Below is                    Slate                's entire scorecard, which ranks 31 of Flytrap's key players: The scale runs from -10 to +10. Anything less than zero means the player is a net miscreant. Anything above zero rates a sympathy card. (This is not, of course, an exact science. How, for example, do we judge Ann Lewis compared to other last ditch Clinton defenders? Lewis is said to be more outraged by Clinton's misbehavior than The Guys in the White House. Yet Lewis didn't quit in disgust. Is her outrage a plus or a minus if she doesn't act on it? You decide.) The Scorecard Bill Clinton (The public's rating: -6 ) Minuses: To recapitulate a) Had an adulterous affair with a young intern. b) Lied about it to everyone . c) Probably perjured himself. g) Did not have the grace to apologize to Lewinsky. h)Tried to shift the blame for his failures onto his accusers. Pluses: Slate                 rating-- He never asked for our sympathy, and he doesn't deserve it: -9 Dick Morris (The public's rating: -6 ) Minuses: a) Encouraged Clinton's most deplorable habits: lying and polling. (When Clinton revealed his adultery to Morris, the political consultant immediately took a poll to see how America would respond to a Clinton admission. When the results suggested Americans would be angry if Clinton had perjured himself, Morris encouraged Clinton to deny the affair.) b) Further sullied the Clintons with a revolting comment suggesting that Clinton cheats because Hillary is a lesbian. c) Not even loyal enough to keep his mouth shut. Pluses: I cannot think of any. Slate                 rating: -7 Linda Tripp (The public's rating: -7 ) Minuses: Pluses: a) Whistleblower (see d under Minuses): risked humiliation to expose something she believed was wrong. b) Smeared mercilessly by Clinton allies, the media. Slate                 rating: -7 James Carville (The public's rating: -1 ) b) Consistent in attacks against Starr.

Slate                 rating: -4 Sidney Blumenthal (The public's rating: -3 ) Minuses: a) Consistent in belief that Starr is an ideologue and that the sex charges are political. b) Loyal.

Slate                 rating: -2 Monica Lewinsky (The public's rating: -9 ) Minuses: Pluses: a) Sexually exploited by her older boss. b) Had her reputation smeared by Clintonistas and the media. c) Betrayed by Linda Tripp. d) Dragged into the scandal against her will. Slate                 rating: -2 Mike McCurry (The public's rating: +2 ) Minuses: Slate                 rating: -1 David Kendall (The public's rating: 0 ) Minuses: a) Relying on iffy legalisms to help Clinton escape trouble is his job.

Jesse Jackson (The public's rating: +2 ) Minuses: b) Did not demand any political compensation in exchange. Slate                 rating: -1 Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga. (The public's rating: -5 ) Minuses: Pluses: a) Consistent throughout the scandal: He has been pushing impeachment since before Monica materialized in January. Slate                 rating: 0 Kenneth Starr (The public's rating: -9 ) Minuses: b) Is compelled by law to investigate diligently and forcefully. c) Has been patient with the stonewalling, deceiving Clinton.

Pluses: a) Urged Clinton early on to come clean. b) Had good sense to leave the White House before corrupting himself. Slate                 rating: +1 Hillary Clinton (The public's rating: +4 ) Minuses: a) Knew what a lech he was, yet always protected him. b) May have always known truth about Lewinsky, yet still lied to protect Bill. a) Stayed loyal. b) Did not take advantage of scandal to burnish his own image.

Slate                 rating: +2 The Clinton Cabinet (The public's rating: +2 ) Minuses: Pluses: a) Were conscripted unwillingly into scandal defense.
