Clinton got away with things that Nixon was nearly impeached for just talking about doing it. Power corrupts, I guess.
You're treading on Lord Acton's turf, my friend. Just last night I was doing a little reading on the presidency of Warren G. Harding, and thought to myself, "OK, comparisons to the Nixon administration are clear, but what about Clinton?"
To quote Chris Rock, from Saturday Night Live:
Know why I like Clinton? Because he's got real problems. He don't got president problems, he got real problems like you and me, like running out of money, his wife's a pain in the ass, all his friends are going to jail.
Sounds like Harding to me! The difference is that Harding was regarded as the worst president ever in his day; Clinton is still a demigod.

“Sounds like Harding to me! The difference is that Harding was regarded as the worst president ever in his day; Clinton is still a demigod.”
Sir John Harrington comes to mind, too. I’m confident the Hsu matter won’t sink Hillary for Harrington’s reason.
The corruption has always been there, but we didn’t use to tolerate it so.
