For over a year, President Clinton’s enemies
Those who believe the President is being
In the larger scheme of things,
Further, we have learned that
Questions looming now are:
The tenor of all these questions is laced with
Under constant (and nasty) pressure
As we flip channels with our remotes at home,
Reporters, photographers, and media sharks
Against this backdrop of passionate politics,
Many news show guests appear rumpled,
This feeding frenzy has lasted over a year
It seems the president and the people are
Some of us shun the righteous pronouncements
We do not like the way the Senate trial
This scandal is too public for many of us,
So? Who is the runaway horse?
As much as we enjoy a bit of 'scandal' now and then,
Where’s the monster going next?

This page is dedicated to Voters
have talked about his being judged by the law...
They rant to us
that Clinton is not above the law,
that he should not
enjoy a double-standard – they say he is
a shameless criminal.
over-killed by his enemies remind us
our President is not under the law.
They try to stop our election from being overthrown,
they want our elected President to finish his term.
They do not believe Clinton is a criminal.
we have learned
a president’s private sex life is not
a forgettable incident, an embarrassment.
Such can be twisted into
alleged perjury before a Grand Jury
and Obstruction of Justice –
we have learned the entire case against our President
is about some kind of consensual sex activity.
misspeaking about a private sex life
can lead a President to
galloping impeachment,
a Senate trial,
world television coverage,
outrage-obsessed pursuit.
Have we gone overboard morally?
Is this over yet?
Is our President guilty of an impeachable crime?
How much is Monica going to make on her book?
Is everyone’s consensual sex life public domain now?
Is the President in or out of office?
Is this the end yet or not?
moral outrage, sarcasm, and increasing hostility...
on one side;
and great embarrassment and fear
on the other.
our President must lead our government
as best he can,
support and guide our country at home and afar.
As the leader of the free world, he must be
aware of all hazardous circumstances,
all world problems. Oh yes -
The Clintons must wonder what has hit them?
Great balls of fire – what?
To survive, the first family has become
disproportionately embarrassed,
nonresponsive, unnaturally silent.
They balk from ongoing unceasing battering.
No one in the family has had any peace of mind
for over a year – they are constantly mocked.
stampede Monica Lewinsky,
all seemingly hopeful for a ugly ‘fat’ picture...
a grimace, a sneer,
a lashing out…an unsightly giggle.
She has become America’s Princess Diana...
preening pre-occupied Congresspersons
lumber about superciliously pontificating.
Senators poorly attempt civility...
too many of them wondering and worrying perhaps
that Larry Flint (or someone else)
might bomb-drop them.
as if they suffer battle-fatigue.
Still, they display amazing agility
to stalking, trick questions
they are urged to answer-
Yata yata yata: the game is afoot!
but media heads chafe if anyone says
"I want this over."
Lots of media chafing and peevishness...
Talking heads wear their mikes possessively,
like battle ribbons...
They make big bucks on this scandal
and do not want to let it go.
outfoxed and surrounded,
running out of ammunition... and
the rhetoric of denunciation is disquieting,
for none of us are sexual saints.
But more than that,
none of us are so pure
we have never lied about something...
about something.
Thus, we feel guilty by proxy somehow.
Ah, this is a dirty mess!
we’ve heard however,
in spite of reprisals we might endure.
We reflect, worry...
we are contrite
that we were absolutely powerless
to prevent our President’s Impeachment.
We feel double-crossed and frightened,
stunned,
even mute.
is continuing to railroad Clinton –
we fear Clinton will be
removed from office...we’ve seen
things get out-of-control before.
The momentum of this cuts us deep.
too hostile.
We hang in there listening and watching
in distress,
putting in our two cents worth as I am doing now,
because we feel obligated
to this trampled family.
The Republicans?
The House? The Galloping House Managers?
The Senate?
The Media?
this one’s morning noon and night constitutional is
undeserved punishment
far beyond the Law of our Land.
Can anything be done to stop what’s happening?
Seems not...A monster has been created.
Who is its next victim, its next dinner?
This is one hungry monster...
this is not a horror movie.
Are you frightened it will wind up
in your backyard next? I am.
