BILL CLINTON

A whole lot of good things about William Jefferson Clinton:

Upon graduation he won a Rhodes Scholarship to University College, Oxford. After Oxford, Clinton attended Yale Law School and obtained a Juris Doctor degree in 1973. While at Yale, he began dating law student Hillary Rodham who was a year ahead of him. They married in 1975 and their only child, Chelsea, was born in 1980.

After graduating from Yale Law School, he returned to Arkansas and became a University of Arkansas law professor. A year later, in 1974, he ran for the House of Representatives.

In 1978, Bill Clinton was elected Governor of Arkansas for the first time; at 32, he was the youngest governor in the country. He then became the third youngest president, older than Theodore Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy.

In November 2000, Clinton became the first president to visit Vietnam since the end of the Vietnam War. And on October 17, 2002, he became the first white person to be inducted into the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame.

THE GOAT!

In 1995, Monica Lewinsky, a graduate of Lewis and Clark College, was hired to work as an intern at the White House during Clinton's first term. The two began a sexual relationship.

As Lewinsky's relationship with Clinton became more distant and after she had left the White House, she confided details of her feelings to her friend and Defense Department co-worker, Linda Tripp, who secretly recorded their telephone conversations.

When Tripp discovered that Lewinsky had signed an affidavit in the Paula Jones case denying a relationship with Clinton, she gave the tapes to independent counsel, Kenneth Star. And then all hell broke loose. At first Clinton denied the rumours: ‘I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you.’

Alas, Bill was telling a porker, later admitting to having an ‘improper physical relationship’ with Miss Lewinsky. And then he was impeached. And he never touched a cigar again.
