Thanks Hound. It has always been frustrating to me that the template of being about sex was always a red herring. For me it was always about perjury and asking others to perjure themselves that was the crime that in my view deserved the impeachment articles. That it was about sex was unfortunate but he has only himself to blame for that. Whether the Senate came to the right conclusion or not can be left to historians but for sure that sorry episode will be a part of his legacy.

What is ironic about his whole Presidency is that other than when he raised taxes too far (causing a mini-recession that cost Algore the election), Clinton was far more ambitious than ideological. He was generally lasse-faire on business, did nothing on the environment and went along with the Republican controlled Congress on welfare reform, NAFTA and some other right-leaning issues. So he stained (pun intended) what could have been a reasonably good legacy with his personal peccadillio's. Of course, it could be that dealing with those issues prevented him from implementing a more liberal agenda. Not sure on that score.
