The people used to know them because of the party system. In parliamentary systems they know that. These are people they worked with as they go up the parliamentary ladder. And you should only care about character, it seems to me, when it enters the public realm. For instance, womanizing, if it comes to the point where a Clinton is lying to his staff, using his staff, lying to the public, then it's no longer a private vice, it's a public vice.
Public virtue is involved.
Well, you know, Clinton lost the governorship and he kind of lost a brother to drugs. Those men couldn't be more different. So it seems to me that is not really useful information. I never said Michael Dukakis would be a great president. That's really a falsification.
