"That's fine. In the UK it's the tabloids that do it and to the chagrin of very many." Yes, to the chagrin of the moral laggards that get caught with their pants down. "In the US, however, it has been an officially sanctioned investigation." So the government polices itself instead of the press for once. That's a plus in my book. The sex scandal aspect was just fortuitous but it helped to justify the enormous expenditure involved." If Clinton would have told the truth about his misconduct upfront there would have been no need for the so-called "enormous expenditure." There is no one to blame but billy boy himself for this expense. "What I'm saying is that the stink should have and could have been avoided." No. Stink needs to be aired out and gotten rid of. "There should have been other procedures to deal with the matter." Given that Clinton makes such a lurid spectacle of himself and survives in office, I agree. But better this than letting him ply the excesses of a Caesar with impunity. "That, to me, is more of a lesson for one's children than the possibility that Bill Clinton lied under oath (which, in fact, he may not have done)..." May not have done? Ha, ha, ha. "Everyone lies --- it's no big deal..." That's a sorry standard to live by.
