Kerry should do what Clinton didn't: Tell media sex hounds to get lost! [View All]

[JackRiddler]

So here is Kerry's chance to do what Clinton should have done back in 1992, or in 1997 at the latest, which would have avoided a whole lot of trouble and helped America grow up.

Assuming the charges are limited to an affair with a consenting adult and do not involve force or anything illegal, Kerry should not deny or explain anything. Something like the following will do:

"Whatever love relations I may have had with another consenting adult are none of your business. The American people have had ample opportunity to show that they do not vote based on stories about sex lives, and rightly so. They are sick of media-driven distractions from the issues that actually matter to them. I will make no statements about things that every reasonable person will agree are rightly private. Get your cameras out of my crotch!"

This is what Jesse Ventura did, by the way, for whatever it's worth. He's the only one I can think of who stood up for his god-given rights to sexual privacy.

It would work fabulously. (So well, in fact, that I hope instead he equivocates and weakens himself, because he is bad news for our country.)

So what are the chances? He's Mr. Business-As-Usual on NAFTA, 9/11 investigations, Iraq invasion, PATRIOT and everything else that matters. Can he at least make this minor contribution towards improving American culture?

Regardless of your opinion of Kerry, what do you people think he should do?
