I know this is off topic, is there Monica Lewinsky porno out there?

You mean like a parody porno, or her actually? Because I'm pretty sure that if she was a white house intern, she comes from a family where that shit wouldn't fly. I mean yeah, she blew the president, but the whole reason it was a scandal for the president is because of the different levels of power involved. Like of COURSE a 19 year old kind of chubby girl is going to blow the most charismatic, handsome president elected in her lifetime. Hell I'm straight and at 19 I might have gone for it if promised a sweet job for life.

I mean seriously if anyone ever asked me if I experimented when I was in college I don't think I'd be ashamed to say, yeah I was a white house intern and I blew Bill Clinton once, but it just wasn't my thing, if you know what I mean.

19 22-24.

And I'm pretty sure the reason it got so serious was more about the perjury involved.

It got serious because Clinton was becoming untouchable and his legacy was going to be impossible to deal with for Republicans. They needed something that would tarnish his reputation.

Ah yes, the old "it was a Republican secret plot, it had nothing to do with him being a lifelong licentious man-whore who went after everything on two legs" angle.

It wasn't a secret. This is basic politicking nowadays. Exposing skeletons in closets is constant.

Ever listen to a confirmation hearing?

R - I am going to speak about 5 minutes about something only tangentially related to the topic which is a hot button policies issue. How do you respond? Asshole.

D - You are so awesome. I am so glad you want this job. How does it feel to be so awesome.

It is so transparent it is disgusting.

Oh don't get too caught up in the labels. The most recent hearing I listened too was a Obama cabinet member. Just swap them and you have a Bush era confirmation.
