It wasn't private anymore after he looked the American People in the camera lens and blatantly lied to them knowing the corporate media had him under a microscope. He should have either kept his mouth shut or told the truth upfront, instead of giving the neo-con loving corporate media and Cheney/Bush the integrity issue on a silver platter.
That's why Bush ran on restoring honor and integrity to the White House, because that was his only opening. That's why the corporate media transferred the sins of the President on to the Vice-President with the continuous ludicrous slander and libel of "Al Gore claimed to he have invented the Internet" among many other lies, while ignoring Bush's mistakes, errors and lies. It makes no difference where you stand on the issues, if the corporate media can convince the public not to trust your integrity.
The corporate media simply didn't want the primary political champion for opening up the Internet for the people in the White House and Bill Clinton only helped them in that regard, with that act of political stupidity.
Today the same corporate media can't even bring them selves to call him the potential First Gentleman. I heard them refer to him this morning as the possible First Mate, and for an instant, I could only think of Gilligan. This from the same corporate controlled media that did nothing but wage an eight year witch hunt against the Clintons, thereby keeping scandal front and center, making integrity the primary issue of 2000.
I watched The View the morning and they discussed the Lewinsky Scandal, and it occurred to me, I've been making the same mistake they did subconsciously blaming it all on Monica Lewinsky, it should be called the Clinton/Lewinsky Scandal, unless you believe pleasured her self alone on the White House lawn. They had a minor debate because Lewinsky couldn't find a job supposedly because the Clintons had too many connections. One of them said she deserves it, the others did not think so, saying women should back up women. Not a one of them, that I recall ever mentioned the possibility that Bill Clinton was responsible as well, they didn't mention his name regarding this issue. I believe their real message was stand behind Hillary Clinton, but I don't believe it's because she's a woman, I believe it's because she is the most corporate loving candidate on the Democratic side.
The same corporate media hasn't done squat against Bush/Cheney's Constitutional transgressions. This tells me their true target was never the Clintons, it was Al Gore and that was their back door way of keeping him from coming to power, because he was a strong advocate of the Internet and as the Internet grew in power and influence, they came to resent him for it.
