Tripp taping Lewinsky....

I've never said Tripp was a person of completely sterling character.

That said, I am saying that she is leagues ABOVE a Mark Felt in character, even if some of her acts were questionable.

I've never met, or even spoken with, either of them, and I don't know their families or their friends, so I'd say I'm not really in a position to judge their character, or to rank one above the other.

But I do know that taping private conversations with your friends - conversations that you prompt - and then turning the tapes over to the authorities is something less than 'dignified.'

The difference is that Tripp was protecting her life; Felt was not.
