The name says it all, "Monicagate", as if it was all her fault. Shouldn't it really be called "Clintongate"?
Noah seems to disagree and paints it all as a trap for Clinton, think "vast right wing conspiracy", and tries to downplay the whole affair.
"It was a bummer for all concerned, from its tawdry beginning as an item of Internet gossip to its ambivalent end when Clinton, having become the first president since Andrew Johnson to be impeached by the House, was acquitted by a Senate reluctant to flatter Clinton's infractions by calling them high crimes or misdemeanors."
But of course it wasn't just "internet gossip". Subsequent facts have proven that Bill Clinton did have sex with Lewinsky and lied about it. That's what he was impeached for, lying under oath, that was his high crimes and misdemeanors and not his "infractions" with Monica.
Noah also leaves out Bill Clinton's long list of sex assaults on other women.
Here's another take.
