>> But I had to wonder why it was so blown (pun intended) so out of proportion to the offense. The offense was tantamount to rape. Lewinsky was a weak 22 year old being taken advantage of by the most powerful man in the world. There is a strong body of evidence that shows that power in such a relationship is essentially like a date-rape drug. Now, I knew 21 year olds when I was younger who had been around, and I wouldn't say that about them. But Lewinsky was infatuated with Clinton and the man wasn't much of a man; he was more of an adolescent. And, of course, there were the prior rape and groping incidents which came to light.
