The Scandal Made Me Famous ep on Lewinski really brought home to me how appallingly bad Clinton's judgment was in going forward with the affair. Monica was far too emotional, reckless, irrational and incautious to be even remotely plausible as a 'candidate' for anything sexual. That Bill 'did the calculation' and decided the reward (quickie orgasms) merited the risk is absolutely stunning. I can only imagine 'vast' prior experience led him to feel he could control this one too, and to do so adequately. Giving Monica a copy of Whitman's Leaves of Grass delineates a further appalling lapse on his part in thinking he could manipulate/toy with her feelings with impunity. And while he paid dearly for it, the entire episode is just sickening regardless.
And then there is Linda Tripp . . .
I don't know what to say about her. Srsly, I have no words.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
