I have never seen even a shred of evidence that the sex act between Clinton and Lewinsky was non consensual.

Sensible people will recognize that there can be no "consensual" sex between the most powerful man in the free world and a 21-year old intern. Consensual sex in these circumstances simply doesn't exist, due to the imbalance of power and experience between them.

It is sexual assault by any reasonable standard. Keeping in mind the victim was less than 2 years older than the Bush twins who are too young to be served alcohol. It is not a fair contest. While Ms. Lewinsky should have known not to put herself in the circumstances, there is NO WAY she could have envisioned what happened. It was totally reasonable for her to assume that the President of the United States would not sexually assault her. Of course, she didn't know Clinton & his history. Interestingly, after it was all over, even SHE didn't realize what had happened.

I'm still waiting on Linda Tripp, Kathleen Willy, Paula Jones, and the other lady here in Arkansas (can't remember her name) to get the "Profile in Courage" award. If ANYONE ever deserved it, it is that group...
