This is just plain insulting to Ms. Lewinsky.
How exactly did Mr. Clinton have "so much power and influence"? She
was an intern, not a political appointee. Mr. Clinton's influence
derived from the fact that Ms. Lewinsky admired him and became
infatuated for him.
Mr. Clinton would hardly be the first man or woman to manipulate
someone who had a crush on him. Further, Ms. Lewinsky knew exactly
what she was doing and could've stopped at any time. In fact,
considering Mr. Clinton's impeachment, it could be argued that it was
Ms. Lewinsky that really had the power.
In any event, that's not to say that Mr. Clinton acted honorably, but
this kind of offense is hardly comparable to bilking millions of
people out of their retirement. In America in the 50s this type of
thing was a "boys will be boys" event and still is in Europe.
For some reason Americans have a real fascination with other's private
relationships.
