discipline, but otherwise he is wholly responsible for what he did.
My point is, it wasn't right maritally, but it wasn't a big deal
either.
The teenager argument is moot as these were both adults in a
consensual relationship. Is it bad if a Doctor marries a nurse if
they previously worked together? How about a pilot and flight
attendant?
The only way this would've been ethically wrong, from a workplace
point of view, is if Mr. Clinton had pressured her with threats. She
has said in many interviews that it was actually her that pressured
him for the relationship.
In either case, 2 adults in a consensual relationship is not ethically wrong.
I think it's not a good idea to date people you work with, especially
is there's a direct report relationship, but I've seen it in every job
I've had. People are people.
We'd like our leaders to be more disciplined than us, but should we
indict them for being human?

You're claiming Clinton was the victim, he was the
President and she was an intern. He was an authority
figure and used it to take advantage, like a teacher
and a teenage student. It's wrong.
Then you say it doesn't compare to bilking millions of
people out of their retirement.
How did you get here from there?
So you're trying to blame Bush for WorldCom and Enron?
That happened on Clintons watch and he's mainly
responsible. Ken Lay asked his friend Bush for the
same favors Clinton was giving him and was told to
take a hike. Then the shit hit the fan. So you can
only blame the current admin for not perpetuating the
scandal.
