What went on between 'that woman, Miss Lewinsky,' and Slick Willie was a lot of things, none of them good, but it was not an abuse of power.

If we can believe Monica's own contemporaneous testimony, she pursued Slick, not the other way around. She was the one snapping her thong at him.

Nor was it an "affair," as it is called in the article.

While that may be true, if it was any run of the mill CEO, they would’ve been out on their ass.

It's irrelevant who pursued whom. The disparity in power between the two of them makes it an abuse of power. You think she would have pursued him if he was working a McDonald's counter?

The man was a serial predator who used his power to get sex. That's why he assumed Paula Jones would service him at the drop of his trousers.

"She was the one snapping her thong at him. "

Would that be the "snapping thong" exception to the prohibition against sex in the workplace?

Who, besides BJ Clinton, would not have been fired for such a thing?

I'm pretty sure that Monica could have obtained an unpaid intern position at lots of places. The reason she chose the White House is because of the power of the Presidency. That was Clinton's bait. Landing Monica was an abuse of that power.
