eh, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to fix it, but I don't think that the examples you've posted would require them to in order to win. Remember, the public forgets EVERYTHING unless it involves sex. Reagan came out of Irangate smelling like a rose. Bush has avoided so much flak I think he's getting the Teflon President from Reagan. Clinton, on the other hand, is STILL being lampooned as the guy that got a blowjob in the oval office. Never mind the fact that a blowjob didn't kill any soldiers, didn't violate the law (as Iran-Contra did on multiple levels), and didn't actually hurt the country. Doesn't matter, it involved sex, so we'll remember that until the world ends.
How many of you can recall the details of Iran Contra or even Watergate in the same clarity that you can recall Monicagate?
