He explains this as his reason for his affair with Lewinsky.

And, even if true, what does this have to do with the current thread?

 

Even Bill Maher agrees, ...Bill Clinton is STILL USING women...now as an excuse!

Bill Maher defends Monica Lewinsky, rips 'callous' Bill Clinton over 'manage my anxieties' remark


"Real Time" host Bill Maher tore into former President Bill Clinton on Friday night's show over remarks Clinton makes in the new "Hillary" documentary series, saying his affair with Monica Lewinsky was to help him "manage my anxieties."

During the "Overtime" segment of Maher's show, a viewer asked the host's panel of guests what they thought of Clinton's comments.

Several panelists joked that Clinton's self-prescribed stress remedy appeared to have worked, arguing he did "very well" as commander-in-chief.

But Maher didn't laugh off the question.

"Can I, for one second, channel Monica Lewinsky?" Maher asked the panel. "I just gotta say the blindness of a man saying that I had this affair with this person was to manage my anxieties -- how does that make her feel? It's a terrible thing to say."

The HBO star compared Clinton to the type of men who remarry after a divorce and then claim their second bride is the "love of my life" -- asking the panel, what about the "first wife"?

"The Clintons are very blind. They have a callousness to them," panelist Caitlin Flanagan, an author and contributor to The Atlantic magazine, told Maher.

"They really do," Maher agreed. "This to me was very callous. It's like, 'Manage my anxieties.' Really? Is there not a human being there?"

"Especially when she's revealed that she was in love with him," Flanagan said.

"Yes!" the "Real Time" host exclaimed. "He bought her that book of poetry, remember that? And there was that tape where he was like, 'Good morning' because he got a b---j-- that day. It's a little more than that."

 

Also allegations are now being reported as facts. Guilt by allegation I call it.

This thread is about Clinton describing an event that is not in question.

 

Lying, Liberal democrat serial rapist was always protected by the liberal media, democrats and everything Left....they would never allow allow their golden boy to tarnish

 

Perhaps we should all revisit the difference between allegation and legal proof of guilt. Clinton was guilty of lying under oath. I don’t give a flying fuck about what happened between him and Lewinsky.

Clinton perjured himself and that is a crime.

When Trump is found guilty of something then we can revisit this.

In the meantime I wished to focus on the fact that Clinton is still making excuses.

 

It is also the reason why republicans won't testify under oath...

 

All Clinton had to say when questioned about this was “this is none of your damned business” but instead he had to be a pussy and lie under oath.

I would have mightily respected the first manly response.

But sadly...

 

The GOP has lost any moral authority to lecture anyone on values or even Bill Clinton's affairs

 

I’m not a Republican. Is no one allowed to lecture Bill on his appalling lack of judgment or his continued excuses? Is he too precious for criticism?

 

And what make democrats so moral?

 

My point is that Clinton was a pussy and should have said that this is his personal business damn it! And none of your business.

But it was just easier to lie.

 

I’ve been away from the States for awhile. Is the litmus test for guilt the number of accusations made against someone now? Is this now American jurisprudence?

Clinton toyed with the affections of a young vulnerable girl and then objectified her by calling her “that woman”

Now he is saying he just used her to basically clear his head.

Why are feminists not outraged?

 

Tho I really didn't care if Slick Willy got himself a Hummer at work... I mean really.. what's the point of being the most powerful man in the free world if you can't get your nob shined at work... My issue was that he he felt he had to lie about it (he certainly didn't deserve to get impeached over it)... Like always it's not the act that caused the problems... It's the cover up that gets ppl into trouble. She was an adult... He was an adult... I guess maybe it could be argued that he used his position of authority and her clear admiration of him to his advantage.... But even with this... He's not the only older man that used these things to his benefit. I guess we can debate if this is right or wrong... But she was not coerced into anything... Far as I'm aware she freely and with a good amount of vigor took care of business. Bottom line... Yeah a nice blowjob does tend to relax me ... I would think most men feel the same way....

 

I swear to God that I could start a thread about antiquing and someone would turn it into an anti Trump thread somehow!

 

On Chelsea Clinton's first trip home after going off to college. Her mother asked her if she had sex yet.
She said " Not according to dad."

 

No One Left to Lie to: The Values of the Worst Family
by Christopher Hitchens
In No One Left to Lie To, Christopher Hitchens portrays President Bill Clinton as one of the most ideologically skewed and morally negligent politicians of recent times. In a blistering polemic which shows that Clinton was at once philanderer and philistine, crooked and corrupt, Hitchens challenges perceptions - of liberals and conservatives alike - of this highly divisive figure.
With blistering wit and meticulous documentation, Hitchens masterfully deconstructs Clinton's abject propensity for pandering to the Left while delivering to the Right and argues that the president's personal transgressions were inseparable from his political corruption.

 

Wouldn’t it be wild if the Democrats fought so hard amongst themselves that they didn’t notice the sudden emergence of Chelsea Clinton as the nominee? Maybe even Socks or Buddy if they are not long dead
