I am not shocked by Clinton's admission of GUILT in
a sexual affair with a subordinate, the White House intern,
Monica Lewinsky. Bad judgment yes, but an utterly banal scandal !
After this unsurprising climax, it should be easier for
most Americans to see the Starr for what he is - a politically
motivated , religious crackpot - a greater menace to the Constitution
than Bill Clinton.
Can any corporate executive survive such a ruthless probe
into his private life? Do we wish to be a nation of snoops
and snitches and vapid gossips ?
It is characteristic of totalitarian societies to deny
the private life. There is a scene in the movie " Doctor Zhivago "
( remember the poet doctor is having an extra-marital affair
with the beautiful Lara ) where the Red army general Pasha
tells Zhivago : " The personal life is dead in Russia. History
has killed it ! "
How many Ken Starr clones are out there - just waiting
to distribute Scarlet Letters to black sheep in our midst ?
Now we have the TRUTH about the Clinton - Monica affair.
Three yawns for the Truth !
There is still a world out there .
