My friend and I were just talking, and it suddenly occurred to us that Bill Clinton’s member is one of the most talked about penis in the history of western civilization, and yet the length of his junk has not been publicized. I can’t imagine Monica wouldn’t have wanted to share that information with Linda Tripp, no matter how big his monster was. Why is it not common knowledge? A vaginal drenched cigar was.  
Thank you.

Reminds me of the scene in _The American President_, when the prez, before hopping in the sack with Anette Bening, tells her that his being the most powerful man in the world is a political distinction, and no expectations of carnal performance should be based on that.

I do recall the white house press secy telling the press corps that:

“in regards to size, length, and other attributes, the president is a perfectly normal man”.  
something like that.  
no cite.

I would guess that, like most men, his penis was of approximately average size, and was therefore considered unremarkable by those who had experience of it.

Although Paula Jones did allege that it had an usual shape. I don’t know if that was ever confirmed or denied by independent sources.

I believe Paula Jones did say something about a bend to the right. Which may or may not have anything to do with his governance. A bend is a sign of Peyronie’s disease. I also seem to remember (I’m looking for a cite but can’t find one) that a physical exam did not show any signs of Peyronie’s disease, and at some point she demanded an exam of his genitals while he was aroused. This was denied.

Didn’t David Brock admit to making up that tidbit?

I once heard an excerpt from Gennifer Flowers’ book read on a TV talk show (maybe Donahue?)

It described BC as, “an enthusiastic if not especially well-endowed lover”.

Yeah, I remember the Flowers thing, too. Something akin to “Not all that large but he makes up for it with energy!”

Nitpick: “one of the most talked about penises” or “penes”

It ain’t the size that matters.

Wouldn’t that have made a great picture on the cover of the Washington POST?

I can’t think of a good caption right off HAND though, I’m sure there will be many to COME.

Maybe … Wee Willie’s Woody

Never said it did – I was merely providing information tangentially addressing the OP (namely, that the question had apparently been made publically answered).

But this guy is pleased to report that for some women, it does indeed matter. 😉

No, dammit – I _specifically_ proof-read to make sure that that wasn’t what I posted – it woulda been too damn embarrassing. (And you can betcherlife I proofed that last word there).
