Clinton haters are obsessive, weird


Bill Clinton's extracurricular sex life was in the papers, I hope, for the last time last week as independent counsel Robert Ray, the man who took over for the infamous Kenneth Starr, issued his final report and proclaimed that he could have prosecuted Clinton for perjury if he had wanted to.

Ray's report essentially rehashed the scandal that was orchestrated from the very beginning by a fanatical wing of the Republican Party obsessed with its hatred of Clinton and his wife, Hillary.

Once this investigation was supposed to implicate the president on everything from "murdering" Vince Foster to bilking investors in a land development scheme in Arkansas. But after $70 million and months and months of national anguish, it wound up finding that the president lied when asked if he had oral sex with a White House intern.

That was it, folks. Admittedly, it's no excuse for a president, but how many married men do you know who might risk perjury when asked whether they've cheated on their wife?
