The stuff he was accused of is ameteurish compared to Slick Willie. Nixon’s real transgression is that he was a Republican. The stuff he was accused of is ameteurish compared to Slick Willie.

Which is perhaps irrelevant since I'm a Brit -- maybe it's my two pence (geez ... that sounds snobby) :) That, of course, is my 2 cents, and nothing more.

It does not. I haven't ever taken drugs and I hope I never do, but you can't judge someone because of it. And as for Clinton, well, he's not a liberal anyway, so I couldn't care less if he gets what's coming to him - an explanation that he screwed up, big time. But he also did a lot of good, big time, if you will. The phrase 'prosperous US economy' comes to mind. Also, you shouldn't judge a political philosophy by its supposed leaders. And whilst you're not necessarily intending to do so, it is something I think a lot of people do. But JFK has to be, perhaps bar Lincoln and FDR, the greatest president in US history. Of course, this will probably have changed by the time President-elect Obama leaves office. And RFK would be on the list if he hadn't been murdered.
