Zeev,

My displeasure of Clinton is not blinding me. I often ask my business partner if we had a vice president in our company who committed the same acts in our office with a subordinate, and then swore to us that it wasn't true, what he'd want to do. He'd be out in a heart beat. I believe that the standard for a president should be as high if not higher than that of corporate America, the military, and academia.

As to comparing perjury in a grand jury to misinformation on a tax statement, I don't feel their equal. Clinton cheated on his taxes and that was never brought forward as potentially impeachable. Since I'm looking for people of impeccable character to lead the country, I just might say I'd like even that to be impeachable...

If we raise the bar and subject new public officials to the same standard, all the better. Maybe we won't get another Kennedy, Nixon, or Clinton.

I have a newborn son and want him to have amazing roll models. Definitely not the caliper of Clinton.
