Defend her for what? Creating an incident in the retelling of something that was carried out by consenting adults, something that was none of her business and to which she was not a party? I don't think that anyone was in danger of being physically injured by an automobile operated by a drunken driver. So if you want to compare crimes here Bush may not come off so well.

The real crisis of the whole Lewinsky affair was not the acts committed so much as the subsequent coverup. (Again an interesting parallel, don't you think?)

As to the embarrassment of Clinton, that turned out to be chump change to the trouble he brought upon himself for lying about the affair. Bush too, would have been embarrassed perhaps years before, but didn't ever disclose it. When it was disclosed as I said was under his control. It was a test he flunked.
