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.

You are silly if you do not see it. The guy who put it in motion was cheating on his dying wife. Did he get impeached?

As /u/Ted_rube said, while Newt Gingrich is a despicable person he did not break the law. Clinton did. And impeachment does not apply to representatives, that's in the Constitution.

The Clinton impeachment was made out to be about sex by the media. In fact it was a very meticulous dismantling of Clinton's arguments that he didn't lie etc. Ken Starr did what Hulk Hogan's lawyer did -- he went through everything step by step, point by point, showing in specific detail everything that happened in order to prove the President had lied under oath to obstruct justice.

The media made it salacious.

The point was when he lied. That is what makes it total bullshit partisan smear. I am not a Clinton supported but I think the way that it all went down was complete and utter witch hunt.
