      I don't have any idea if there's anything to the below suggestion
    regarding the possibilty of Clinton having a venereal disease.
      If I believed Clinton were an honest, honorable man I wouldn't give
    it much credence, actually.
      However, since Clinton ostentatiously claims to be on "active duty"
    as the Commander-in-Chief (God help us) when that claim's convenient,
    shouldn't he be subject to AT LEAST the same (if not more severe)
    military discipline that a VD-infected Buck Private would be? That is,
    have the matter dealt with under the military justice system.
