Actually, that is a canard that has been thrown around by the Democrats. Eisenhower's supposed affair was pure speculation. Some had affairs, some didn't, but few were womanizers, and none were so reckless about initiating an affair with a subordinate in the White House, with the possible exception of JFK. Even Kennedy was never under oath about it, or responsible for a cover up. This business about "everyone doing it" is a pretense at being knowing. For example, the last major sex survey showed that less than a quarter of men had cheated on their wives. The one before that said about 40%. There have been claims of as much as 70%. No one knows for sure, and certainly no one can say that they "all do it". Similarly for presidents: Many have not even been accused of any kind of illicit affair; of those who have, there is frequently doubt about whether or not it happened or was ever consummated; and only a handful are known to be womanizers (i.e., guys who screwed around alot). But the final point is that none, until Clinton, was in a position to defraud the court over it.
