What a sad commentary. She was a friend, but crime may surpass friendship.
If I knew my good friend robbed the bank, I would have to drop a dime on
him.

If your good friend came to you to confide about a troubling extramarital
affair he was having, would you feel compelled to tell his wife?

That's the "crime" that was in play when
Tripp did her thing. Adultery. If we started arresting everybody who had ever
been guilty of it in one for or another, there'd be no traffic jams in tomorrow
morning's commute.

It would likely to be easier naming the past presidents who did *not* screw
around while in office than those who did. Doesn't excuse it, doesn't make it
right, but it makes the adultery portion of the whole debacle no big deal from
a historical perspective. The lie that followed- yes, that was a big deal.

I agree with the Republicans of a few years ago. Any president who will stand
before TV cameras and tell a deliberate, concocted, bald-faced lie to the
American public is absolutely unfit for office. No exceptions. None at all.

These comments are from a man who wrote a pathetic story saying hi to
"brother" seagull and wishing everyone happy kwanza.

You are a smarmy little man.

Quite nasty, actually.

Everything you post is negative and hateful, Wally. Everything you post is
nothing but a flame at folks you think Sean Hannity would disapprove of.

I'm so glad you dislike me. Proves I'm not on the same track as yourself. But
you really must be a fan. When did I post that story about a midwinter cruise?
9 or 10 months ago? I'd completely forgotten about it.

Must have really upset the group, the way you tell it.
Wonder what other people thought of the pathetic little story?
Let's look in Google and see:

Great choice Chuck. Thanks for the 5 minute version.

Thanks for sharing boating adventures a continent away. Happy Holidays.

Shrink wrapped but busy with other activities!

winter boating in the NW.)

What a wonderful post. Your family is fortunate, and you are a truely
lucky man. This is what boating is all about.

Enjoyed that story very much, I'm envious!

A friend is participating in a New Years Eve lighted parade, I hope to be
aboard. He has an enclosed lower helm and heat, the only way I would boat
in the winter around here.

Well there you have it, Wally. The post you reference definitely proves that
I'm a nasty, smarmy little man. It's right there in Google, in front of
absolutely everybody.

By the way, the bird was a heron and happy Kwanza was a portion of a phrase
with several seasonal, holiday greetings. You do know what Kwanza is, right?
Next time you cash your paycheck, go look in the greeting card section. (Don't
let the revolving blue light blind you.) I think you'll find Kwanza cards,
Christmas Cards, Hannukkah cards, and more. Which of those holidays or
religious observations is "wrong"?

How shameful that you would mischaracterize such obvious, checkable facts to
make your rickety little point seem stronger.
You're a cheap trick, Wally. A two line insulter with no rebuttal, no debate,
no content; just personal attack. If you have anything better to offer, we'd
probably all love to see it. Any day now would be fine.

Any President or CEO of a company who has an affair with an intern or
employee is unfit for the job. All the other philandering presidents were
smart enough to do it away from the flagpole as the military puts it.
Having a President who has an affair with an intern and gets BJ's while
talking with foreign leaders about serious or even not so serious items is
unfit to be a leader. Army gave the Sergeant Major a demotion and jail time
for affairs with subordinates.
