When I asked him why, he answer made me think.
"We're knocking him down, but after awhile, its going to start to look like bullying and then people are going to start feeling sorry for him and we're going to start looking bad".
His example was that it happened with Bill Clinton. Its a bad example, but it did make think about it.
What happened with Caligula was that the MSM actually chastized itself for going to hard on him and focused on "what his family was being put through" (never mind that he brought it all on himself by cheating on his wife and then lying under oath about it). The sympathy bounce that Clinton got was completely media-generated. They can do that, y'know.
The only thing that happened with Bill Clinton is that the economy was humming, and most ppl decided a hummer wasn't reason enough to upset the apple cart.
Unfortunately, the difference with Clinton was that he remained in the 50s and even 60s during Monica-gate.
