The big difference is Ken Starr had the majority party backing his actions (and no, I didn't support the Republicans doing it either). Congress has to call for a special prosecutor to launch an investegation, and Mr. Flip Flop aside, I don't see much groundswell from the Democrats, let alone the Republicans. Kerry's doing this to grandstand. Sadly, as much as he promised he wouldn't, lately he's resorted to the 'stolen election', 'disenfranchised voters', 'we didn't lose' hate rhetoric. I guess an ego that big must be soothed somehow.
