Were you this upset about Fahrenheit 9/11 ?  I can't tell you how many of my 
classmates in college history class were quoting Donald Sutherland's 
fictional character while debating the JFK assassination.  Was that shades 
of ISN ?  Like everyone else, I haven't seen the ABC film yet, but I'm 
hearing it's not to glowing about the Bush Administration either.

>From what I hear, Bill's denying he might have been a little distracted by 
the Lewinski affair.  Sounds like a stretch to me.  He spent months 
answering questions about almost nothing but "that woman" he didn't have 
sexual relations with, and deliberating what did and did not constitute oral 
sex.  Sounds distracted to me.

In all fairness,  I think that Kenneth Starr and the Republican Congress 
share AT LEAST equally in the blame for this.  Had they not been obsessing 
over something as petty as "Nookie-gate", perhaps he could have concentrated 
on more important matters.  On the other hand, Bill had nearly a year to 
simply stop lying and put an end to it.  He chose not to.

I only hope that at some point both parties can learn to stop taking cheap 
shots at each other and try to put the good of the nation over their own 
petty ambitions and rivalries.  I also hope that folks on both sides will 
stop looking for conspiracies around every corner.  When Bill was in office, 
right wing kooks were ranting about black UN helicopters while running out 
to join militias.  Today left wing kooks are panting in anticipation of the 
next Michael Moore "documentary".

I am not optimistic about either, however.
