> \*\*I dunno if this “creeps me out,” but it sure as hell bothers me–the way everyone is all, “Oh, poor, sweet, beautiful innocent Chandra Levy. That awful congressman misled her and hurt her and broke her heart and now she’s dead. Poor girl.” But when Monica Lewinsky had an affair with Clinton, the general public opinion is that she was a crazy, manipulative, trashy whore who was dumb to think Clinton would leave his wife, and she got exactly what she deserved, and even more than that, she’s fat.

I think it’s because Bill Clinton, like Reagan before him, has charisma and it doesn’t stick. Also part of it is Clinton was nationally elected, and people don’t want to admit they voted for a lying adulterous scumbag. Condit is locally elected, so everyone outside his district can condemn him without guilt.
