position of trying to defend? Sure, the Repubs were hypocritical beyond belief and in the end, they were so nasty and despicable, not to mention Larry Flint's exposure of several of their OWN sexual exploits just about everyone had had enough of all of them, and Clinton lucked out that his enemies were by far much worse than someone who clearly was a cheating spouse.

Frankly though, I don't and didn't care about their personal business. But his choice to hand so much ammunition to his enemies caused his friends and wife to be in a position they never wanted to be in.

Meanwhile, what bothers me more, and is even a worse 'scandal' is the legislation he was getting passed while we were all distracted by the garbage he made possible by his irresponsible actions.

And to make things worse, after fighting in his defense against Bush Bots for years afterwards, he and Hillary turned out to be BFF with the Bush Dynasty.

Last time I will defend a politician who clearly does something wrong.
