Imagine that, a president of the United States lied to the American people. Tried to hide a sordid and embarrassing sexual liaison and split hairs to beat the band in trying to cover it all up. The shame of it all, the lack of moral leadership. The man is not fit to be president.
It reminds me of Claude Rains in Casablanca who is "shocked, just shocked to learn that there is gambling going on in this establishment." If I didn't know any better I would think I had stumbled upon a bulletin board of cloistered nuns.

Well, first of all, it would be easier to name presidents who did not have extramarital affairs, than to name those who did. I would guess that congress as a whole stands in much the same position (no pun). The only reason most of them haven't lied is that they haven't been questioned.

I live in New York State. Our junior Senator is Alphonse D'Amato. No one has been involved in more shady dealings or has been more crassly opportunistic than he. I will vote for his opponent and D'Amato may lose. But if he doesn't, if he wins that is O.K. too. The people will have spoken and their decision is
final. Short of doing a driveby in downtown Brooklyn, he will be our senator for another six years. This is the way it should be.

I suggest that everyone here turn off their computers, grab a bite to eat, and watch the playoffs (Yanks/Rangers 8:00PM NBC). I know I will.
