As far as Clinton goes, it's ancient history.

And you've forgiven Nixon, right?

That's a preposterous analogy, for a couple of reasons:

1) How many off-topic posts do you see on this newsgroup spontaneously
complaining about Nixon? I can't think of any.

2) Nixon slaughtered hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese because they
had the temerity to defend themselves against a US invasion, as they had
done previously against the French and the Japanese. He subverted the US
constitution by using federal agencies to commit crimes against his
political opponents. He resigned the presidency in the face of imminent
overwhelming votes for impeachment and conviction. He would have gone to
prison (as did 25 members of his administration, including four cabinet
members), had he not been preemptively pardoned by his own former vice
president.

Far from "getting over it" or "moving on," I would say: "Those who do
not study history are condemned to repeat it."

Good principle, preposterous instantiation. You think it's important for
people to continue to complain to an aviation newsgroup about Clinton's sex
scandal in order to protect the Republic from the possibility that another
president will get a blow job and lie about it?
