I happen to agree with you that this guy should resign, if for no other reason than of the love dripping comment.

Bill Clinton should have told everyone to politely STFU. He should have never been impeached. George W. Bush sure won't be. What a fine, upstanding criminal he is.
Kenneth Starr and Linda Tripp can kiss my grits for all time. And you too, Oprah, for scolding Bill like a schoolboy on your dumb TV show. Shame on you. Enough, already.

In Clinton's case I believe the reason he gets a pass from liberal moralists is because he never tried to pass on his morals as a compass for others, and support legislation that prohibited the personal choices of other people. In Duvall's case, as also in Sanford's and Craig's and even Foley's, the pass is revoked not necessarily because they are conservatives, but instead because as right-leaning Republican politicians who have consistently pushed for and supported social legislation to prohibit the marriages (and sometimes various other civil rights, such as legal right to adoption) of homosexuals they have put their own morals on display, and attempted to take their personal views to the national stage as a beacon of 'how it should be.'
As I indicated above, I usually don't see a correlation between what one does on personal time with what one does while at the office, and in Clinton's case, as well as the instance of Sarkozy having a mistress while running as a conservative, I see no contradictions between private lifestyle choices and public legislative decisions. But in this country conservatives make it their business to try to force others to follow their moral diatribes, that what is right for them should be the law and mandate for others, so it should not be so hard to see that when one of these moralizing oppressive shit faces makes a public ass of himself in such a hypocritical way, he should see himself to the door. If Clinton had ran on a platform of moral reform and social holier-than-thouness, perhaps I would see the connection, but he did not, and that is the difference.

Lewinsky was an unpaid intern, not an employee. Furthermore, her assignment not in any way supervised by Clinton since she wasn't on the White House staff.
And, most importantly here: she was in no position to influence the President on policy.
Holy Christ, woman, what kind of example are you setting for those kids of yours by holding this trivial grudge for more than a decade, and deliberately lying in the bargain?

I hold no grudge about Clinton and his philandering ways. I'm just pointing out that Andrew is applauding a Republican when he stepped down because of sex scandal. All I asked is whether or not he wanted Clinton to step down after his sex scandal caused a great deal of distraction. From the post above: "... the fact that the gossip and snickering has become a "distraction" from public duties."

@momof3wildkids: Considering how boards treat CEOs, it would be all fistbumps and 40 million dollar bonuses, actually.
The chairman would be all: "Blow it up, broheim!"

In general, consensual sexual relationships among co-workers are tolerated in corporate America if the participants are discreet and tactful. When such a relationship develops between a supervisor and a direct report, that's a more serious situation because of the conflict of interest represented by the clear and obvious power differential of the individuals.
The "CEO" analogy was thoroughly debunked back during the Clinton years, though apparently you either weren't paying attention or else you are now deliberately acting disingenous. I suspect the latter, because you keep ignoring the salient fact that the woman in the Duvall case is a lobbyist. That kind of sophistry is troll behavior, and (like your cronies who tell lies about health care) you deserve to be called out.

As for the consensual part of your comment, I suspect that sexual relationships between CEOs and interns generally don't end happily... thus the threat of lawsuit.
