I agree with you to an extent, but had certain republicans and democrats not even made Lewinsky an issue, (Remember Condit was one of Bubbas harshest critics) they would have had much more success. but they seized on the Lewinsky perjury issue to make more political hay, and ended up getting burned by the revelations about Newt, Hyde and Livingston. It made them all look like hypocrites in the eyes of the uninformed majority of Americans and they lost all credibility with them.

You keep saying the same thing over and over. Do you not understand the extent to which the Democrats control the media? Here's a direct quote from Peggy Noonan:

Last summer at the political conventions, a person long respected on Capitol Hill, a former Democratic operative, told me that conservatives all complain about liberal bias in the networks, but we don't know the half of it. He told me that I couldn't imagine how closely the Democrats work with the media. "I'm a socialist, I don't give a damn," he said. (He didn't actually say "damn," but this is a family newspaper's Web site.) But he was amazed that conservatives complain so much and know so little. - 'Give Him a Peabody' 4/6/2001

It was "about sex" because the Democrat media made it so, just as the Republicans "shut down the government" in 1995, when in reality it was Clinton that shut down the government by refusing to sign the spending bills which would continue the flow of money:

The shutdown was triggered Monday night when Clinton vetoed legislation necessary to maintain regular government spending, saying he did so because it would have raised Medicare premiums. A White House meeting that lasted until the midnight hour failed to resolve the impasse.

Earlier, he vetoed a measure necessary to extend government borrowing authority, citing provisions he said would restrict Rubin's ability to manage the government's finances. Despite the uncertainty, the financial markets reacted calmly to the events in Washington. - from 1995

==============================

I had to dig to find that clear statement just above. Much of the mainstream media representation is fogged with the Clintonite spin about the Republicans being the responsible parties.

Show me your proof of this statement. Otherwise, I call it liberal media pony poop.
