Degradation? President William Jefferson Clinton got multiple BJs from a White House intern WHILE executing his official obligations to this country. In one case he got one from under his desk while he was on the phone talking to a US Congressman about troop deployments in Europe
That woman, Hillary Clinton, led a strike team to vilify the intern and any other of the near-dozen women that had been accosted by this "President". She, Clinton and the media went on to try and convince the majority of the people here that a BJ was 'not' sex. He lied to a grand jury! 400 so-called Constitutional Scholars took out a full page ad in the NYT in 1998 effectively attesting that his actions "did not rise to the level of high crime or misdemeanor." And on and on and on and on.
Yet this quisling NYT ghoul says "significant degradation?" Not even hardly. That train already got to the station. To assert as fact conduct not even executed is duplicitous and the article is patently absurd.
Other people are getting jaded and just plain sick of it.
