Maybe Bill Clinton and/or Al Gore were wrong with their " . . . ethically
challenged fundraising and legal adventures", this does not lend credence to
the misguided concept, "He was unethical, therefor I can lie to the people."
If either (or both) of the presidents led the American people astray, they
are wrong and do not desrve the respect and/or trust of the American people.
