Ew. OP makes me worry about living in this world. Y’know those animations they show kids about the the human immune system where “germs” are usually amorphous, phlegm-color clobby things with angry, mustachiod faces? That’s kinda how I picture **kstarnes** right now. Only sitting in front of a keyboard. Ew. ---

Missed the edit window. Just wanted to say that I actually no problems with Monica. I’d date her. I think it was a case where she got in over her head (no pun intended). She had stars in her eyes. It’s natural, I think, in a situation like that to find yourself in a situation where things get out of control, and quickly. ---

Everyone says it the other way. Even I say it the other way. But it’s actually supposed to be said (and indeed, only really makes sense) when you say it “eat your cake and have it too.” and not the other way around. ---

I’d be willing to wager big money that you can’t find an instance of the public giving two shits about the “morality” of a man who has sex with someone who is a married woman and powerful political figure. The reaction would either be “who cares” or “score”. The OP is a pig, and should self-castrate for the good of the species. I couldn’t be bothered to care about Monica Lewinsky. She matters to people with brain damage. ---
