Daniel - in your last sentence, you answered your own question with the exception that Clinton's "personal moral failings" are just one representation of the man's lack of character.

In matters of state, that lack of core character shows through in his vacillation in whichever direction he thinks will offer him continued exercise of his and his party's power. He is not a leader with a vision or a clear goal; he is a follower of polls precisely because he is without a strong moral compass on which to seek the kind of guidance many great leaders have possessed.

Why is it you cannot defend the man from an intellectual or philosophic stance without resorting to the jejune, diversionary White House talking-points spin about past administrations?

Your now ubiquitous snide finales are annoyingly trite.

Mr. K.

You can't tell the difference between a policy you disagree with and a law. The fact that democrats ran up $500 bill in S&L bailout debt or Reagan's Granada triumph or Bush's success in the Gulf war have really nothing to do with Clinton's law breaking.

Perjury is perjury. What JLA is saying is that if he skates, why have a perjury law at all?
