Letter: Everybody's entitled to their opinions, Clinton foes included

She misses the point when she talks about Watergate, Iran-Contra, lifelong military, etc. Of course the ex-presidents' homes had to be secured, just as Clinton's mother's home was secured.
Those presidents she mentioned served their country honorably and earned the title of commander-in-chief. None of them fled the country, demonstrated against the United States, spaced out on pot, lied to their draft board, lied to their country and their friends and their family. Does McLaughlin condone the use of our 'house' to solicit sex with a young woman?
Does she condone his supposed backing of public schools and sending his daughter to a private school? Maybe she should be made aware that because of his lies and stonewalling Starr-gate was necessary. I am neither a Clinton hater nor jealous, as she intimated, and I'm certainly not calling her pathetic as she branded me.
I wonder if she came to the aid of Anita Hill, but is standing up for her president's action against a practical minor?
