> Can you name a corporation or business that an individual could do what Clinton did with Monica and still hold his or her position, or better yet even keep his or her job? Here in Silicon Valley, Larry Ellison has the reputation for doing this kind of thing, and has quietly settled harrasment lawsuits. So have virtually all the major figures in Hollywood. Some of them have actually been caught in public or semi-public situations. All of them still have their jobs. Bill Gates has been reported (fairly accurately) as being a customer of call girls in LA. Still has his job. And his wife. Nobody's suggested firing Barry Diller or Bob Geffen for being gay and occasionally promiscuous. Trump keeps on building. Has finally reached the point where he just won't get married anymore because he knows he's going to want to cheat. Hasn't been fired yet. Bottom line to me is that Clinton may in fact be a pretty accurate image of the typical CEO, with one difference: CEOs typically don't have special prosecutors with unlimited budgets digging into their affairs. Not that this is necessarily good, but I don't live in a dream world which presumes that such things don't happen all the time. mg

Hank, I certainly agree that Clinton is a jerk, just happens that my opinions of the Republicans is in the same category. How about they all resign, we have new elections, and start over.
