That's Bakayaroo. It's a Japanese word. Look it up and then apply
it to yourself.

Nice try at changing the point Doc. I never mentioned the Clinton 
campaign, nor did I did I infer much in the way of partisanship
when talking about the Bank Scandal other than to compare it to
Sununu's hardships (whose activities were also determined to be 
legal BTW) and to indicate that it was having an impact on those
Congressmen who initiated a lot of this bogus fault-finding in 
the first place. Bill ran his campaign admirably, Bush and many in
Congress did not.

Since you seem to be *greatly* missing the point to all my
previous responses I will explain it to you very carefully (you may
want to take notes...): I am disgusted with the behavior of both
parties in this country. The House Banking Scandal was rinky-dink    
compared with other abuses but it was a powerful *symbol* of what
is wrong with Congress because the average person can relate to 
overdrawing their bank account and knows that they could never
get away with it. House and Senate Democrats have attempted
to set up a system which punishes people for the appearance of
impropriety and then when they find themselves accused of questionable
practices they try to stonewall the investigation. I'm not defending
Republicans here. There seems to be more than enough blame and 
hypocrisy to go around. Is this clear enough for you?

In case you missed it, the special investigator into the House Banking
affair now claims that the Speaker of the House was not telling the
truth when he claimed that no public monies were involved in the
running of the House Bank. Your view of the affair may be in for 
a revision.
