It didn't really become such a public problem until the GOP decided to spend all of Clinton's years as president trying to fry him for Monica. IMO, he should have told them it was none of their business, but you can't put the genie back in the bottle. Every time I hear of a GOP or other anti-liberal type getting caught I chalk one up for karmic payback.

I'd like to say I agree with Art Brooks, but I am sure history of full of successful pols who diddled on the side, with or without their spouse's knowledge or consent. I'm not holding it up as a shining example, though. We just watched a good movie, Ridicule, which certainly showed how much the court of France and, thus, laws of France, were centered around who was sleeping with whom, etc. at the time. But, then, of course, came the revolution...hmmm, where might that lead us today?
