Yet it does not follow that because the president dallied with Ms. Lewinsky he should have been impeached and tossed out.

I stopped reading at this point.

William the Impeached was judged for perjury and obstruction of justice. It was not about sex. Leftist tripe that does not deserve more.

Pitiful writing.

You shoulkd read the whole thing and not misjudge based just on that.

I think Buckley's point is that it was not the affair with Lewinsky that Clinton was impeached over, but the perjury, suborning of perjury, and obstruction of justice. Those things were all done in the attempt to cover up the Lewinsky relationship. Just as with Nixon, it was the cover-up that did him in. If he had come clean immediately, hsitory would have been a lot different. As for the lionizing of Felt as a hero, ugh!

Good luck on your deployment!

Sarge, I think you missed it.

Buckley is not, never will be, a purveyor of leftist tripe.

And his example of Ms. Lewinsky was put forth as the kind of thing a president should NOT be impeached for. Eeverything that fell from it, perjury, obstruction, etc., those ARE impeachable. He just didn't get around to listing them, as he was moving forward, making other points. My opinion.
