That's not at all what I am doing.......what I am suggesting is that it takes two to tango but the right is all too willing to put the full blame on Clinton and portray the women he fools with as innocent, shrinking violets who had no idea he wanted to stick his big dawg into their bodies and when they found out that was his intent, they were overcome with the vapors. Not only is it misogynist but its just plain ridiculous.


A complete misrepresentation of my views. It's clear that Monica was infatuated with Bill. She has never said otherwise. What you still fail to recognize is that, not only was their a huge power disparity between Bill and Monica, it is quite possibly the greatest power disparity that could exist in a work environment. Monica's willingness has nothing to do with this. This is about the President of the United States of America capitalizing on the infatuation of a 23 year old girl. He was the most powerful man in the world and he didn't have the common sense to find a woman who was a little older and who would be discreet. Did he really expect a 23 year old girl to keep it a secret that she was intimate with the POTUS? If he did expect that, then you are clearly overestimating his intelligence. If he didn't expect her to be discreet, then his arrogance makes him unsuitable for the office. Either way, he doesn't deserve a pass. If he was going to go into Slick Willy mode, he should have chosen Kathleen Sebelius or Elena Kagan or Janet Napolitano....in other words, a woman who was closer to his station in life and who would have something to lose by going public.

What Clinton does with his marriage is between Bill and Hillary.
Incorrect, what he does while the POTUS matters. I am not dinging him for infidelity. I am pointing out that for simple national security purposes, it is a big red flag that he doesn't have the common sense to avoid a 23 year old intern. This is further amplified by the fact that his actions created a sexually hostile work environment for women. You should care about these things.
