That attention span thing cuts both ways, John. At this point, the Republicans better pray for that 10 second attention span they've been counting on in Y2K. Or maybe the "you're stupid, and we're not" line will really win hearts and minds. On the moral judgement front, I'll again repeat this succinct little snippet: 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) As to Mr. Cumming's message, he can bleat out the King Clinton line all he wants. It's far from clear the charges against Clinton would stand up in court, though I'm sure the esteemed Judge Starr is already doing a little venue scouting to try and bring his case somewhere he won't have to deal with the dreaded DC jury pool. Like he did with innocent bystander Julie Steele when she wouldn't confirm the proper Starr version of the "truth" among the various Kathleen Willey stories floating around out there. Kings usually don't have 8-year term limits, and there's not much left of Clinton's. If the Republicans want to spend the next 2 years preaching their self-evident moral superiority, that's their choice.
