Reply #53: I don't hate them, but then there was the Lewinsky affair

[Alcibiades]

It showed a shocking lack of judgment (much like Edwards' affair.) To think that such a thing will go unnoticed when you're in the national spotlight and the media is out to get you, just boggles the mind.

I also didn't like the way Bill Clinton hung that poor girl out to dry. When a married man has an affair with a woman 30 years his junior, he is the one who is morally culpable. The way he went on television and called her "that woman" was just despicable. It completely derailed his presidency. Clinton could have accomplished much more, had he not been sidetracked by the whole mess in Congress. Meanwhile, he lied to his Democratic supporters. One day, we were supposed to defend him and his denials. The next, after he found out she saved she dress with the matching pearl adornments, we were supposed to spew out the party line that this was a private matter, between a husband, his wife, and an attractive young woman. If the Clintons want to keep their marital arrangements private, they should retire somewhere quiet.

Bleeech. I don't want Bill Clinton and his many girlfriends anywhere near this administration.
