Well Borzou, you may be right. And as you know we have had these discussions before. I however, will never accept as normal and decent a President who uses interns for sexual pleasures during the work-day, then lies about it under oath as a standard for future Presidents to emulate. Ignoring the behavior is akin to accepting the behavior. What next? What should we ignore next and say it really doesn't matter are mutual funds are up? How about running a porno ring out of the Oval office, would that be ok? Or better yet, how about running a male prostitution ring out of the west wing? Would that be alright too? The kind of message this behavior is sending to America's children is sad, very sad. It's ok son, lie under oath, cheat on mom, and treat and use your interns like sex slaves. It's ok, because it's only about sex and after all our mutual funds are up. Ghandi once said. "You cannot be one person in one way of life, and another in a different way of life. A person is one indivisible whole" Anyone who believes otherwise is fooling themselves. Michael

Politicians on politicians (note how Reagan echoes Truman): When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer "Present" or "Not guilty." —Theodore Roosevelt Politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians. —Charles de Gaulle There exists no politician in India daring enough to attempt to explain to the masses that cows can be eaten. —Indira Gandhi Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river. —Nikita Khrushchev Being in politics is like coaching football. You have to be smart enough to understand the game and dumb enough to think it's important. —Eugene J. McCarthy My choice early in life was either to be a piano-player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference. —Harry S. Truman Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. —Ronald Reagan And a few comments from outside observers: Now and then an innocent man is sent to the legislature. —Kin Hubbard The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it. —P. J. O'Rourke
