<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. 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.) Bill Clinton (The public's rating: -6 ) a) Had an adulterous affair with a young intern. b) Lied about it to everyone . e) Entangled allies and aides in his web of deceit. 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. a) Encouraged Clinton's most deplorable habits: lying and polling. (When Clinton revealed his adultery to Morris, the political consultant immediately took a poll to see how America would respond to a Clinton admission. When the results suggested Americans would be angry if Clinton had perjured himself, Morris encouraged Clinton to deny the affair.) b) Further sullied the Clintons with a revolting comment suggesting that Clinton cheats because Hillary is a lesbian. b) Obsessively nosed into the private lives of others. a) Whistleblower (see d under Minuses): risked humiliation to expose something she believed was wrong. b) Smeared mercilessly by Clinton allies, the media. a) Has known about Clinton's woman problem since 1992. b) Happily parroted Clinton's denial despite knowing that Clinton was a deceitful womanizer. d) Has not retreated from vicious attacks on Starr, despite evidence of Clinton's lies. 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. a) May have known and must have suspected that Lewinsky was a mistress (given that he and Clinton are confidants, it's hard to believe that Jordan was totally in the dark about her). a) May have helped Lewinsky simply because he's bighearted and generous not because she was the president's lover. a) Spun the president's denial for months without bothering to check if it was true. a) Consistent in belief that Starr is an ideologue and that the sex charges are political. a) Spun the president's denial for months without bothering to check if it was true. George Stephanopoulos (The public's rating: +4 ) Minuses: b) Disloyal to turn on old boss as viciously as he has in past few weeks. b) Probably dragooned into cover-up against her will. a) Spun the president's denial for months without bothering to check if it was true. b) Did not quit on principle after Clinton admitted lies. Same as Begala (except Emanuel didn't write the speech). Monica Lewinsky (The public's rating: -9 ) a) Seduced a married man. b) Damaged and endangered the presidency for the sake of casual sex. 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.) 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) Spun and spun and spun the president's denial for months without bothering to check if it was true. a) Was clearly dismayed by the entire scandal and his role in it. a) Revealed Clinton family troubles immediately after his pastoral visit. a) Unapologetically vicious, partisan, and unforgiving in his impeachment quest. a) Consistent throughout the scandal: He has been pushing impeachment since before Monica materialized in January. Kenneth Starr (The public's rating: -9 ) b) Has pursued investigation into Clinton's private life with more zeal than seems appropriate. a) Was right about Clinton and Lewinsky. c) Has been patient with the stonewalling, deceiving Clinton. a) Is vindicated because Clinton probably did it. b) Forced Clinton's lechery out in the open. 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: a) Magnanimous toward the president. Slate                 rating: +1 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 a) Slightly disloyal to old boss. b) May have known about Clinton's extracurricular activities, yet turned a blind eye. c) On television too much. b) Had good sense to leave the White House before corrupting himself. Hillary Clinton (The public's rating: +4 ) b) May have always known truth about Lewinsky, yet still lied to protect Bill. 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) Was in it for the money (told her story partly in order to land a book contract). b) Reluctantly dragged into scandal. c) Was victimized by Clinton. 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.) b) Were lied to by Clinton. a) Stayed utterly silent about the scandal, clearly disgusted by it all. 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). Chelsea Clinton (The public's rating: +10 ) 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.
