Bill Clinton made a plea yesterday for a new emphasis on monogamy as a key element in the battle against Aids.
The former US president, not noted for his ability to keep his own marriage vows, said it was very important to change people's attitudes to sex.
In an interview with the BBC recorded in Africa, Mr Clinton said that increasing support for monogamy was not just a problem for the continent worst hit by Aids but for the world.
"To pretend we can ever get hold of this without dealing with that – the idea of unprotected sexual relations with unlimited numbers of partners – I think would be naïve," he said.
Experts believe that the nature of Africans' relationships may help explain the continent's high rate of Aids. Research suggests a higher frequency of overlapping sexual partnerships.
Mr Clinton said the main challenge to fighting Aids in Africa was improving health services, not a lack of money.
"You can get the universal treatment – the money's there now, if we spend it most effectively. But we don't have the health care systems."

Didn’t JFK get a number of STD treatments while in the White House?
Did Bill Clinton ever release his own medical records?

Ok...if that ain't a case of the pot calling the kettle black! How can a professional, documented philander stand there with a straight face and say that...just another example of do as I say not as I do!

I am not sure who is worst, Bill Clinton preaching about staying faithful or Al Gore preaching about reducing energy use.

I want to see video of this. I want to see him say this and still manage to keep a straight face. If he can do that, he’s got the Best Actor Oscar locked up for the next, well, FOREVER.

While less likely than intercourse, yes. Which makes his statements even more hypocritical.

Typical democrat/liberal total dishonesty and hypoocrisy. John Edwards commonly gives similar lectures on morality.
