Why character matters

All through the Clinton sexual excursions and subsequent impeachment, I felt people missed the entire point of why what happens in your bedroom is important in assessing character.

The point being what happens in your bedroom subjects one to extortion and black mail. Don't believe me. Just look at the lengths senator Craig went to to try and conceal his little peccadillo from the public.

What if someone would have had film of this guy? What secrets would he have released to keep his little secret quiet?

That's precisely why your character matters and, in the world of presidential politics, who you run with matters as much as who you sleep with.

Liberally conservative has a post about the whole Clinton-Hsu relationship. As more comes out about Norman Hsu, you start to realize that it's one thing to take campaign contributions from someone you don't know but this guy got tremendous amounts of access to Clinton.

How in the world did her security people not find about this guy's issues? Or, more importantly, did they know but not care? Is this the same sloppiness in which she'll appoint her staff? Kick in a few bucks and we'll get you in?

Under Bill, set a high water mark of pay & play politics, to the point that national security was impacted. It's nice to see Hill trying to surpass her low life husband.
