Sixteen years ago?????? Um, no it wouldn't bother me that he used a naughty word 16 years ago.
Shhhhh, don't tell anyone, but even I've said a few bad words from time to time... yes, Normie-the-sweetie, grandmotherly figure to one and all... and it was more recently than 16 years ago.
This is a side bar question: but wasn't that perjury? Shouldn't he have went to jail? I was only about 16/17 when this happened so I didn't follow it too closely but I always wondered why nothing happened to him....
The whole thing was political. That's why nothing happened. They caught him on a "gotcha" which normally would not have led to anything -- but they managed to embarrass him politically which was what they wanted.
During those dark days, the spectre of the president of the US allowing, or expecting his young female subordinates to provide sexual favor, in the midst of the sexual harrassment fights of the women's movement, was truly shocking. It was not really affairs, it was on the job that bothered me, the power divide, etc. He put us back many years in a struggle that continues to this day.
What was even worse was him partaking with Monica while on the phone discussing business with a member of congress. Yes we want to forget it but had Hillary gotten the nomination it would have been prime time.

Yes seriously who really knows what secrets he shared with Monica?
Do you live in the REAL world? If so, have you never noticed that there's at least one young gal in the office who flirts non-stop with the old male boss and is likely sleeping with him? Sorry, but the fact remains that there ARE unscrupulous women who lack self-esteem and excellent credentials who are quite willing to offer their favors to powerful men.
And while I won't speak badly about Ted Kennedy since he is ill, just ponder all of the Kennedy worship and how badly nearly all of the men in that family behaved. Dems don't like to talk about that, though, do they? Jack Kennedy basically turned the White House into a bordello.
yes there are always young women who know that they can make a good thing better, but the judgement of a president in the office, when he had such potential, has always angered me. It was the betrayal to his supporters who were denied the fulfillment of what could have been a great presidency had he been able to keep it together for those eight years. I was not a supporter of President Clinton and never voted for him, but even I felt betrayed by his lack of respect for the supporters. Does John Kennedy's bad behavior somehow absolve Bill Clinton per your last paragraph?
No kidding, huh? What's funny is that this faux outrage comes from the people who insist there's been no problem with sexism in this election. Only racism.
How does "angry woman" come to being anywhere near as offensive as the b-word?
I cant believe that some of the same people who pride themselves on Clinton's abilities as an intelligent woman citing how she's broken all kinds of glass ceilings, would actually attempt to rationalize such a horrible comment.
There is no excuse and no matter how you try to justify this, he degraded her and strong women everywhere.
But I suppose that's okay right, so long as Barack Obama or anyone in his campaign didnt say that, then there'd be a big problem.

Oh and I am a strong woman but I do not believe Hillary is good for this country!
She also has not broken any glass ceilings for women if anything she has hurt us! What she has done is skirted by and around the issues with rhetoric!

But the fact remains, regardless as to what she did, that doesnt excuse what some McCain groupee said about her on national tv.
