Kenneth Starr, or how I learned to stop worrying about Republican attacks on the Clintons
A good refresher on the Kenneth Starr report; the conclusion is that Hilary will probably have to face many over-hyped, exaggerated and totally made up accusations from the right wing.

I watched as these events unfolded, as closely as I watched the Watergate investigation and the impeachment of President Nixon. I read the leaks, saw the debates, and realized that the only thing the two events had in common was the word “impeachment.” Kenneth Starr never had a case against Bill Clinton—so he made one up.
When we elect Hillary Clinton, she will face a new round of made-up stuff from the radicals on the right. There is no way to know today what the subject will be, only that there will surely be one or more. It appears to be the closest that the Republican Party can come to governance since Newt Gingrich introduced his Contract With America. And it is probably the reason that the approval rating for Congress has remained in the tank.
Kenneth Starr was recently quoted as giving high praise to President Bill Clinton as “the most gifted politician of the baby boomer generation,” and, with a total lack of self-awareness, he expressed concern over the “erosion of civility” in our current political discourse.
“The utter decline and erosion of civility and discourse has, I think, very troubling implications.”
No kidding.
