Clinton and Monica set the tone. Monica has been richly rewarded by the liberal establishment for being a slut and these two are simply following suit.
Clinton was indiscreet and got caught. Don't imagine for even one minute that this hasn't been going on in Washington since the time of the Founding Fathers. Republicans are just as bad (though they tend to be smarter about it).
Republican Hill staffers tend to fall into one of two categories: holy-roller Jesus types and drunken frat boy/sorority girls.
I love this town.
