But this much is clear: the dems are playing politics with this just like the reps did with the Clinton "bimbo eruptions". That said, one story about a high school drinking party isn't nearly as damning as the Clinton stuff. The timing shows it as a desperate attempt to delay the inevitable.
The idea that "all accusers should be believed" is just as silly as the opposite. We have due process and such in our criminal justice system, I like to think that it works most of the time.
