Re resp:78: So basically, you assume that Clinton would have done 
anything to protect his personal life, but give Bush the benefit of the 
doubt by suggesting he might have good reasons for doing what he's 
done.  Your partisanship is showing. 
 
Actually, the partisanship and hypocrisy in this whole issue is kind of 
disgusting.  Clinton was subjected to a long, multi-million-dollar 
fishing expedition by a political party that was desperate to destroy 
him.  No allegation was too minor for them.  They investigated a 20 
year old failed land deal.  They probed his private life.  They 
listened to 140 hours of testimony about his Christmas card list.  They 
conducted a Congressional investigation of his pet cat's fan club.  
They picked that administration apart, top to bottom, and at the end of 
it all they could come up with was that he'd gotten a blow job. 
 
Now the same party is showing a marked lack of interest in 
investigating serious allegations of wrongdoing by Bush.  The same 
people who castigated Clinton for getting a blow job are making excuses 
for our current President.  I kind of expected more from the party that 
claims to represent morality and transparent government.
