We are in the hands of a gaggle of hypocritical moral pygmies, out of touch, out of sync, with nearly every one of them lying about the motives behind their actions. Day after day, Democrats rise to defend the president, defend him against removal from office, at any rate. One of them, a Florida oaf with a tie, actually seemed to argue that Clinton should be ousted because though he admitted touching Monica Lewinsky, he had not specified how many times, or where. So it will almost certainly come to pass that Monica will be brought forth to tell her dreary story again, so that the world s greatest deliberative body, and perhaps a nationally televised TV audience, can hear how the President ejaculated in her mouth and on her dress and in the sink. Who will be watching is not clear.
Every poll indicates the public had enough long ago.
They know all this, and think Clinton is a disappointing sleaze. They would prefer to try and slog though the next two years. Which makes sense. That is, unless you are from Washingtonland, where little that happens in that dreadful backwater called the world can ever penetrate. Boris Yeltsin is clearly dying, now, even as Russia is fragmenting and falling apart, awash in crime and pollution, without the shadow of a moral compass.
