A new PBS documentary is dredging up the Bill Clinton / Monica Lewinsky scandal to remind us all what a playa our 42nd president was. Set to air next week the documentary will show how women just threw themselves at Clinton, how he struggled to go public with the affair and ow his staffers felt betrayed by the whole nasty scandal

Betsey Wright, Mr Clinton’s trusted political aide, almost convinced Clinton not to run for President due to his past affairs. Writer Gail Sheely said that Wright sat down with Clinton before he announced his bid for the presidency with some serious concerns about women. Sheely said

“The day before the press conference he was going to announce that he was going to run, Betsey Wright, his ferociously protective campaign manager, sat him down with a list of names of women and went through one after the other. ‘How many times? Where did you meet her? How likely is she to talk?” Clinton said for each name that ‘she’ll never say anything’, but Miss Wright replied: ‘But you don’t know that!’ Miss Wright supposedly told Clinton: ‘The problem is we’re not just talking about you, we’re talking about your wife, we’re talking about your child.’ She said I don’t think you can run.’

Wise words from a smart woman that went unheeded. Still…he came out ok on the other end of the whole Monica thing…it was her life that was ruined.

You can see the poor Bill Clinton he is so sexy he just can’t keep the women off of him documentary on February 20.
