Disclaimer: Bill Clinton is the second lowest POS to ever occupy the White House.
BUT I believe he tried to shield Monica from the press when he claimed he had not had sexual relations with her. It blew up in his face when the blue dress showed up but still think he tried to do the right thing.
I am forced to disagree with that point.
Bill Clinton did nothing that did not benefit Bill Clinton.
I will agree with you on what you said last...because by the time the truth was coming out, he had been beaten on so bad by EVERYBODY, that he probably felt his last salvation was to throw himself under the bus.
His pathetic attempts to shield her only made him look worse...particularly when he made the statement "that woman", in such a disparagingly way.
I think that moment, along with the finger wag, lost every woman that had ever leaned the least bit his way and made any man sympathetic to him see him for the two-bit lying piece of crap that he was.
And of course, the fact that Monica was shown to truly be the simpering, pudgy, starry-eyed sycophant she was, made it that much more of a conundrum for him.
So even when Bill Clinton tries to do the right thing, it bites him right in the ass.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
He is third on my list of worst. presidents. ever., right behind Barky and Jimmah.
