(1,941 posts)Clinton didn't commit any sort of sex crime. Cheating on his wife is not a criminal offense even if it could be grounds for divorce.
What he did do, and is unforgivably stupid, is give the Republicans ammunition. No, he did more than that. He knew they wanted to put a bullet through his skull and he bought them a gun, a bullet, loaded it into the gun, put it in their hands with finger on the drigger and stuck it in his mouth. There was a goddamn bow on it.
Now contrast with Spitzer. While I think that anti-prostitution laws are stupid, he is a sitting governor who broke the law, laws that he put people in jail for breaking as attorney-general. Likewise, Senator Wide Stance was doing the public bathroom sex thing which is also illegal. That's not what bothered me so much as his vociferous attacks on homosexuals. I don't care that he's a pervert (and by that I mean the bathroom sex, that's kinky), he's a goddamn hypocrite. That's my problem with him.
