To begin with, I must respectfully disagree with the President's contention that his relationship with Monica Lewinsky and the way in which he misled us about it is nobody's business but his family's and that even Presidents have private lives, as he said.
Lewinsky not only contradicted the values he has publicly embraced over the last 6 years, it has, I fear, compromised his moral authority at a time when Americans of every political persuasion agree that the decline of the family is one of the most pressing problems we are facing.
Lewinsky has caused if he had acknowledged his mistake and spoken with candor about it to the American people shortly after it became public in January.

For analysts of public opinion, perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this ongoing scandal has been the divergence between saturation media coverage highlighting negative aspects of the President's character and public opinion polls showing an unprecedented level of approval of his performance.
It is not just that the news media cover the specifics of the scandals with more attention and enthusiasm than they give to politics, but that the scandal plays across a much wider range of media.
It is notable, in this respect, that when asked to say how the Monica Lewinsky affair involved allegations of illegality, heavy television viewers were more likely than others to state that the alleged "illegal act" at issue was of a sexual nature (rather than perjury).

Nor is the unctuous face of a prosecutor who, by baring to the nation all of the woman's private acts and desires, used and degraded Monica Lewinsky at least as callously as did his target.
Yet we're to believe that the scandal is not about sex, that if Starr had brought charges of perjury and obstruction related to, say, some old Arkansas real estate deal, it would have received the same amount of space and air.
