Hmmmmmmm.... good point!!!

Let's really compare what happened.... 

Accusation: Bush bypassed the Constitution in order to implement a 
   foreign policy with dubious values (Iran-Contra). 

Accusation: Clinton tried to get a "blow job" in a hotel room. 

Let's assume both accusations are true.... Most of us seem to believe
that they are. It does enforce our general perceptions of the two
individuals.

Bush believes that the ends justify the means.  Following the Constitution
should be done at one's convenience. Other things to look at:

	- Going to China after Tianneman Square.
	- Invasion of Panama (destroying it) for who? (a 2-bit drug lord).
	- Read my lips. Make a promise, and then break it at your 
	  convenience. 

Clinton believes that people are there for his pleasure.  He views that
the world revolves around him.  Other things to look at:

	- Having hairstyle and holding up the air traffic at LAX.
	- Whitewater... The facts appear to be that Bill wanted to 
	  make a few bucks, and that he didn't realize/care that 
	  he was getting involve with several shady/incompetent people.
	- Travelgate... They fire these people, and then deny having
	  anything to do with it.  Filegate... Some loose cannon (with 
	  disputable reputation) asks for files...  They disassociate
	  themselves with him. 

Bush is an elitist who felt that he was given the right to be President. 
Clinton is a narcissist who believes that people love him, and that is 
why he is President. 

Bush acted noble and stood behind his mistakes.... (Quayle, John Tower, 
Clarence Thomas, and John Sununu). 

Clinton denies association (Craig Livingstone, Lani Guynier,  Zoe Baird,
etc.).  I am innocent...
