"Throughout the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, media pundits and commentators puzzled and despaired that Americans were not more outraged at their president's behavior" (Kurtz). .
After the media was informed of the activities between Clinton and Lewinsky the little known woman was instantaneously the topic of conversation all over the world. All across America people were talking about the sexual scandal in the White House. And the top story in the news day after day, months after months have been about Clinton and Lewinsky. Who could blame them, but there is nothing better than a story out of the normal, especially one with presidential status. For all the past months Clinton has been the most talked about figure, being the essential topic for news, talk shows, late night comedy and even going as far as the big screen. Clinton had not just become the most talked about figure, but also one history had ever seen, so far that is, breaking the record and becoming a topic of different conversations.
One day Clinton was giving the speech when he stared the camera in the eye and convincingly claimed; "I want to say one thing to the American people. 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" (Arshad). Clinton expected the American people to believe that he did not have any sexual-relationships with Lewinsky. But "Lewinsky has said in a sworn affidavit she did not have an affair with Clinton but, in taped telephone conversations with a friend, is reported to have said she had oral sex with him in the White House and "telephone" sex late at night"(Arshad 19). .
Clinton was accused of lying under oath regarding his relationship with Monica Lewinsky and impeding justice when he supposedly told Monica to lie about their relationship. And Clinton added, wagging his finger for emphasis; "I never told anybody to lie, not a single time-never.
