Nice responses.
I think it is very interesting to see the same people who were running around and trying to downplay affairs, alleged rapes, corruption, arguable treason, drug use, draft dodging, etc. as being immaterial" b/c it was "In the past", yet they are now out there trying to feign being Indignant over such "dishonest and deceptive" behavior by Bush.
Give me a break. NOBODY is buying into this BS, b/c the hypocrisy is so obvious that it is insulting to the average American.
Did Clinton have an express duty to come forth and dislose his many sins without it being raised by others? No. If it comes up you have to answer to it though, and in the case of Clinton and Gore there is a great distinction b/n the way THEY have dealt with this type of information, and the way Governor Bush has dealt with it. Clinton/Gore have always lied and stonewalled upon being "caught" with their indiscretions. Bush on the other hand dealt with it like an honorable man. He openly admitted it, explained it, and moved on. I was VERY impressed with the way he dealt with this matter. It said ALOT about the man, and it was really a perfect opportunity to showcase the drastic differences between the 2 men running for this office.
That said much more to me than the 24 year old act.
I am very pleased to see that the nation sees it my way as well. It has not hurt Bush at all, in fact if anything it may have helped a bit, and will probably continue to do so.
