Letter: Partying Clinton

Letter:

Partying Clinton

Sir: The current excitement over both President Clinton's testimony and the general public indifference to it reminds me of a comment made by an American friend last year. US comics and commentators were making much of Clinton's installation in the White House of a "party size" hot-tub (big enough to accommodate six to eight people). My friend said that it made a pleasant change to have a president about whom the worst they could say was that he liked a good time.

Sir: Surely it is time to call an international conference for all politicians who have never stooped to "improper sexual relationships", with the express purpose of condemning Mr Clinton's behaviour?

As to venue, could I suggest the telephone kiosk in our village?
