History will deal with the Clintons and it won't be pretty. While I'd like to see them get theirs, I don't believe that it was Bush's responsibility to do this, especially not within the first year of his term of office. I remember how most of us were appalled when the first thing Clinton did after taking office was issuing his "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" rule. How would it have looked (especially after the recount fiasco & Supreme Court battle) for Bush to pursue the Clinton's shortly after he took office? I would hate to think how the press would have portrayed that. Part of the reason Bush is so popular is because he isn't like the Clintons...vindictive. People can see the difference between them. The Senate had the opportunity to convict Clinton and get rid of him. They failed to do their Constitutional duty. I think you have more of an argument with them than you do President Bush on this issue.

No doubt about it.

But I still won't be forgetting stacks of porn, printed at taxpayer expense, being left in printers for the next administration, graffitti on the walls of America's house...everything they stood for, those Clinton people, symbolized more by THAT set of actions than anything else they did. Selling us out to China, trying to steal the elections...most of that stuff is very complicated, but vandalizing the White House on their way out was a pretty simple act of contempt for all of us.

Totally agree with you on that point. However, I am not so sure that History will deal with the Clintons. History is being rewritten, and the Impeachment is being trivialized.
