Sigh. I don't think anyone has defended Clinton's behavior with regard to Ms. Lewinsky. Not even Clinton has defended it. He's a cad. We all know that. We all knew that in 1992 when he was first elected. The point is, the vast majority of Americans believe that such actions should be relegated to the realm of the private. And they resent Starr and the Republicans for bringing it into the public. I happen to believe that a public official having sexual relations with a public employee in a public building becomes a public matter. But I and the vast majority of the people don't think the matter needed to be drawn out in such excruciating detail, that it was gratuitous. I agree that Clinton committed perjury and tried to cover up that perjury. But I and the vast majority of the people believe that such actions do not constitute an impeachable offense.

It is not just the Democrats supporting the President, dude! It is also the people. And talking about your bogeyman of sexual harassment, rest assured that the people would have thrown out Clinton if it was indeed the case that he sexually harassed Ms. Lewinsky. As it turned out, she is an adult who came on to Clinton by herself, and once that is the case, the people think (and rightly so) that it is none of their goddamn business! And that has left only a few mad Republicans with a craving for the smell of pubic hair to remain interested in the matter for so long! Dipy.
