In all fairness, Bill Clinton did publicly apologize to Monica Lewinsky during his speech. I say that as a critic of the Clinton crime family. This reporter didn't do his research about that one part of his criticism.

There is a lot of hate on here, but BC thinks 3 steps ahead of everyone else on foreign affairs. He could solve a ton of stuff today. That being said, all he would have to have done back then, or even today, is to say 'Yes, i did things i shouldn't have with women i shouldn't have and i am sorry.' And he still won't. I really like BC as a president, but that still is a HUGE negative i can't get past.

svjim It's amazing how much vitriol people born "after" his term level at him without getting their facts straight. All they do is read one Twitter feed or FB ad and regurgitate the garbage they hear not realizing that had it not been for Clinton and Gore they might not even have access to the internet. And yet they continue to reap the benefits of his tenure. And you're completely right about Lewinsky. She was the one that sexually harassed him not the other way around.

It's like watching my seven year old trying to OUT LIE his previous polished up turd of a lie. And with his not any smarter, guilty by association, brother chiming in making him look worse. What was the most damaging and reveling was how red his pale face became when the last question asked. He realized his previous answer was open to be debated and was backpedaling as he was tripping all over his face it was written ! And what about the finale with his wing man throwing the only murdered ex president and one of the more controversial presidents in our history straight under the bus. Without hesitation just to change the spotlight and to justify the 5000 lbs Clinton in the room! Shame on the 2/3 of Americans who took this monsters side back then!

Absolutely corrupted, as the old saying goes.

Apparently 22 year old females practicing hypergamy are not held responsible for their actions.

Well in a nut shell, just assume, men bad, women good. I will start using The trumpster as my moral compass, considering 48% of white women thought he would be a good president.

How about the White House attacking her character publicly and smearing her to discredit her from telling the truth in another woman's sexual harassment lawsuit? It wasn't the relationship where Lewinsky was victimized, by what the Clintons tried to do to her after the fact.

Genuine question Why are so many people calling Clinton a predator? Lewinsky situation was consensual albeit the result of a power paradigm. Second, lot of hate for Patterson I thought he behaved admirably, didn't run his mouth and as soon as Clinton engaged (stupidly in my opinion) with the baiting questions he chimed in and tried to move things on. Would appreciate someone enlightening me

Probably should have set an initial boundary instead of letting it get out of hand. Funny how Patty was jockying for facetime though. Kept interupting ea other. I think bill was slightly annoying patty with all the long pauses he does; taking on air time. Lol

What was the purpose of this interview? It seems from watching brief topics on a couple of other stations, former President Clinton's interview was about his relationship with Monica; baffled and couldn't understand why he would be giving an interview about this, when a majority of Americans supported him throughout his presidency; met him when he came to LA and purchased "My Life!" The crux of the interview, apparently, is actually about a book deal with James Patterson. This interviewer took the opportunity chose to inject President Clinton's consensual relationship with Monica, which is clearly out of line! I totally agree with President Clinton giving ALL credit to South Korea's leader in attempting to seek concessions between the US and North Korea; much more professional; Lester would have done a much better job at this interview. Would be nice if folks place more emphasis on national security; personal mishaps between consenting adults is no body's business. Love President Clinton and would vote for him again and Hillary as well!

Really poor taste to bring up the Lewinsky question again. Bill Clinton has paid a heavy price already in his legacy. And its not like he was forcing her to do his bid. It was a consensual affair between a boss and his junior which did not go well. It should not have happened but to keep hitting him again and again is so petty . people don't understand what it takes to serve at the highest realms of power . the responsibility. As far as I'm concerned I think the 90s were one of the happiest times in the history of the world and bill Clinton has played a role in structuring that growth in this messed up reality we call life. Leave him alone . looking forward to other fiction books written by bill Clinton.
