No coercion, but as U said, taking advantage. Exploitation. What a creep. And pretty ridiculous at that. You do know how to pick 'em.

Anyway here's a song I wrote about it at the time:

In a dark little room in the White House
Slick Willy they say could be found,
Having many the hours's quiet enjoyment,
Which in time was the talk of the town.
For a bad misfortune came over him,
He was torn limb from limb by the Press,
On account of his friendly persuasion,
And the stain on that Blue Velvet Dress.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds,
You could see she was flushed with success,
But it's clear that nobody told her,
There's a stain on your Blue Velvet Dress.


At times they might phone up the White House
And they'd say "Do you feel quite OK?"
For they could hear him getting exhausted with
Intern-al affairs of the day.
He took a cigar from his pocket,
And he placed it right there in her hand,
And the very next moment it was plain that there was
A stain on its Blue Velvet Band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds,
You could see she was flushed with success,
But it's clear that nobody told her,
There's a stain on your Blue Velvet Dress.


Before the judge and the Senate
At length he was forced to appear
And they all of them knew that there wasn't a doubt,
For the truth was abundantly clear.
So they voted to find him Not Guilty,
And that was the end, more or less,
Of the scandal that covered the White House,
Like that stain on that Blue Velvet Dress.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds,
You could see she was flushed with success,
But it's clear that nobody told her,
There's a stain on your Blue Velvet Dress.
