”Clinton was quite popular in the rest of the world (as he was in this country). He was highly regarded for his intellect. The Europeans were baffled by the big deal that was made about the Lewinsky affair. They didn't think it merited such a huge reaction.”

I am baffled as to why anyone would continue to promote Bill Clinton as anything worthy of admiration. Or, why after all is said and done his legacy would be reduced to a “huge reaction over the Lewinsky affair.”

Clinton’s legacy is muddled not by one but by numerous allegations of abuse of authority, a tendency to dishonor with regards to personal character, a wit and cleverness that was most noted when expressed in subtle deceit, violations of oath and of personal loyalties, promotion of elitism and entitlement at the expense of principle.

I generally try to avoid comments on the personal characteristics of politicians but clinton made it personal for all of us through his attempts at collusion of citizenry. Had we agreed to look the other way when he used his office to destroy the lives of citizens we would be guilty as accomplices ... actually those of you who tried to get us to look the other way are.

That women swooned, the media fawned, or the world embraced him is no surprise and not necessarily a compliment to any of them/you.
