What do you think happened, he tripped and fell into Monica’s face? He fought it, in that he didn’t actually fuck her. I’m sure he thought, “Oh, it’s just a blowjob.” That’s a degree of resistance. JFK was throwing up gang signs while screaming, “Balls Deep, Son!!!” in the White House kitchen. ---

Okay. Just know that this time we’re going to be smarter in how we take advantage of him, assuming we don’t use him to keep Hillary out of the White House in the first place. The affairs are known, they just weren’t brought out in 2008. But according to Game Change, there have been several since he left office. “I can’t control him!” is not very reassuring coming from the woman who wants to be President. ---

Is this pretty much an concession that the email “scandal” has lost its allure for the right wing? (And anyone else wondering how exactly how **adaher** thinks the Republicans are going to blackmail Bill? Tell him, “If you don’t get your wife to do what we want, we’ll tell the world you’re an adulterer… Wait a minute, everyone already knows that.”) ---

So, what, did they give her a pass while she was sec of state so they could hold Bill’s penis over her head just in case she made POTUS, then? Pretty lame strategy. ---

> [@adaher](#): > > “I can’t control him!” is not very reassuring coming from the woman who wants to be President. Maybe they have a consensual open relationship. Maybe they always did and she just had to pretend to be upset about Monica because of social norms. It’s no one else’s business and has no bearing on her ability to do the job. ---

I’m not really up to the level of angry sarcasm I started this thread with right now. I did my rant one somewhat manic night, and I got bored with it. > [@BobLibDem](#): > > I don’t see the big deal about what Bill did in the White House that wasn’t work-related. In the 20th century, these presidents were known to have affairs: Harding, F Roosevelt, Kennedy, Johnson, and Clinton. Four good presidents and one stinker. There are a few that we’re quite sure never cheated: Ford, Carter, and Obama come to mind. The office is the presidency, not the head of a monastery or nunnery. Keep us out of war, keep the economy humming and I don’t care if you’re having your jollies with your spouse, your intern, or livestock. I’m not really talking about the affairs with consenting women. Lots of politicians have affairs. Lots of _persons_ have affairs. I’m more freaked out by the general level of entitlement, as expressed in propositioning apparently random women. ---

It’s no one else’s business and has no bearing on her ability to do the job. That depends on what power others can have over Bill if he tries to keep his affairs secret(which he does), and how much access he has in her administration. Having an affair was considered a very serious matter when it was the head of the CIA. Oh wait, the President isn’t that important a job, so we can afford to hold the holder of that office to lower standards. I’d forgotten. Carry on. ---

I think any American should caress Clinton’s organ out of sheer patriotism when Clinton drops the pants. The man plays the sax! Are you a patriot? ---

> [@Smeghead](#): > > So you’re not even bothering to pretend that you’ll be evaluating political questions on merit, then. He never has. Over in one of the election thread he posted a list of four reasons why the ACA must be repealed. None of those reasons had anything to do with the merits of the ACA, with whether it’s a good thing for the American people, that sort of thing. Every single one of them had only to do with political advantage. Expecting **adaher** to evaluate political questions on merit is like expecting an ostrich to fly. ---
