Okay, great, let's apply your, snicker, high standard to your dishonest defense of Bill Clinton. The fact that you continue to brush it off as no big deal is why I can claim that you approve of rape. As long as it's committed by a powerful Democrat. You set the standard. Why shouldn't I abide by it?
