Khachigian Flaunts Payback

There goes Kenneth L. Khachigian again (Commentary Feb. 1), gleefully trying to compare what--if anything--President Clinton has done to the calculated, deliberate, pervasive and repeated criminal acts of President Nixon’s White House that came perilously close to ripping the U.S. Constitution to shreds.

Khachigian has done us a service, however, although I’m sure he doesn’t realize it. He has confirmed what most of us have known all the time: “Independent” (read puppet) Counsel Kenneth Starr has been conducting a vicious political vendetta against Clinton for four years at a cost of $30 million to taxpayers instead of a legitimate investigation.

* Kenneth L. Khachigian’s sad and petulant column reminds me of those lines from the play. It is nothing more than “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

It’s all about payback. Payback for forcing Nixon’s resignation, for the rejection of Robert Bork and for having the temerity to beat George Bush and Bob Dole at the polls.
