"Regarding Ken Starr's investigation of Bill Clinton, I don't see mean-spiritedness in his pursuit of his federal investigation. Ken Starr has a very polite manner, and didn't make any wild allegations. He was absolutely committed to the fact that Clinton is guilty of a crime (perjury to a grand jury, that resulted in a 40 million dollar investigation that Clinton could have prevented with a little honesty at any point, for Democrats here who are immune to the facts, and allege Clinton's only crime was extramarital sex. Clinton's dishonesty also prevented discussion of the nation's business for close to two years).
And after Clinton's repeated denial that he did anything wrong, Clinton was finally forced to confess the truth when Lewinsky produced a semen-stained dress.
And even then, Democrats bypassed that Clinton was guilty, and accused Republicans of "mean-spirited" pursuit of Clinton.

REALITY CHECK: Clinton committed a crime.
And while Clinton was being investigated, I think Starr handled the investigation as politely as he could, with no cooperation from Clinton or the other Democrats.
Many papers across the country, liberal ones included, called for Clinton's resignation and/or impeachment in their editorial pages while Starr was doing his investigation.
I really felt bad for Starr, for the way he was unjustly trashed by the liberal media. While just doing his job as politely as he could, as federal prosecutor of the Clinton investigation.

In contrast, there is no proof, ONLY RELENTLESS ALLEGATION, that Bush or Cheney have acted illegally."

Actually wasn't quite a bit of that 40 million spent on various other investigations? And the Lewinsky lie happened towards the end of all these investigations? And didn't these investigations start out with allegations that ended up being empty? We had quite a few years of various investigations that spawned new ones & that was wrong! Despite the far right wingers, Clinton gave us more jobs & a better quality of life. Crime was down & the deficit was getting paid. He wouldn't of pissed away all the goodwill the world had for America after 9/11 either. Bush really should look at what was working so well during Clinton terms & copy it & stay out of flight suits. His days in the Air Force are not going to get him re-elected.
