Mighty interesting, sort of like walking by a house every day of your life and one day the smell is so over powering that you have to hold your nose or vomit. Now the Bush people are saying if it hadn't been for the House Impeachment Managers that Gore would be President-elect come November 7. They are the House impeachment managers. Barnes says that conservatives were not only right but politically smart to press the case against the disgraced Democrat. If they had winked at Clinton's wrongdoing, as polls suggested they should, and settled for a bland censure of the president, the overriding Clinton factor would never have emerged.
History can be a real hard task master.
History is going to make the U.S. Senate during this miserable time look as corrupt as the President they let off the hook. Arlen Specter and the rest of the Senate make the Roman Senate look like Mother Thersa on a pilgrimage. The Senators didn't do their duty, they igrnored the evidence and in so doing have done irreparable harm to the Rule of Law, to the Senate of the United States, and to any trust left over after the nightmare of the Clinton years. But that nightmare could have been dealt with, the Congress of the United States could have done its duty and instead betrayed the American people and the Constitution. These men and women are the whitened sepulchres of New Testament fame.
