Retro saturdays and bill clinton and monica

By monica I mean monica lewinsky who was an intern in the white house when bill clinton was president. For those of us that lived through the 90's, this was a huge deal and a scandal, second only to the oj simpson bronco chase and the rodney king riots. Sometimes in the mid 90's, bill and monica did sexual stuff probably in the white house based on my vague memories. Yes he is married to hillary clinton and yes it was a big deal as he ended up being impeached. However he was still president after it was all said and done

This scandal doesn't seem to be that good but what made it memorable in my eyes and everyone else is bill clinton's famous "I didn't not have sexual relations with that woman" which lead to emulation everywhere. For the longest time on kazaa and other p2p programs in the early 00's it was a crapshoot if you got a sound file with the famous quote. It was lampooned on late night shows and saturday night live and of course a bill clinton mask was a popular halloween costume. Just as quickly as it happened, the scandal faded from the media and it was a footnote in the wild 90's. However just the name of monica lewinsky brings up those memories
