Next, you simply assume Clinton DID lie under oath. No such thing has ever been proven despite a monumental effort to do so. So perhaps you think you can succeed when much more qualified people have failed, but I don't share your optimism. The legal case against Clinton failed. The political case against Clinton failed. The popular opinion case against Clinton failed. Perhaps in your own mind you succeeded, but I doubt you had a high opinion of Clinton to lose in the first place. Furthermore the price for those failures was equivalent of wiping your arse with the US Constitution. Congratulations.

Many things failed during this process, not the least of which was our legal system. When our president can lie on national television AND in the courtroom, and not get punished in any way (in fact, in the long run he profited from the affair) it's safe to say that our legal system has failed utterly.

It's already been explained to you how Clinton didn't commit perjury. Since he didn't commit perjury, he should never have been pushished for it, so the legal system worked just as it should. You would rather see an innocent man convicted just because you dislike him. As such you have little regard for our legal system, but hardly for the reasons you claim, and you reinforce that with each post.

It's apparent that you hold the Presidency in lower regard than many of us, and that you are happy to game the system so that it's perfectly fine for lecherous old married men to pound on sweet young employees in the Oval Office. The halls of power have always been filled with such men, enabled by folks like you -- but I had hoped that we had moved beyond such things, driven (not surprisingly) by the women's movement over the past 100 years.

In the end, the greatest irony of this whole thing is the deafening silence emanating from the descendents of that same women's movement in the face of Clinton's sexual abuse of a subordinate in the workplace -- precisely what that movement has spent many decades fighting against. Stranger still how many of these same women would later become supporters of Clinton's cuckolded wife in her run for the presidency -- this the same humiliated wife who behaved in precisely the same meek, door-mat style that the women's movement has advocated against.

I find it rather funny how you regard the chubby intern. First she was "cute", now it's "sweet". Obviously you view young women as just an object of your own desire and yet you want to preach women's rights in the same breath. You've been told numerous times that Lewinsky was no victim, yet you refuse to believe it despite the overwhelming evidence presented publically for months. So what's the reason for this? Ignorance can not explain it anymore. It's either rampant stupidity or perhaps you have one or two fantasies in which you just can't quite let go. I'm beginning to suspect the latter. You are more like Clinton than you realize, but you just don't have the charisma to act on your urges, and perhaps that's what bothers you the most.
