Moronic article. There are at least 454 White House staffers and this guy was pretty low on the totem pole. It’s hard to believe anybody with serious work to do had any time at all for him. Nothing like JFK and Marilyn — or even JFK and Lem Billings.
I agree this is not a helpful article, but for different reasons.
First, Monica Lewinsky was a low-level person as well. Sometimes powerful people are attracted to other powerful people (JFK and Marilyn Monroe, for example.) Other times, powerful people want to use, abuse, and manipulate low-level people who won't talk, or who won't be believed if they do talk. Just how many young interns have mothers who are so perverted that they advise their daughter to keep semen-stained dresses to prove sexual involvement if needed? Bill Clinton would have gotten away with what he did with Monica Lewinski, just as he probably had done with many other women, if it hadn't been for the fact that he finally met his match in somebody even more worldly than himself.
Second, and more important, all of these rumors about Barack Obama being a closeted homosexual are not helpful in defeating him two months from now. Maybe he's homosexual. Maybe he's not. Barring something really radical, we're not going to be able to prove it either way before the November elections, and focusing on this kind of thing risks making us look like conspiracy theorists or people who are grasping at straws because we don't care about facts. Let's focus on his open-and-out positions on economic issues, national defense issues, and social issues — including his pro-homosexual policies — things about which there is no doubt where he stands and what he has done.
