For the Record

From President Clinton’s second Inaugural Address, in January 1997: “Each and every one of us, in our own way, must assume personal responsibility, not only for ourselves and our families, but for our neighbors and our nation.” . . . Clinton, one year later: “I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I’m going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.” . . . Clinton, seven months after that: “I did have a relationship with Miss Lewinsky that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong.” . . . Federalist Paper #70 says impeachment was created for an officeholder who acts “in such manner as to render him unworthy of being any longer trusted.” . . . ABC News poll: 73 per cent say Clinton not honest and trustworthy. . . . Drudge Report: Clinton calls on President to resign. From Arkansas Gazette, August 8, 1974: “No question that an admission of making false statements to government officials and interfering with the FBI . . . is an impeachable offense.” . . . Vice President Al Gore escapes limelight with “vacation” in Hawaii, but issues statement concerning his Chief: “I am proud of him because he is a great President.” . . . White House anti-impeachment strategy is starting to gel: accuse past Republican Presidents of lying and highlight adulteries by current Republican congressmen.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif), who was in Roosevelt Room with Clinton when he lied publicly about sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky: “My trust in his credibility has been badly shattered.” . . . House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt (D., Mo.): “I am very disappointed in his personal conduct.” . . . Retiring Rep. Paul McHale (D., Pa.): “With great sadness, I have concluded that President Clinton should resign or face impeachment.” . . . Former N.Y. Gov. Mario Cuomo (D.): “He came off near the end of his speech sounding angry at Starr . . . that wasn’t an appropriate response. Contrition was. Apology was.” . . . Sen. Robert Torricelli (D., N.J.): “Bill Clinton probably always knew he was going to face this moment of truth.” . . . Rep. Gary Ackerman (D., N.Y.), on Clinton’s adulterous Oval Office liaisons: “As President of the United States, it’s difficult to check into Motel 6.”
