Unbelievably stupid admission

No, it's brilliant.

What got Clinton in trouble: His escapades, or his attempts to spin/deny/lie/coverup about it?

[B Knotts]

You are correct. Now that the story is out there, the way to deal with it is head on. Tell the truth, and let the chips fall where they may.

[KevinDavis]

That is true, had Arnold lied about it and then later found it was true, well then my opinion of him would go down. Clinton should have just said yes I did have a relationship with that girl that would have been the end of it.

Like heck it is. Once you "admit" to something, more outrageous charges follow and any denial of those seems disingenuous. Where theres smoke theres fire. The media takes no prisoners

... I think hes screwed

What got Clinton in trouble:

I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.

I did have unappropriate sexual relations with Miss Lewinsky

He handled it the same way Bush did with the DUI and it's admirable to be honest, to not play games with it. And he also indicated the story was exaggerated.

Yes, but you must realize that the latest allegations were only 3 YEARS ago!! ARNOLD has a CURRENT PROBLEM here folks. Ask anyone with knowledge about sexual additions and they will tell you this! Look at the time line! This has been going on for a long time, and I would even go out on a limb to say, WILL GO ON,( as in Clinton) even AFTER ELECTED.These aren't " foolish , youthful mistakes" , these are actions committed( HE ADMITS IT NOW) by a ADULT!!
