Ladies and gents, I do believe it's snowing in the lower reaches of Dante's Inferno.

A sweepingly negative column about Bill Clinton on the editorial pages of the Boston Globe?

Sure they couldn't resist taking a snipe at the GOP & Newt but in the final analysis the Boston Globe writer BLAMES Clinton:

"And yet, whichever way one slices it, the root cause of that politically debilitating scandal was the mind-numbing lack of self-discipline on the part of a man who gambled his future for a dalliance with an intern less than half his age.

In musing about how history will treat him, Clinton and his advisers have noted that he wasn't confronted with the sort of grave foreign-policy crisis whose successful resolution defines presidents as great in history's gaze.

But in retrospect, Bill Clinton did face a dangerous foreign adversary. He was president when Al Qaeda went global and started to make the United States the target of its terrorism.

That was one of the principal international challenges of the last decade - and it's far more our misfortune than his that Bill Clinton didn't do more to meet it."

This is truly amazing......coming from the ultra liberal Boston Globe. BTW a better title whould have been: "While Clinton Fiddled (with Monica)" but perhaps I ask too much......LOL

If there were no other reason that X42's perversion fit the mold of "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" then this one is sufficient. Had X42 bothered to use the Presidency to serve the American People rather than himself, George W. Bush might still be facing articles about whether he is the legitimate president.

(Of course, I believe that President Bush would gladly give up his current approval rating to have the WTC back with all those who worked in it alive and well. But that's beside the point.)

It's Character, Stupid!

Shalom.
