In her Memoirs ‘Speaking for Myself’, Mrs.Cherie Blair wife of Mr.Tony Blair has observed that it was ‘bloody stupid’ for Bill Clinton to have indulged in an affair with the White House Intern Monica Lewinsky.
She could understand as to how Monica had fallen for Bill Clinton; It was his charismatic personality combined with his ability to mesmerise anybody he meets and create a feeling in them as though he was genuinely interested in them;but, none of them can be taken as real.
When the scandal finally broke out in 1998, she had an overwhelming feeling for Mrs.Hillary and her heart bled for Mrs.Clinton. She could not help feeling as to how Bill Clinton could do this to her; His stupid act has gone beyond humiliation and destroyed the very fabric of their joint project; she could see how desparate he was to win back her approval.
In their moments of crisis, it was the mature handling of their daughter, Chelesea, that had finally helped in keeping them together. While she stood firm behind her mother, yet she was magnanimous enough to pardon her father and thus brought about a reconciliation, but the trails the entire episode has left behind cannot be erased.
