No, Triluminary, I am not saying I would accept the arrangement, necessarily. Ten million dollars is a lot--it would radically change my life. But in order to justify sleeping with Bill Clinton for that amount of money, first of all I would have to be at least somewhat attracted to him. In other words, it would need to be a pleasant experience, not a really gross one. Then, my husband would also have to feel comfortable with the idea, after he had mulled it over for awhile and we had considered all the ramifications. Then I would give away a lot of the money, to somehow help abused and neglected children, because that is my main charitable interest.
But as long as I was honest in my marriage, had a reasonably fun time, and could do a lot of good with the money--aside from investing my share of it so that my family could have secure, comfortable lives--I would at least consider it.
I do think that there is a more important issue here though, and that is what Janice was talking about when she would not compromise her professional ethics for a luxury weekend in Geneva. Everyone has their own code of ethics, and there are many, many things I simply could not do for any amount of money, especially hurt anyone. Having sex with someone once just does not fall into my own category of really horrible sins, and I do have such a list, a long one.
And I'm sure Michael was joking, but really, I think a lot of women AND men would have sex with Bill Clinton once for $10,000,000.
