№ 624: Donald And Bill (two of an unkind?)

QUESTION MARK, AR (June 24)

Why do our two political factions
have such decidedly different reactions
to Bill Clinton's and Trump's. . .“sexplorations?
Some of Trump’s victims held high social position,
while Clinton’s targets were mostly down-market.

With Clinton some said (when not huntin’ squirr’ls),
“Kip yer dang hans offa r gurls!”
With Donald, these same say, “I doan kere diddly-squat.
Rich snooty bitches disuved wot they got!”
Others who call Trump's behavior outrageous
see Clinton's as simply somewhat disadvantageous,
not at all relevant to who he is
and certainly none of Congress's business.

This difference, I think, gives us a dictum:
you don’t see a crime if you don't like the victim.
