The whole sordid sex scandal reeks of hypocrisy. They are also reflected in bourgeois personal relations, especially at the tops of society. Human relations are reduced to dollar terms. On Wall Street, the epitome of American capitalism, where bonuses are bigger than the national debt, sexual intimidation and harassment by male brokers against clerical workers is widespread. The whole thing stinks.
Bourgeois morality is in complete crisis.
In an endless saga, the Democrats, in order to draw fire from the conduct of the President, have leaked personal details on the sordid private lives of Republican leaders. Relations within the ruling circles have become extremely bitter. The aim has become to inflict the maximum damage on their political opponents. Clinton is at the receiving end, but he is a very slick operator. He has repeatedly lied through his teeth under oath, and then changed his story to suit his objectives.
