And you are fucking wrong as shit. I thought Bill Clinton's actions were disgusting. I blamed him, not Lewinsky. And it has shit all to do with sex or sexism.

I thought all three were political opportunistic phonies. I though they were hypocrites of the first water, using progressive issues to advance their careers.

So, dear, you couldn't be more wrong. Congrats on that.
