Brees, I just wanted to join with you in your disgust. It seems that any amount of defensive smearing on the part of the Clinton's is okay. Also, I have recently pointed out, Mr. Doe's standards are not very high when it comes to alleging that most presidents behave like Clinton, or that all southern Republicans are closet racists, or that Bob Barr is a nutcase, or that "Capitalists" are so rapacious that were it not for the government and labor unions, the working man would be ground into the dirt. But he becomes curiously sensitive about allegations regarding Clinton. Of course, some of these things are not allegations at all: he did obtain sexual servicing from an intern in the Oval Office, he did have some kind of an affair with Gennifer Flowers, he did lie under oath, etc. And those things which were voted down in the Senate because they supposedly did not "rise to the level of impeachable offenses" were credibly maintained as matters of fact: it is reasonable to say that he did conspire to obstruct justice, for example. To many of us, Dolly Kyle Browning and Kathleen Willey seem credible, too. But we are engaged in a mere smear campaign, and, according to our friend Doe, the Republicans are immoral to boot, being on the wrong side of tobacco and HMO reform and all. And we are hypocrites: i have not figured out if that is because we know we are cynically using these smear tactics, but won't admit it, or because we all fool around and lie under oath. Ah, well, it is sometimes so hard to scrutinize the mind of the Clintonista...
