I remember this White House scandal even if many have chosen to forget it. I will be honest. While President Clinton did some wonderful things for this country, I was never a fan, and I never voted for him. On this date in 1998, Monica Lewinsky (his paramour) was granted immunity so that she could testify to her relationship with the president. I never did understand how Clinton skated through this scandal with nary a scratch, but I guess I differ in my view of scandals such as this. I realize that no politician is perfect, but I believe honesty and integrity is essential. Too bad that politicians today are not like that. And yes, I have voted for dishonest politicians in the past, and I’m sure I will continue to do so as well. It is often the lesser of two evils.

I had forgotten about this incident. This is one of the reasons I don’t watch the news much because there is nothing I can do about the situation. I really work on not trying to borrow worries.
