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 Kathleen Willey and nearly
countless
others.
It's about stealing the records from Foster's 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, obstruction 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 Starr 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 wrongdoings and asked for
our
forgiveness. Listen, what you said on TV the night you testified to the
grand
jury was not a confession. Confession in the face of 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
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 no longer a personal matter, as you claim. It's no longer
a
matter among 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 wrongdoings 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 Blythe
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.
