Because it was about sex?
Sure. As long as sex = perjury and obstruction of justice.
Because it was about sex?
No. Because the early 1970s were a different time. Most of us never had cause to believe that the major media lied or covered up or took sides. This was a time when we (or me, anyway) really bought their story of the camelot/St John F. Kennedy myth and they portrayed Richard Nixon as the first president in our lifetime who was touched by scandal.
So says the OLD MEDIA/"friends" of the Clintons. It was about lying and threatening people. I don't care what the Clinton phycos/OLD MEDIA says.
