The Monica Lewinsky/Kenneth Starr fiasco will always bother me for a multitude of reasons.
1. Juanita Broaddrick: Remember her? She has accused Bill Clinton of rape and she has never changed her story. For every Juanita Broadrrick reference, there are at least one thousand Monica Lewinsky references. This says something disturbing about the finger-pointers.
Apparently to the Hanitys and Ingrahams and Limbaughs and all the other members of the Conservative Click, rape is no more objectionable (or even less so) than consensual sex. Rape is not wrong because it is a horrendous act of brutality but rather because it is one more act of unsanctioned consorting. If that is one's position--and it seems to be the consensus of the Conservative Cool Kids--then maybe there is some merit to the "War on Women" charge.
Of course, the feminists and the conspicuously compassionate and the social justice crowd don't give a damn about Ms. Broadrrick either. Where are our priorities?
Stay tuned.
