I posted this to say that defense of clinton, which Nathan is being pestered with, has nothing what-so-ever to do with the issue, in my view. The new budget is more conservative than anything Ronald Reagan even dreamed about, so I would count myself as second to none in anti-clintonism.
I don't even disagree that the departure of Clinton from office per se would be much of a setback for anyone. But it seems to me that forced removal under the pressure of the machinations of the G.O.P. is a world removed from an outcome where Clinton's guilt was investigated and assessed in any kind of neutral manner.
The real issue is tyranny of a legislative majority (not backed, incidentally, by even an electoral majority), acting thru Special Persecutor K. Starr.
Whatever relative shades of victimization and bimbo-ismo can be ascribed to Willey, Monica, et al. is regrettable but secondary. In war there are casualties, first among them the luxury of moral absolutism.
