Paula Jones had just filed suit against President Clinton, and WFB reminds us of the irony that Mrs. Clinton, during the 1992 campaign, had urged women to emulate Anita Hill and not let men get away with sexual harassment. WFB: "A lot of people slept around with JFK and a lot of them kept quiet about it during the summer of 1960, and I think that was probably the right thing to do." SA: "I'm not sure those two examples are comparable." WFB: "It has to do with character. He was committing adultery. If it had been exposed and put on 60 Minutes that he had done so, it almost certainly would have affected the elections." SA: "Oh, certainly. It would have affected the Clinton election as well if Paula Jones had in a timely fashion brought her charges." ... MG: "He's an extraordinary President, I think. You know, a lot of people, Bill, under this pressure would get vindictive and angry. I saw Richard Nixon do it.... I am impressed with the President's character, showing resilience and dedication and focus, notwithstanding this pressure." WFB: "Well, that's because your perspective leans you in that direction. Other people might say it's a sign of insouciance."
