"The pressure for a full examination of Broaddrick's charge will have to come from the rest of us: grass- roots activists, religious leaders, maybe a few politicians, indeed anyone with a moral bent and thirst for justice and the truth. Appalled by the media's minimal interest in the case, Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen wrote: "It is one thing to define deviancy down. It's another thing to obliterate it entirely." Yet if the Broaddrick case fades without a trace, that's what we will have permitted Clinton to do. He will reign triumphant, not only acquitted by the Senate, but utterly unaccountable for all of his past behavior, no matter how contemptible or heinous."
