<passage>:
The Flytrap Blame Game One of the few truths universally acknowledged about Flytrap is that presidential secretary Betty Currie deserves our sympathy: an honest, loyal civil servant dragooned into a scandal she had nothing to do with. The Currie case suggests that Flytrap needs a moral recalibration. Monica Lewinsky, for example, has fantastically low approval ratings, much lower than Clinton's. One poll I saw pegged her favorability rating at 5 percent (even Newt Gingrich manages at least 25 percent). Now, Monica certainly isn't the heroine of Flytrap. She did seduce a married man, damage the presidency for the sake of casual sex, lie frequently and insouciantly, and blab her "secret" affair to anyone who'd listen. But she was also sexually exploited by her older, sleazy boss had her reputation smeared by Clinton's lackeys and was betrayed by her "friend" Linda Tripp. She hardly deserves such universal contempt. (Sometimes, of course, the public's rating is dead on target. Linda Tripp's allies--a group that includes her lawyers, Kenneth Starr, the Goldberg family, and absolutely no one else as far as I can tell--have tried repeatedly to improve her sorry public image. Jonah Goldberg tried right here in Slate. No sale.) Below is                    Slate                's entire scorecard, which ranks 31 of Flytrap's key players: The scale runs from -10 to +10. Anything less than zero means the player is a net miscreant. Anything above zero rates a sympathy card. (This is not, of course, an exact science. How, for example, do we judge Ann Lewis compared to other last ditch Clinton defenders? Lewis is said to be more outraged by Clinton's misbehavior than The Guys in the White House. Yet Lewis didn't quit in disgust. Is her outrage a plus or a minus if she doesn't act on it? You decide.) The Scorecard Bill Clinton (The public's rating: -6 ) To recapitulate a) Had an adulterous affair with a young intern. b) Lied about it to everyone . c) Probably perjured himself. d) Perhaps obstructed justice. e) Entangled allies and aides in his web of deceit. f) Humiliated his wife and daughter. g) Did not have the grace to apologize to Lewinsky. h)Tried to shift the blame for his failures onto his accusers. Pluses: a) Had his private life exposed to the world in a way no one's should be. b) Has been persecuted by enemies who won't be satisfied until he is destroyed. Slate                 rating-- He never asked for our sympathy, and he doesn't deserve it: -9 Minuses: a) Betrayed her "friend." b) Obsessively nosed into the private lives of others. c) Tried to score a book deal off sex gossip and other people's distress. d) Tattletale. Pluses: a) Whistleblower (see d under Minuses): risked humiliation to expose something she believed was wrong. b) Smeared mercilessly by Clinton allies, the media. Slate                 rating: -7 a) Not yet known what he did to protect Clinton from the Lewinsky affair. Early signs suggest he knew a lot and helped clean it up. d) Did not quit on principle. Same as Begala (except Emanuel didn't write the speech). Monica Lewinsky (The public's rating: -9 ) Minuses: a) Seduced a married man. b) Damaged and endangered the presidency for the sake of casual sex. c) Has lied frequently. d) Is a capable adult, not--as her advocates claim--a naive child, defenseless against the president's wiles. e) Protected herself with immunity when she needed to, even though her testimony would do enormous harm to Clinton and the nation. f) Blabbed her "secret" affair to lots of people. (So, while she was dragged into the scandal against her will, it was her own loquaciousness that made the dragging possible.) Pluses: a) Sexually exploited by her older boss. b) Had her reputation smeared by Clintonistas and the media. c) Betrayed by Linda Tripp. d) Dragged into the scandal against her will. a) Was clearly dismayed by the entire scandal and his role in it. a) Revealed Clinton family troubles immediately after his pastoral visit. b) Did not demand any political compensation in exchange. Kenneth Starr (The public's rating: -9 ) b) Resisted a settlement that would have saved the nation much embarrassment. Pluses: a) Is vindicated because Clinton probably did it. b) Forced Clinton's lechery out in the open. c) Persisted in the face of ridicule and humiliation. The American People (The public's rating: +7 ) Minuses: a) Hypocritically claim to despise scandal, follow it breathlessly, then blame the media for obsessing over it. b) Are secretly fascinated by the sleaziness of it. Pluses: The Media (The public's rating: -8 ) Minuses: a) No sense of proportionality. Coverage is wretchedly excessive even when it shouldn't be. b) Endlessly self-involved. How many stories have you seen about the media and the scandal? c) Unforgiving. The media want the scandal to continue, hence won't ever be satisfied that Clinton has suffered enough. Pluses: a) Worked hard to break a very important story and investigated the hell out of it. b) Unfairly savaged by hypocritical American people (see above). Slate                 rating: +1 b) May have known about Clinton's extracurricular activities, yet turned a blind eye. c) On television too much. Hillary Clinton (The public's rating: +4 ) Minuses: a) Knew what a lech he was, yet always protected him. b) May have always known truth about Lewinsky, yet still lied to protect Bill. c) Chose aggressive, political strategy over contrition. a) Lied to, betrayed, and cuckolded by husband. b) Personally humiliated. c) May have disgraced her own good name by echoing his denials on the Today show. Al Gore (The public's rating: +3 ) b) Did not take advantage of scandal to burnish his own image. a) Seems to have told story honestly and forthrightly. b) Reluctantly dragged into scandal. c) Was victimized by Clinton. b) Did not quit on principle. a) Were conscripted unwillingly into scandal defense. (Unlike political aides such as Begala, who are expected to do political dirty work, the Cabinet members are public servants who should be kept away from such sleaze.) a) Refused to involve himself in the critical issue of the presidency. Pluses: a) Stayed utterly silent about the scandal, clearly disgusted by it all. b) Kept the rest of the administration focused on policy, thus preventing total executive paralysis. c) Did not lie or spin for the president. a) Dragged unwillingly into scandal by Clinton (unlike Currie or his political aides, the Secret Service agents have no choice about being near the president). Pluses: a) Humiliated and embarrassed by her father's misbehavior. b) Had family problems paraded before the world in a way they should not be. c) Has been endlessly psychologized by the media. d) Had her summer vacation ruined.

<question>:

C No, how can they be held accountable for something that two consenting adults participate in?
