Good to see you continuing to enjoy your smug moral superiority, Bob. Thank you. Clinton is the antichrist, whatever it takes to bring him down is fair. Do you really think so? Boy I sure don't. I really don't believe that, if there is such a thing as an antichrist, he's it. And I don't believe that "whatever it takes to bring him down is fair." However, I do believe that prosecuting him for violating his sworn oath to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" is not only fair, but clearly the only right thing to do. After the trial fizzles, what's next, Bob? I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the trial fizzling. Do you mean after Clinton gets away with committing at least one felony while president? I'm still not completely convinced that this is going to happen, but if it does, we've just lost a big chunk of freedom. Personally I intend to hang around and see if we come to our senses and at least popularize the earth-shattering notion that what Clinton did was wrong and will not be allowed. But I really don't see that happening. His partisans are most likely going to continue to defend him and enable him right up to the point that they establish unequivocally that the President can do whatever the hell he wants and anyone who says otherwise is a blind, partisan _____-hater. That's when I emigrate. Think Monica talking to Barbara Walters is going to make Starr look better? I don't even care. Starr's a big boy, he should be able to take care of himself. Of course, Starr can always drag her back to the inquisition's chambers if she says something that's inconsistent with his carefully constructed version of the "truth". On a television show? I seriously doubt it. If she were to say something that he felt justified it, I guess he could sue her for slander, but I don't see much chance of that happening. -BLT
