The clear lesson from this, Clinton's impeachment, and Bush's non-impeachment, is that only sexual morality counts anymore. Ethics, the concept of acting in a way to not harm others, is dead. No one cares. Wolfowitz screwed up everything he touched with unethical hiring practices and the preposterous stove-piping. But man, when he has unmarried sex and gets caught, he has got to go. When Clinton gets a blowjob from a non wife, 1053 subpeonas are justified. Bush plays the fool who followed a fool (Wolfowitz) and we give him a pass for being an idiot. I personally think this goes back to the Reagan revolution, when anything done in the name of business became acceptable, but extra marital sex became a high crime and a misdemeanor.
