Obama '08?

But since he had a position of authority over her (he was the POTUS, she was an intern) she could have claimed sexual harrassment on his part, and won.

“You must not desire ... anything that belongs to your fellowman.”

I hardly read all your posts.

Tell me something I don't know, h2oman.

Nice of you to finally admit that you dont think the US has ever done anything good.

I understand that there were even several feminists who considered the seduction of an impressionable and somewhat dim young intern by her older and extremly powerful superior bordered on, if not crossed the line into sexual harassment.

Yes, I know: there are always excuses, always extenuating circumstances, always distinctions to be made when a Republican is accused of misconduct.

A Republican congressman yells "you lie!" at the president during the state of the union address? Well, Obama is a liar, so that's OK.

A Republican vice-president tells a senator to "go **** yourself"? Well, he's the vice-president, and, after all, it's not like he got a blowjob from an intern or anything. A Democratic congressman says "**** the president" in a closed-door caucus meeting?[silence]

The funny thing is just how completely blind you are to your own inconsistencies. Like, for instance, this post, where you complain about Democrats continuing to criticize George W. Bush after he has left office. The problem is that you make that complaint as an excuse for your own complaints about Bill Clinton long after he has left office. Really, it just gets comical after a while.

And that's always the okie "get out of jail free" card, isn't it? A Republican can be accused of any sort of misconduct, but as long as he didn't get a blowjob from an intern, he's off the hook. I tell you what, okie: how about you make a pledge. For the next year, you promise that you won't use Bill Clinton's misbehavior as an excuse for a Republican's misconduct unless the Republican is accused of getting a blowjob (or similar sexual act) from an intern (or similarly situated employee). That shouldn't be too hard, should it? I'll even match you: if you pledge not to use Clinton as an excuse for Republican misdeeds, I promise I won't use GWBush as an excuse for Democratic misdeeds. Deal?

I repeat the fact that if this had been Bush, which it never would have been because he would not stoop that low,

Finn: I understand that there were even several feminists who considered the seduction of an impressionable and somewhat dim young intern by her older and extremly powerful superior bordered on, if not crossed the line into sexual harassment.

I think it's funny that you consider a Blowjob to be more important the torture and blatant lawbreaking that Bush engaged in.

Joe has you dead to rights, man.
