Acceptance of a lying, perjuring, obstructing, womanizing, adultering pig in the WH is a very serious indicator of a large problem with the way our society views the nature of politics. IMO opinion we must reverse the trend of moral relativism which even makes this discussion necessary. Uh huh. So this problem we have with "alultering pigs"... where did it come from? Wasnt a problem for Roosevelt, Kennedy or Eisenhower. They were adulterers.... oh but maybe they werent pigs? Or were they? Hey! And that brings up an interesting point. We all know Kennedy was a lying, womanizing adulterer. If Kennedy was not assassinated, then are you saying the US was on the verge of becoming another Nazi Germany with respect to fascism at that time? Whoa! No wonder the Berkeley students locked themselves up in Boalt Hall! My point is I think politicians were always this way, just egomaniacs primarily, no more or less moral than anybody else. I dont know if you are naive or what. Babies have babies. Babies murdering other babies. God what a nut you are. Excuse me but babies have always had babies. The difference is, we used to ship them away to "schools for wayward girls" and the like. Think that was a good idea? Dont answer that. Materialism over spiritualism. Oh yeah that spiritualism. No one that questions conventional religion can ever be spiritual right? I think we should go back to the Church of England.... now there was a church! Whenever a teenage girl gets pregnant - off with her head! If you dont know that Churches today and the RR are simply political organizations then I suggest you go back to watching your televangelist telethon - and dont forget to mail in that check!

First, the reference to Caligula (partly facetious) is to Caligula's reputed, shall we say unorthodox, sexual mores. If you had seen one of the many documentaries on Caligula (one of which I am familiar with, shown on A&Es "ruthless dictators" week - I think) you would know that Caligulas sexual mores are such a minor part of his bloody leadership that this type of facetious reference made as a reference to Clinton would be misunderstood by almost anyone. This is like comparing some leader to Hitler because they look alike. Caligula was a mass murderer, and torturer.
