(Ahem)… er uh… (ahem)…After the past 13 months, Bill Clinton is almost uniformly mistrusted by the people of his country, his party, his closest associates, his friends and even his family. Whatever virtues people still see in him, veracity is not among them. -Stephanie Salter As I have said many times before… (ahem)… a president who harms a public trust is a political criminal, one who commits an impeachable offense according to Federalist #65. Bill Clinton should have been removed from office, and then tried for perjury, at the very least punished for contempt of court. Sadly, the Democrats very effectively appealed to the lack of principle in the populace and swayed the Senate to fail its country terribly. Now the Senate's failure has placed 70 percent of Americans in the very sick position of having had their children see them defending a likely rapist. LOL. Too bad for them. But good for Ms. Salter. Were I to meet her I would tell her she by no means risks being lumped (at least not by anyone who can think) in with the "likes of Kenneth Starr, Henry Hyde, the House managers, Bay Buchanan, the Heritage Foundation and every other "family values" fascist who wants to cram a narrowly prescribed morality down the throats of 250 million Americans." She instead risks being lumped in with people who have not lost all sense of rational thought, principle and morality. Politics here is really a non-issue (I could not care less if the entire Republican Party were nuked), as is a "narrowly prescribed morality". The issue, as I have long argued, is purely one of broadly prescribed decency and fundamental principle. It is too bad Ms. Salter for so long sold herself so cheaply for the pleasure of her President, like Monica receiving nothing in return for her self-abasement. It is too bad 70 percent of the country now finds itself in the unenviable position of having been defiled by Bill Clinton and the Democrat Party. But fortunately for Salter she had enough self-respect to leave her dank motel room, hopefully never to look back. Let us hope by her example other left-wing political courtesans will come to understand that Bill Clinton is not worth the price of fundamental dignity.
