Turns out that her participation in playtime with Bill probably saved us from a round of responsible, common-sense entitlement reform.
As you'll recall, Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich hate each other. Hate, hate, hate.
But when it came to @#$%ing the 99%, they were able to overcome animosity and work together for their paymasters. Hard hearts softened, a beautiful thing.
The Pact Between Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich
It all started when Bill's Chief of Staff, a little-known demon named Erskine Bowles, saw a glorious opportunity to grab the cash being wasted on the useless eaters that had become too elderly to produce stuff in his many businesses. Medicare and Social Security. Cut.
So he brokered a deal with Bill and Newt. They had a deal! Medicare and Social Security. Cut.
Now they had to sell it to Congress. But just as that was about to happen, Bill "did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky", and the resulting circus shut down Erskine's dream. Of course Erskine's no wimp, he's still going for the gold even today.
So thanks, Monica! If it weren't for your participation in a consensual and mutually-respectful whatever-it-was, even more elderly Americans would be even more @#$%ed than they are today.
