Look at this from the viewpoint that the activities with Monica Lewinsky had nothing in the way of sexual harassment. This was pretty clear by the time they had interviewed her. Whatever it was, it certainly wasn't involuntary on Lewinsky's part. Dear gentlefolk, President William Jefferson Clinton got re-elected to second term with a wide margin of the vote. He was notorious for his sexual adventures.
More stories come out everyday.
The problem is that most people are so used to immorality and dishonesty in our politicians, we just look at the degree. Clinton's approval ratings are high - and most people really don't care about his sexual gymnastics. In this instance, if left alone, Citizen Clinton's sexual adventures would not have affected us at all. However it did. It infected our daily newspapers, radio reports, our very lives.
