When the Bill and Monica deal went down (sorry), I was outraged and righteous about the whole thing. Bdarg and I argued endlessly about his guilt or innocence. When he came on TV apologizing, I jumped up on the bed and did a victory dance, as in "I was right- he did it! Na na na na boo boo!"

Now, all I can think of is, did all that really matter? As a country, we have so many more serious things to worry about than Bill's sex life. The jokes are tired, the current problems are real.
Exactly. Well, somewhat. I still have a problem with him lying under oath, and lying to us, the public, as he waved that finger, as he sat next to his wife, saying that he did not have sexual relations with that lady, Ms Lewinski. If he will lie about unimportant things, it makes me wonder what big stuff he will lie about. The entire event also took everyone's attention away from Pres. Clinton sending in troops to attack Iraq. :doh: Funny how everyone forgot about that. Not much different than everyone forgetting that we forgot about Osama Bin Laden after we went into Iraq. Nice distraction.

Forget about Monica and Bill or any of the other girls he was reported to be screwing at the time. What about the idea of Bill selling tickets to the Lincoln Bedroom, and weapons intelligence to Communist China? Gas prices were lower, taxes were higher, stock market was booming, etc. However, I'm not convinced that the aforementioned are directly controlled by the US President. Being the leader of one of the most powerful countries in the world should come with some sense of loyalty, ethics and morals, and frankly, I don't see much of that in any of today's candidates running for that office.

I doubt we will see someone fitting my ideal of a President anytime in the near future. They are all puppets anyway, whose strings are being pulled by big business. The Congress and Senate are not much different. :cry:

You summed it up right there. We don't have a goverment by the people, for the people any longer. Welcome to corporate America!
 
Interesting point about Corp. Government.
They say the Science fiction of today is the reality of tomorrow...
Ever notice how so many movies that take place in the future show
the controlling authority to be a Company/corporation rather than elected government?

Hmmmmmm
advance programming?

we retort, you deride

What about Rudy? I'm sure he didn't lie to his wife, excuse me, wives. ;-)

And I am pretty sure he won't be President, either.;-) Speaking of Rudy...I just finished reading the Vanity Fair article about his latest wife, Judith...:eek: .

I always said that you could tell much about a restaurant by the cleanliness of the employee restrooms. The business may be shiny up front where the customers are permitted, but if the employee restrooms are out of soap, ... Same thing with politics, if they are dirty behind the scenes, we all get fed some crap with the good stuff.
