Then I would ask if that was the case, why doesn't the boss come forward and say so? Trying to think like a Clintonista for a second (because it is too nauseating to do it for longer than that) I would say your better answer would have been your old stand by. No one has proved the boss had sex with the intern nor is anyone in jail. As we all know despite mounds of evidence (Tripp tapes, Monica's proffered testimony, Secret Service testimony directly contradicting Clinton's version of the facts, etc.) unless the level of proof reaches metaphysical certainty, we can not hold a liberal accountable for a lack of character or even potentially criminal behavior.

<<What if the intern was the one with the idea and the wife was in on it?>> So? Don't you think it is appropriate to weigh heavily the power disparity between a CEO and an intern? Isn't it analogous to a teacher and a student? If the student makes advances to the teacher, should the teacher succumb or resist? Courts have ruled that the power disparity is a key element of the appropriateness of these relationships. And with interns, there is the added element of in loco parentis that may have been violated. So in light of this discussion, how can one defend a 50 year old married CEO having sex with a 21 year old intern?
