100 motives for 100 people. Can we get past that chapter? Clinton did make some mistakes, he lied, he was disrespectful to the office. It is a shame his legacy will be filled with innuendos and snide remarks. But he made that bed.

Tex, the problem with this is that anything Clinton did that was not dealing with BJ-Gate was seen as "wagging the dog" (i.e. making any attempt to go after Al Qaeda) so indirectly, these "He got a BJ!" Congressional proceedings greatly inhibited the commander in chief's ability to protect the nation (and that's not even discussing the numerous extra-marital affairs that various presidents have had that had no impact on their ability to maintain the presidency i.e. FDR, JFK, etc.)

I think several things, including 9/11 could be traced back to BJ-gate. But both sides are equally at fault. Of course it was politically motivated. Maybe we learned a lesson here.
