Abstract

Americans began to discover who their president really is as the media reported every last detail of special prosecutor Kenneth Starr's report at the weekend of Sep. 12, 1998. Americans are particularly disgusted by the pattern of deceit revealed by the Starr report. They are angered by Pres. Bill Clinton's selfishness in lying to one of his senior spin doctors, Sidney Blumenthal. He told Blumenthal that Monica Lewinsky was threatening him and behaving 'like a stalker' because he had rebuffed her. The way in which Clinton uses word-play to avoid telling the truth also arouses public hostility.
