Re “Reviving a Question: ‘What About Bill?,’ ” by Peter Baker (Washington Memo, Nov. 16):

I am a left-wing Democrat, and yet it’s hard for me to be surprised by the near-comical denials of conservative and evangelical Alabamians concerning Roy Moore. For years, I’ve witnessed so many of my fellow progressives giving a sheepish pass to the unseemly antics of Bill Clinton.

Perhaps its high time all of us — on the right and left — demanded appropriate behavior from our respective champions.
