Respectfully, Bill there WAS indeed outrage at Clinton for the masturbation
and sexuality fiasco. Further, I was furious that my 8 year old daughter and
10 year old son knew of fellatio becasue of Clinton's presidential
dalliances.

That does not supplant the importance of public awareness of issues--
despite the repercussions from the sitting
president. Dubya's approval rating is at an all time low and perhaps it is
felt that he is being hit while he is down. Personally, I think as in these
cases, the sands of time will judge him/them better than we.

And WHY doesn't the average patient know about MRSA?!

Sheesh.
