It is a generally accepted fact that the former American President Bill Clinton, would have gone down as one of the top presidents of all time if only Monica Lewinsky hadn't appeared on the horizon as the fly in the ointment. Now every time Clinton is in the news, you can bet your last cent, that Lewinsky is around the bend & is going to be mentioned.
Now take the case of my other favourite, the great Tiger Woods, who is better remembered for his peccadilloes between the sheets rather than exploits on the green, today.
I'm not delving into the moral side of the story here. Morality is boring, who needs it? My interest is- why did Hilary Clinton soft pedal her husbands indiscretions and fargive her man while in the case of the Woods, the wife got an annulment of their marriage and has since disappeared into the mist of Sweden.
Why?
The reason is probably, not hard to see. Mrs.Clinton, was eyeing the top political spot in the US and looked to be the first woman president.She definitely did not want to get on the wrong side of the electorate and place her chances to be president in jeopardy, with a messy divorce trailing her
Mrs.Woods..............she was happy to take the moolah, and retire!To hell with Tiger.
Two well read women, in a first world country, exercised different options......which was the right way? Who the hell knows?
However it brings to mind the words of Lord Action- Power Corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.Holds true in this sordid drama as well.As for Bill & Tiger, scumbags, who did not hesitate to misuse the power that they had!
