Okay, how about innocent until guilt is admitted as was the case with
Gennifer Flowers. Talk about sleazy.

Ya gotta wonder about what? Whether Kenneth Starr is a worm, too?
If he's a worm does that have anything to do with whether Clinton is
a worm? Sorry, but the character of the accuser has nothing to do
with the character of the accused. In Clinton's case he has already
admitted to being sleazy. As for suborning perjury I'd expect any
president or other public person to suborn perjury for his/her
personal benefit and don't really consider it that big a deal.

I'm sure you'll pardon me for saying this but that's exactly the sort
of thinking that allows barbarians to be supported by their citizens.
With that kind of thinking we can get a Hitler or a Peter the Great
or an Ayatollah Khoemini elected president and all have the pleasure
of respecting him. No thanks.
I think Jimmy Carter was a poor president but I respect him a great
deal. He is a man of principal.
