It's really a sad state with all the decent Democratic candidates out there, that they have chosen this one to lead them. They must be pretty desperate for money to continue to support this morally bankrupt administration. Selling their values for campaign contributions is pretty pathetic stuff. I wonder how many seats they are willing to give up in the House and Senate before they recognize it might have something to do with Bill? For Republicans it's actually good that he stay on. Unfortunately it's not good for America. Michael

.<<Sure, dougjn called me "dense", for rebutting his ironic racist commentary>> I called you "dense" (which under the circumstances was pretty mild) after you called me a racist. I did so because you misread a bit of irony and sarcasm as racist when its obvious meaning was the reverse. It's obvious meaning was that the racial progress advanced by Kennedy, Johnson and even Clinton was far more important than the relatively trivial matters of their womanizing. And that blacks had it exactly right to think so. As opposed to the absurdly disproportionate emphasis the religious right is putting on Clinton's sex lies after he was cornered. I was clearly parodying the narrow minded moralizing point of view that might actually think the sexual sins vastly more important than advancing civil rights. (You apparently read that parody as a perfectly reasonable position.) Yes, I think responding that you were being "dense" when you flat out called me a racist -- as a result of a very tin eared misreading of a prior post of mine -- was mild indeed. Doug
