Not to obsess on the topic, but Bill Clinton tells Dan Rather re: Lewinsky affair: “I think I did something for the worst possible reason — just because I could.” Is that really the worst possible reason for doing something you shouldn’t do? Malicious intent? Wouldn’t that be worse? And, then, of course–I hope Rather followed up–what he did with Lewinsky was not the worst of what he did, contrary to popular belief about what Ken Starr was after. It was the lying. It was the abuse of power….sigh.
