Some of the allusions came early in the Lewinsky scandal. What a wonderful description of this. With a President vowing to stay and fight, and others nakedly embarking on a campaign to get him, the President's poll numbers are softening, the party lines are hardening.
Nothing breaks through.
It all ends up sounding the same. And when a certain Congressman from Florida said during the debate Saturday, 'have you no sense of decency, sir,' using the same quote as what ended, in a lot of people's minds the McCarthy era, it didn't get through because it wasn't heard because it was at the same volume as everything else. Clinton's behavior is disgraceful, but there's McCarthyism run amok with some of this stuff. Just as fifty years ago, guilt or innocence is not the issue. Preventing answers to questions is.
