Joseph Farah, of the Western Journalism Center decided to analyze this statement, believing it is indicative of the kind of rationalization Clinton is hearing from his minister. According to Farah, "The president appears to be changing tactics again. First he and his aides adamantly denied everything. Now, as is characteristic, they seem to be...admitting to something:"

    But is this statement true? You judge:

    "Pretty straightforward. How does Bill Clinton measure up on this one? While it's true that only God can judge a man's sins, mortals are commanded to associate themselves with righteous people and condemn sin where we see it. Personally, I think Clinton worships false gods. Which ones? Power. Government. Himself. So, Jesse, there goes another string on that guitar."

    "Clinton probably thinks he's safe here. As far as anyone knows, there are no idols in the White House. He's not worshipping some golden calf in the Oval Office. But, particularly with the latest brainstorm from his vice president about continuous video coverage of the earth from space, we are reminded about this administration's tendency to worship the planet - toinvest in it certain spiritual characteristics. Whoops! There goes another string."

    "You may not have heard it with your own ears, but sources close to the president say that he does just this when he blows his top - which, with all that's going on around him these days, is fairly often. Pluck! Another string."

    "Well, you say, Clinton does go to church on Sunday. We see him frequently emerging from a house of worship, Bible in hand. But he also admits to frequently working seven days a week. Whoops! Not a good example, Bill. We're running out of strings on this here guitar."

    "Though some would argue, the point, let's give him this one."

    "We've all heard about the unusually high body counts surrounding this administration. But let's not get into any conspiracy-mongering here. At least let's save it for another day. Instead, I want to remind you of the most tragic day in the history of this administration (besides the two Inaugurations). I refer to April 19, 1993. That's the day more than 80 men, women and children were gunned down and/or incinerated by this administration's storm troopers in their Waco, Texas, church-home. Clinton blamed his underling Janet Reno, but that's no excuse - especially since she continues to serve as attorney general. No string here."

    "What can I say? Even the president's own spiritual adviser says this string is missing from his guitar."

    "Whitewater. Castle Grande. Cattle futures. Enough said? Pluck."

    "Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Linda Tripp, Gennifer Flowers, etc., etc. Pluck."

    "Of course, Shelia Lawrence comes to mind for starters. But there's a larger issue when it comes to covetousness. Isn't this the very basis of the president's class warfare program of increasingly high "progressive" taxes? When he wins office by promising to take from the "rich" to give to the "poor," isn't this the very definition of covetousness? Everytime he swears not to give another tax break to the rich, isn't he really practicing the politics of envy?

    "One string left. Not much of a guitar, Jesse. Better stick to the saxophone, Bill."
