Marc A. Genest ( A for ASS )

URI political science professor Marc A. Genest seems unhappy

    with yesterday's Senate verdict on President Clinton - NOT GUILTY !

    His remarks in your paper ( Feb 13 - " Political System has been hurt, local

    pundits say" )  were less than sophomoric even for a professor. So

    Clinton is just a glib, amoral politician who - with the help of an

    equally amoral public - got away with something indeed grievous. By

    the standards of the Republican Right, I guess . By Henry Hyde's , Ken

    Starr's standards ?

           And oh my WHAT WILL WE TELL THE CHILDREN ? I would tell the kids

    of Rhode Island : " Look how easy it is for a complete JACKASS like

    Genest to become a URI professor !  "

          And to the editor of the Journal let me say that true enough,

    CHARACTER IS FATE , but if the Senate verdict had pleased you, then you

    would very soon find out what a Pyrrhic Victory looks like .

          But as JFK said: " Let's get this country moving again ! "

      Republicans are WELCOME in this .
