I understand that...it is sadly, among some (certainly not all) a common thing.
I am commenting more on Putin than the girl. I mean Monica Lewinsky was an adult too and chose the path that was opened to her. That does not mean that Clinton did not take abject advantage of a younger, more naive person for his own gratification, and that what he did in the matter was not wrong both morally and ethically.
What Putin did fits the same mold. Just another place, another face. But the base motivations are the same...on both sides.
“That does not mean that Clinton did not take abject advantage of a younger, more naive person for his own gratification”
Alas, I hold that she was not in the least reluctant to engage in sex with Clinton. I have always believed Clinto should have been hanged for the Lewinski affair. Not for having sex with a younger efamle, or a subordinate, but the following reason.
When a practiced bedhopper who happens to be the most powerful man on earth chooses a chubby, slutty JAP, a case can be made that such poor taste (not to mention poor judgment) rises to the level of a hang offense. Hang him for bad taste.
Bill Clinton was no Kennedy when it came to taste in women.
