On Bill Clinton’s scandals in the late 90s:
“Ultimately, as much as the country said it didn’t want to enable this kind of behavior, that it didn’t really have that much of a problem with it. If they liked you, they were willing to look the other way …”
Political junkies and professional pundits often make the mistake of assuming that the general public is as well informed, on issues like this, as they are.
My guess is, most people knew that Bill Clinton had been unfaithful to his wife a couple of times. Beyond that, all was smoke and confusion.
