Bill Clinton was so distracted by Monica Lewinsky, he lost track of Osama bin Laden.

That’s according to a new book claiming the scandal that plagued the then-president haunted him to the point that he wasn’t 100% in the game — which allowed for the al Qaeda terrorist to orchestrate the attacks of 9/11.

Doug Schoen, a campaign consultant and political adviser who worked on both Bill and Hillary’s presidential campaigns, made the stunning claim that Clinton let bin Laden get away in Power: The 50 Truths, which hits shelves on Feb. 14.

While Schoen calls Clinton “the most accomplished political operative I have ever met,” he was flabbergasted by how he was unable to avoid temptation, resulting in an 18-month affair with the White House intern.

Primarily, Monica distracted poor old Bill from HilLIARy.
At least that was his goal

Gee, we were all told at the time that his affair with Monica Lewinsky was private behavior, that it was none of our business, and it had nothing to do with his ability to carry out his duties as president. We were told that he had the ability to "compartmentalize", and keep his private affairs separate from his official duties.

Too lazy to look for better.

Caligula had the right idea when he wanted to appoint Incitatus (his horse) a consul (high political office) in the Roman Senate.

Oh, bulls**!! Bin Laden was on the intelligence service radar but he was no where near a priority!

Dark Triad Personality Disorder:

1)“Machiavellianism” Individuals high on Machiavellianism tend to be cynical, do not act in accordance to moral principles, and believe that interpersonal manipulation is the key to life success. Machiavellians also tend to have a looser sense of morality and are more likely to endorse or engage in unethical behavior

2) Narcissism is characterized by an inflated sense of superiority, entitlement, grandiosity, and self-worth, as well as an excessive need for admiration

3) Psychopathic individuals tend to lack remorse, lack empathy, and act in manipulative ways. Psychopathic individuals are also typically highly impulsive, engage in thrill-seeking behavior, and experience minimal anxiety

Hello? Bill Clinton?

I doubt that Clinton was running day to day signals and human intelligence tracking bin Laden, his associates and discovering their plans. Therefore I doubt a plump intern was what kept him from doing anything about bin Laden.

“the most accomplished political operative I have ever met,” he was flabbergasted by how he was unable to avoid temptation,

Then you don't know Clinton even cursorily. He made a career of diving into temptation. If he were in the Garden of Eden, he would have asked the serpent for a couple of apples and maybe a pear too.
