<<They proved absolutely nothing about Robert Blake.  The point is that 
simply because a person squeaks by without a prison term, it doesn't 
necessarily mean that I want her to hold office or do jobs around the
house.>>

Ah, but Robert Blake didn't have a prosecutor with a full staff and all the
resources of the federal government aimed at him. Clinton did. Millions of
private dollars were contributed -- in addition to the special prosecutor's
kitty -- to nail him. They didn't do it. 

<<Thus it is with politicians.  If there's even a hint of doubt, we throw 
them out.>>

I'm trying to think of a politician about whom there was no doubt. The only
one I can come up with is Paul Simon, our late senator. The two current
senators seem pretty high bottom, but you never know.

Now our governor and state assembly -- that's a whole other story.
