I'm going to sum up my feelings on the entire Lewinsky thing as simply as I can...

I DON'T GIVE A SHIT!!!

Now, I suppose I can go into some detail about my feelings on this beyond that statement, just in case you're curious.

Issue 1: The President of the United States of America cheated on his wife.
Welcome to the real world. ANY president that COULD cheat on his wife DID. Jack was famous for it. Never mind the fact that most married men have cheated on their wives at some point in time, especially all the bastard politicians trying to fry Clinton for it. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't condone cheating. I've never cheated on a girlfriend, and I don't think I ever will. Nor do I suppose I would cheat I my wife. I don't believe it's right. Either leave or don't. Don't do it half-assed. But the point is, he's not the first man to cheat, nor is he the first President to cheat.

Issue 2: The woman was his intern.
If there's any crime in that, it's that she's a fat, ugly intern... not some beautiful starlet. But the point is, have we come to crucifying people for crimes of taste (no pun intended)? If so, most of my colleagues in the design industry should have been bleeding from the wrist and feet up a long time ago... myself included.

Issue 3: He lied about his affair.
Really? No shit? So let me get this straight... a politician LIED? *note the Rush Limbaugh-sized sarcasm sitting on that comment* A man's relationship, integrity, and job are on the line, and he lied about something he did wrong? What was that line again? It went something like, "Let he without sin... something or other"

issue 4: He's the President of the United States, he should be a shining example to Americans everywhere.
Okay, and EVERY president before him has stood up to THAT kind of pressure. Besides, he IS being a shining example to Americans of what NOT to do.

Kids, cheat on your significant other, with a subordinate of yours... but DON'T get caught.

That's the example, and it's a DAMN good one too.

Issue 5: He did WHAT with the cigar?!?

Oh puh-leaze. Half of you people have had rubber balls in your mouth and a bullwhip sticking out of your ass like a pony. The other half heard about the cigar and wondered if your wife or girlfriend would do that for you. Hell, even I thought about that, and I don't even like cigars.

What it comes down to is this:
Bill Clinton is human. He fucked up. He mistakes are between he, his wife, and the intern. If I got caught cheating on my wife with someone at my job, none of you would give a shit. It's a private issue. That's all there is to it.

If you REALLY want to impeach the President for this shit, the only reason should be that he just can't finish what he starts. Smoked but didn't inhale. Three months of blowjobs but didn't...
