59. I think you miss the point
Without Lewinski and the "stained blue dress" the entire Blowjobgate story that led to impeachment would have gone "down the rabbit hole".

Whether we like it or not, "sex sells". That is the secret ingredient that has been missing from all of these * scandals, and believe me, the stench from those scandals would knock a fly off a shit-wagon.

Enron - not sexy enough
Halliburton - not sexy enough
bribed jounalist (three so far) - not sexy enough
WMD - not sexy enough
52 FAA warnings - not sexy enough
torturegate - a little sexy, but not quite there
Mediscare bribery - not sexy enough
and on and on and on and on,

But.....throw in a male prostitute in his "tighty-whiteys" throwing softball questions to the pResident, hooking up with the Swift Boaters, knob-hobbing, or hob-knobbing with the POTUS....well the media might just pay attention to THAT!

It's sick, but unless there is the possibility of a penis in someone's mouth, the media will just let it disappear.

WHAT DO WE TELL THE CHILDREN??????
