It was fair to probe Clinton-Lewinsky affair, Kennedy had said | Former US Senator Ted Kennedy, who died last month after
battling brain cancer, has said the probing of the affair between former President Bill Clinton and former White House intern Monica Lewinsky was fair. "Do I think
such inquiry is fair? Absolutely. Do I think it tells the whole story of character?
No, I truly do not. Human beings are much more complex than that. Some people
make mistakes and try to learn from them and do better. Our sins don't define
the whole picture of who we are," Kennedy says in his autobiography. Commenting
on Clinton's mood during the impeachment process, Kennedy says: "Clinton's mood
seemed privately to plummet during this period. But even as he finally accepted
that his presidency was imperiled, he still didn't seem able to confront the ultimate
cause." In telephone conversations with him, sensed that this was not yet a place
he could go: the awareness that his affair with Monica Lewinsky had deeply disturbed
and disheartened people. And that perhaps they were even more disturbed that he
had lied about it to his wife and the members of his cabinet and allowed them
to be humiliated by publicly defending a falsehood," he added. He said he always
remained supportive of Clinton.
