For the life of me I can't see why one matters more than the other....other than the hypocrisy of one side thinking it's okay in one instance and not in the other....if you want to play on the same level as those that tried to crucify Clinton then so be it...it's your prerogative...but just as hypocritical...two wrongs don't make a right...
and it also doesn't help to "change" what politics in Washington is about....

I don't think they are equal........... bill cheated......... It may come as a surprise but in many segments of this & other societies these "indiscretions" are tolerated, somewhat short of acceptable... Not that I would agree, but they didn't ask my opinion.........
This is not what the "herO" was engaging in..... He was looking to move up the ladder... He was not just looking for some head. He was looking to get ahead...... He left the poor cripple to have a good time & move out from under the "shadow of the admiral"........
The only thing I see as "the same" is the sexual/betrayal aspect..... There is more going on here......
Which, if either, is more unmoral or unethical is up to the individual I guess but I think the question then becomes is a man that is willing to coldly dump a crippled wife a man we would want to be the leader of the free world..........
IMO given what has occurred in his life this would hardly be the only issue questioning his appropriateness to be the leader of this country..
