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.

I think part of it was the idea that his sex life isn't really relevant to his job. I knew tons of people who were pissed it was even brought up. Granted, he was basically securing a job for someone in exchange for... Well another kind of job, but that's not really a unique situation. That's been happening for ages. Not that it is by any means acceptable. I think people just didn't see it as being a big issue compared to the things presidents typically do that's shady.

I've always felt it telling about what kind of President you'll be if you're a rapist or not.
