And what Bill did with Monica was not, in his opinion, "having sex".

This is an interesting point here. There are a lot of young people in
this country that enjoy each others company in that manner, and they do
not consider it sex. In fact they consider themselves virgins as long as
they don't do it in the traditional manner.

And *in their opinions*, they're right!

Uh huh.

You forget where I work.

There's an awful lot of young people who get treated for various sexually
transmitted diseases who, in the same words of our former Commander-in-Chief,
"weren't having sex".

Uh huh.

That's why I have 14, 15 and 16 year olds in the ER with herpes lesions in
places where they shouldn't be...but are. "But we didn't have "sex"...it was
just a B---j--." How can you tell kids otherwise about sex when they see thier
parents essentially condoning those same acts by the President of the United
States by NOT demanding his resignation?

And the kids these days think THEY have it bad! hehehe

*Every* generation thinks they invented it...

Probably, but then it's up to the preceeding geneeration to clan up the
mess.

- The *correct* way to dispose of a US Flag is to burn it.

Ahhhhhhh....Jim, why don't you qualify that with "in an honorable and
respectful manner as prescribed by Public Law"...?!?!

Putting a match to Old Glory in order to make some ill defined political
point is not "properly disposing" of the flag.

I think that the videos of the people leaving Saigon were one of the low
points of US history.

And that happened under whose administration?

What does it matter, Jim?

It was what the American people (or at least the most VOCAL Americans)
demanded thier government do. They demanded it from the Democrat that got them
inot it, and they demanded it from the Republican who eventually DID get us out
of it.

We can argue the reasons or the methodology that Lyndon Johnson used to
get us into it until the cows come home, but to have not prosecuted it to win
was the REAL tragedy. 50K+ Americans dead...for what? Hundreds of thousands,
if not millions, of Vietnamese on both sides dead, too.

Who, me?

Is Alfred E. Neuman ghostwriting today, Jim...?!?! =0

I didn't write that. Clinton was not a great president, but he was
light-years ahead of Nixon.

Sorry Jim...but we have to take a BIG difference of opinon here.

The Watergate scandal was nothing compared to the utter disprespect and
dishonor Bill Clinton and his spouse brought to the White House.

Clinton lied about the LEGAL things he did before he ran for office.
(Protesting against the war.) When he was caught, that SHOULD have been a clue
to the rest of the country of what was about to come.

Hillary was supposed to set "healthcare" straight in this country.

All she did was spend a lot of the taxpayers money, sent the industry
running for cover and gave Bill some pretty graphics in the form of a prototype
"national health card" to flash at his first "State of the Union" address.
That was the end of "National Health Care" for seven more years. She did not
do one single thing to improve health care in the United States.

Nothing.

Hillary tore up the White House travel office, creating hate and
discontent that did absolutely nothing to improve efficiency, cut costs or
otherwise enhance the office.

They lied about White Water. He lied about his mistresses.

And on thier way out the door in 2001, they tried to STEAL things that
they had been clearly told were NOT thiers for the taking.

Nixon lied about Watergate and the subsequent coverup, but the man had the
intestinal fortitude, no matter how disgraced he was, to see what the results
were doing the country, and he got out of the way. THAT took guts.

He was also the last president to have a balanced budget and opened the
doors to China. He set in motion the wheels that Ronald Reagan would
eventually use to grind the Soviet Union to a pulp.

Because he cheated on his wife? Heck, look at what ol' Newt did to *his*
first wife.

But there was a difference, Jim. He's Republican. He was framed or
there was an invasion of privacy or something!

Do you know what he did to his first wife?

Did it involve leather, Kool-whip and handcuffs? Was there video? Was it
overheard and recorded by a scanner enthusiast?

Don't forget that the whole thing opened up when a "nice" republican
lady that Monica thought was a friend went to the people that so badly
wanted to discredit him. So she didn't keep the indiscretion discreet.

Kinda dumb on Monica's part, don't ya think?

Yep. But who could "do" the president and not say SOMETHING to someone?

Who could "do" any famous person and not...?!?! If my oft repeated
mid-life fantasy about a certain pop-diva ever did come true, you can bet your
bottom dollar SOMEONE would know about it!

I would further say "someone I could trust". In my life there's only been
TWO people I could invest that kind of secret to, and one of them certainly
would NOT be pleased!

Two interesting things here.

This person is *surprised* that no one wants to hire her?

Actually, given the way things often go in Washington, it *is* a bit
surprising.

I wouldn't.

She was given what the other person thought was a private exchange between
friends. She (Linda) violated it. True, what she did was "legal", and may or
may not have been in the best interests of the United States, but could YOU
HONESTLY confide in Ms. Tripp...?!?

My best friend and I have exchanged confidences that have never gone any
farther than our own ears...Because he IS my friend I feel I can tell him
things I wouldn't tell anyone else and vice versa. And I imagine that's
exactly what Monica expected when she told Linda Tripp about scoring some
presidential bootie. However Linda was an opportunist and she saw her
opportunity.

So much for friends...At least in Washington.
