The Gropenator
Where There's Smoke There's Fire - Plus: Der Schwarzengroper By Mickey Kaus
The unpleasant truth may be that Arnold can only get away with his reponse, if he gets away with it, because the Clinton impeachment trauma raised the electorate's tolerance of sinful male Darwinian behavior. Schwarzenegger stands on the shoulders of the gropers who came before him.
There is a lot of circular reasoning going on here. Basically Kaus is saying that Arnold's behavior is excusable because Clinton somehow established a precedent. It was wrong when Clinton did it, but you can't blame Arnold, because Clinton did it, so that justifies Arnold doing it, even though it was wrong when Clinton did it. Ouch.
