Here's what Clinton said:
"I think I did something for the worst possible reason. Just because I could. And I think that's the most morally indefensible reason that anybody could have for doing anything."
Yes, he made a mistake. A BIG one. But he is not beating around the bush, something he is an expert at. But as this incident shows, Clinton is a man that admits his mistakes and goes on from there.
Contrast Bill Clinton with George W. Bush. Bush made a huge mistake in the way he handled the Iraq mess. I think it was a mistake from the beginning. But even those who were in favor of the Iraq war now see that his handling of the occupation was one horrible botch job. When a reporter asked him some time ago about any mistake he made, Bush was at a loss for words. Bush evidently was thinking:
"What? I make mistakes?"
He could not even imagine such a thing.
Yes, both Clinton and Bush made mistakes. Clinton made a mistake about sex and Bush made a mistake about war. Which is a more far reaching mistake? Bill Clinton admits his mistake and George W. Bush confounds his mistakes with lying.
By saying "Just because I could" Bill Clinton tells us he is a greater man than George W. Bush.
