That vast majority of the country has made it clear that they really don't care.

That's one interpretation, brees. I'll recycle another interpretation:

So on one side we have the physical and ethical gropings of Bill Clinton. But on the other are the hidden tape recorders and pornographic inquiries of Ken Starr. What most people decided this year is that if those are our choices, then Clinton at his most unbuckled and slippery is still less a threat to American values than Starr. They decided that Starr's questions are worse than Clinton's lies. That's a moral judgment too. (http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/time/1998/12/21/right.html)

I can't say I don't care, really. James Bowers, who I respect, but who I guarantee doesn't agree much with my personal politics (exept on civil liberties), may or may not care what happens to Clinton, but I'd guess he agrees somewhat with the above sentiments. What most people don't care about, I'd guess, is a bunch of moral reformationists and political hygienists handicapped by a lot of heavy timber in the eye. In a two party system, our choices are limited.
