I agree Mike. Believe it or not, the affair between Kaiser Wilhelm Von 
Klinton and the nymphette Monica Lewinsky is actually a matter between Von 
Klinton and Brunhillary. What he does behind closed doors in the sexual 
arena, IDEALLY should be his business. However, since he is the President 
and therefore the Commander In Chief, he has to set the example.
How can one justify the Senior NCOs now languishing in Leavenworth for 
behavior that is similar if not identical to that of their CIC? What about 
Lt. Kelly Flynn? And more importantly, WHERE is Patricial Ireland during 
all this?
I seriously doubt that Gore would pardon Klinton. For if he did, the GOP 
would have a ready made issue for the 2000 campaign. 
To put the issue at hand in clear focus, and to paraphrase the Klinton's 92 
slogan, "It's the issue of Perjury stupid!"
