How can people overlook his dishonesty and lack of integrity? Very easily, it seems. He is doing a decent job as president. He hasn't fucked anything up. Isn't that all that matters?
The president is little more than a figurehead. He does not have much power. As long as he keeps the mindless masses happy by not screwing things up, is it important that he has slept with more people than Jasmine St. Clare?
Clinton's sexual relationships, in my opinion, do not affect his ability to be president. Every president in US history has had a skeleton in his closet. JFK was practically running a brothel in the White House, but no one has said, "Well, maybe he decided to invade the Bay of Pigs because Marilyn Monroe gave him crabs and he was itchy and pissed off."
People can separate their personal and professional lives. You can be a total scumbag, but an effective leader. Princess Diana was an empty-headed tramp with serious mental problems, yet people were able to overlook her numerous shortcomings and declare her a near saint.
Clinton should be afforded the same treatment. He's not trustworthy or ethical, but so far, he has got the job done. (And, remember, the president does not have a hard job.)
As long as these proceedings go on and everyone is focused on Clinton's dick, though, he will not be able to do his job. Arafat and Netanyahu are in town for discussions, but instead of asking Clinton questions about increased Israeli settlements in the West Bank and their impact on peace, reporters want to know about his johnson. It's ridiculous. Clinton cannot focus on foreign policy, or even domestic policy, if he has to worry about more sexual misconduct allegations.

I won't talk about Gore's robotic personality. That's cliche. I'm concerned about his love of the environment. Hey, I like mountains and trees and lakes too, but I also like my SUV. (If Gore becomes president, expect bumper stickers that read, "They can have my SUV when they pry my cold, dead fingers off of the steering wheel.") I can see it now -- the year 2000 and we're all driving ugly electric cars that need to be recharged every sixty miles.
Stop chopping down the rainforest. Save the whales. Stop polluting the ocean. Whatever. But, god, why must environmentalists like Al Gore go after the little guys? We have to use oxygenated gas that makes people sick and put our cars through more rigorous emissions testing, but no one is forcing factories to clean up their act. Does the EPA believe NJ is going to become a less polluted state because of the tougher emissions standards? Do they think the factories in North Jersey are spewing fumes of health and wellness? I get nauseous driving through portions of North Jersey, like Elizabeth. There's smoke and fire shooting into the airÖthat's acceptable, but my 4Runner isn't?
Anyway, I guess I got off topic. My point is that, while Clinton never should have been elected in the first place (haven't you morons discovered yet there are political parties other than the Democrats and Republicans?), he's here now and it does not help our country to distract him from his job. (Geez, and I bet Clinton thought his second term was going to be reminiscent of Eisenhower. Golf, golf, golf, and oh yeah, fondling the new hottie on the White House staff.)
(I was going to write about how Clinton is the bomb shit and I give him mad props for fucking all those chickenheads, but then I realized "bomb shit" and "mad props" are the only two slang words I know. So, it wouldn't have been funny.)
