If you can't see the difference then you are choosing not to.  That's 
fine, but if so let's stop here because you're position in entrenched
and I do see a difference.

It could be that Laura is sick of living in a fish bowl, she's tired of 
his snoring or doesn't like who he's become while in office.  Who 
knows... and until there's some real evidence of something more, then 
it's none of our business...or are you suggesting that you have the 
right to snoop in their bedroom?


If GWB starts to lie under oath, then I'll start to care... and I don't 
care if it's about sex or not.

If something comes out to substantiate that, then by all means
sink your teeth into him the same way the right did to Clinton.
Actually, I have no doubt the left would be even more vicious.
However... it would be proper to wait until you have more than a rumor.

I don't know. I'm guessing they'd probably be much more critical than 
the left, who would have turned a blind eye to anything Clinton did.
Or...they could ultimately talk about forgiveness, but probably only an 
act of contrition and someone asking for forgiveness.
