Maybe so,  but speaking of God's work... how do those members of the
moralising 'right', who are both anti-abortion and pro-capital punishment,
reconcile their arguments?

'Disappointment'? Maybe what Joe doesn't get is that, regardless of the
outcome of formal procedures - the vengeance that should 'fall from the
sky', Clinton's blown it purely through his actions, and is known and will
be remembered as a man of limited integrity and moral character. That, for
the 'Clinton-haters', is quite possibly enough. Clinton and his apologists
cannot claim any victory because the system he's part of treated him gently.
Or so it would seem to me...
