All joking aside (and I think the jokes are funny don’t get me wrong), the Misha Bill Clinton scandal article is actually extremely sweet. Like he really saw an opportunity to speak up for this person who was being so mistreated and took it. Most people on this site are too young to remember how horribly the media treated Monica Lewinsky, how she was dragged through the mud, how her personal and intimate experiences were the subject of headlines and horrible jokes. It was literally ubiquitous- gross sexist jokes about how she was taken advantage of by the most powerful man in the world. I was literally 7 years old at the time the article was written and I was aware of it (probably not in graphic detail but I knew something about a blue dress and an intern and a lying president). And not that it cost him much to do but it still seems meaningful to me that baby Misha really said I’m not going to let that stand, I know something about this and I can say something in her defense and so I will.
