COMMENTARY


Where will Bill Clinton be in a month?


Vince Higdon is a college senior.

He'll definitely be brought up on charges. It'll stain his record one way or the other.


Daniel Martinez da la Vega is a college sophomore.

With another intern.


Daniel Bush is a college senior.

So this shows how vacant national politics has been; how much more meaningful the actions of individuals in doing the important.


Andrew Madof is a college junior.

I don't think they have enough to impeach him. It wasn't a political mistake but a moral one. He's gonna retire and ride a horse and wear a stupid cowboy hat and people will forget about him.


Sarah Meyer is a college sophomore.

I think he'll still be in the office. I just don't think a month is long enough. They'll just keep stretching it out.


Adam Friedberg is a Conservatory sophomore.

I think he'll stay in office. By the time he's out, he'll wish he were impeached. This is ridiculous that it is compared to Watergate.


Kevin Makino is a college senior.

I hope that Clinton will still be in office in a month- I just can't imagine impeaching him for his offence. I also don't think that impeachment would be in the nation's best interest. I'm sure that our international credibility has already been detrimentally affected by the recent incidents, not so much as a result of Clinton's actions, but rather as a result of how the public has reacted and focused on such an irrelevant issue. Basically, I believe that people just need to get over this "moral leader of the nation" crap and let the president focus on actually running the country as effectively as he can.


Chrissy Greer is a college junior.

I think that in one month Clinton will still be in office. I don't think the general public is going to forgive or forget, but I also don't feel that Clinton's sex life is of national importance. I think we should all look at the bigger picture - there are more important things to focus on.


Catherine Mayhew is a college senior.

I don't think anything will happen to Clinton except possibly being censured. I think he'll weasel his way out of it. Subjective use of language would make it difficult for him to be formally charged with perjury.
