Bill Clinton's presidency was not exactly a long list of accomplishments but it was not as scandal-filled as his resolute enemies like to claim, either. The only thing I think was out of bounds was the pardon of Marc Rich.

I think you do have to keep going, although not in the way you meant <g>. You can have the last word. I have already said I don't think those "scandals" amounted to much, or even had much to do with government in most cases. It serves no purpose to keep batting it back and forth. I am going to take a hiatus from jousting with right wingers and their bottomless anger. It never seems to get anywhere.
