Dear Mr. President:
It's not about sex. If it were about sex, you would be long gone. Just
like a doctor, attorney or teacher who had sex with a patient, client or
student half his age, you would have violated the ethics of your office
and would be long gone.
Just like a Sergeant Major of the Army, Gene McKinney, who though found
not guilty, was forced to resign amid accusations of sexual abuse.
Remember the Air Force General you wouldn't nominate to be Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff because he freely admitted to an affair almost
15 years before, while he and his wife were separated? Unlike you, he
was never accused of having a starry-eyed office assistant my daughter's
age perform oral sex on him while he was on the phone and his wife and
daughter were upstairs.
If it were about sex, you should be subjected to the same horrible
hearings that Clarence Thomas was subjected to because of the
accusations of Anita Hill. The only accusation then was that he talked
dirty to her; he didn't even leave semen stains on her dress.
No, it's not about sex. It's about character. It's about lying. It's
about arrogance. It's about abuse of power. It's about dodging the
draft and lying about it. When caught in a lie by letters you wrote,
you
concocted a story that nobody believed. But we excused it and looked
away. It's about smoking dope, and lying about it.
"I didn't inhale" you said.
Sure, and when I was 15 and my buddies and I swiped a beer from an
unwatched refrigerator, we drank from it, but we didn't swallow.
"I broke no laws of the United States," you said. That's right, you
smoked dope in England or Norway or Moscow; where you were demonstrating
against the U.S.A.
You lied, but we excused it and looked away.
It's about you selling overnight stays in the White House to any
foreigner or other contributor with untraceable cash. It's about
Whitewater and Jim and Susan McDougal and Arkansas, Gov. Jim Guy Tucker
and Vincent Foster and Jennifer Flowers and Paula Jones and Karen Willey
and nearly countless others.
It's about stealing the records from Fosters office while his body was
still warm and putting them in your bedroom and "not noticing them" for
two years.
It's about illegal political contributions. It's about you and Al Gore
soliciting contributions and selling influence at Buddhist temples and
in
the same Oval Office where Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt led
their countries through the dark days of wars that threatened the very
existence of our nation. But we excused you and looked away.
It's about hiding evidence from Ken Starr, refusing to testify, filing
legal motions, coaching witnesses, obstructing justice and delaying
Judge
Starr's inquiry for months and years, and then complaining that it has
gone on too long. The polls agreed. Thank goodness that Judge Star
didn't read the polls, play politics or excuse you and look away. He
held on to the evidence like a tenacious bulldog. Your supporters say
that you've confessed your wrong doings and asked for our forgiveness.
Listen, what you said on TV the night you testified to the grand jury
was
not a confession; overwhelming evidence is not a confession at all.
Not that it would make a lot of difference. A murderer who contritely
confesses his crime is still a murderer. When your "confession" didn't
sell, even to your friends, you became more forthcoming. Maybe someday
you'll confess more, but probably not.
You've established such a pattern of lying that we can't believe you
anymore. Neither can your cabinet, the Congress or any of the leaders
of
the nations of the world. When a leader's actions defame and emasculate
our country as profoundly as yours have, it's no longer a personal
matter, as you claim. It's no longer a matter between you, your family
and your God.
By the way, I don't believe for a minute that Hillary was unaware of
your
sexual misadventures, abuses of power and pattern of lying. She has
been a party to your wrong doings since Whitewater and Jennifer Flowers
just as surely as she lied about the Rose law firm's billings and hid
the Vincent Foster evidence in your bedroom for two years. Why? So she
could share in the raw power that your office carries. The two of you
probably lied to Chelsea, but that is a matter among you, your family
and your God.
Remember the sign over James Carvill's desk during the l992 campaign?
It said, "It's the economy, stupid!"
Place this sign over your desk:
"It's about character, stupid!"
No, it's not about sex, Mr. President. If it were, you would be long
gone. It's about character; but we have to live with your filth, lies
and arrogance for a while longer.
Your lies, amorality and lack of character have been as pervasive as
they
have been despicable, so we have no reason to believe that you will
quietly resign and go away. You'll count on half truths and spin
doctors to see you through, the country be damned. It has always worked
before.
We excused you and looked the other way. No more, we've had enough.
You
betrayed us enough. You have made every elected official, minister,
teacher, diplomat, parent and grandparent in the country apologize for
you and explain away your actions. Now go away, and let us show them
that our country was not without morals. It was just that you were.
Let us show them that America was not the problem.
William Jefferson Clinton was.
Go away, Mr. President. Leave us alone. And when you leave, know that
your legacy to the United States of America will be a stain on the
Office
of the President that is as filthy as the stain on Monica's dress. It
will take a lot of scrubbing to make it clean again.
