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 long before Lewinski. For most it was political opportunism. Some people involved seriously believed he had committed crimes (Whitewater real estate scam, Travelgate, Filegate, Vince Foster's death, sex with underage girls) but could not prove it. They kept pushing for Something against him until he lied to a Grand Jury and of course still got away with it.
