That is quite a different story from what we are witnessing today with President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. There are tapes, gifts, and possibly a dress stained with the President's DNA as evidence. The President has lied to the American people and has possibly perjured himself under oath. It has taken the President seven months to admit that he did anything improper and he has yet to ask for our forgiveness. President Harding and his Administration have been characterized as the most scandalist in history.
Lets take a look at the Harding scandals.
There was the Veteran's Bureau Scandal where Director Charles Forbes disobeyed the President's order that competitive biding be used to construct twelve new Veteran's Hospitals. Forbes made deals with certain contractors and received kickbacks as a reward. Forbes also received kickbacks from the sale of excess hospital supplies. When enough evidence of wrong doing was presented to President Harding, he summoned Forbes to the White House and fired him in January of 1923. At the time of Forbes's terminiaton, it was not clear that he had committed any criminal acts.
