You're entitled to believe that, but I think you're off by a mile. I again refer you to the Jay Leno law of news resonance. If it can hold as a late night joke, than people ae still thinking about it. It's also the holiday break, and no level of impeachable offense could get between me and my egg nog. There's also that whole part about Senate hearings and stuff.

Let's face it- people don't reach their own conclusions, they often let the press decide it for them. The public feeling over this issue will be fought and won by the ideologues....as usual.

As for the so-called "precedent" which has ben set....well, I could cite something Ben Franklin said, but Robert "dochebag for liberty" Novak beat me to it.

This is why we have a free press. You can call it a politically motivated trick, and I'll say no kidding, please pass the yams. I don't think that entirely matters though. This isn't the same as what Clinton and Carter did, no matter how many times Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity scream it. And even if it were on par with past wrong doing, so what? Shouldn't we demand more of our elected leaders? Do the naughty deeds of LBJ cancel out the naughty deds of President Bush? That's a pretty jaded outlook, IMO.
