Apparently it never did. Reagan was an unindicted co-conspirator, and 
Nixon was finally convinced to resign so the Senate wouldn't have to 
face being lied to him (the main thing Nixon was good at).


I agree, the cigar never mattered, and why Congress put him in the 
position of having to lie about "fun time", well, that must be 
politics. If they'd stuck to the relevant aspects of the matter, they 
would had compelled him to forfeit his security clearance for a few 
months, as a penalty. (Anyone who like to play that much sure is a 
target for blackmail, and should have to sit out duties requiring a 
security clearance for a decent interval.) Speaking again about 
character, there sure was alot of fun time in the Kennedy White 
House. At least Mangia Lewinski wasn't sharing our President with Sam 
Giancanni.


Yep, I feel alot more secure on the character issue with our current 
President. Imagination is definitely a a risk factor when it comes to 
moral lapses.


Mr. Bill
