Bill Clinton: Monica Lewinsky affair was to ‘manage my anxieties’

He’s never heard of Prozac?

Bill Clinton waves off his tawdry affair with then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky in a new documentary — by saying it was something he did “to manage my anxiety.”

The ex-president, in the upcoming Hulu series “Hillary” about his wife, likens working in the Oval Office to being a boxer “staggering” around after a 15-round prize fight that’s been extended to 30-rounds.

“And here’s something that’ll take your mind off it for a while,” Clinton, 73, says of his two-year tryst with Lewinsky that began in 1995 when she was 22.

“Everybody’s life has pressures and disappointments, terrors, fears of whatever,” he continues.

“Things I did to manage my anxieties for years.”

Episode three of the one-sided, four-part biography series about Hillary Clinton — which premieres Friday — focuses on the sordid, 25-year-old affair that almost ended Clinton’s presidency and dogged his wife throughout her own political career.

Titled “The Hardest Decision,” the episode leads with footage from the 2016 campaign in which President Trump talks about the scandalous liaison, calling Hillary “an enabler.”

It later cuts to Bill’s deposition in Paula Jones’ sexual harassment lawsuit against him, in which he was asked detailed questions about Lewinsky.

Isn’t that why most people have sex? That plus the fun diversion, of course.

Most married middle age men have lots of anxiety.

Most manage to keep it in their pants.

What a jerk BC is, always has been.

I would think at least two of his immediate predecessors and the republicans who came after managed deeper challenges than he faced without chasing skirts. Thanks for admitting that you were NEVER up to the task, BJ!

She’s running. Or else she’s Joe’s pick for VP and is trying to rehab her fat lying traitorous azz..

It would be entertaining to have both the top spot’s and second spot’s candidates both under federal investigation...

whacking off stopped working long ago... after the cocaine took over. What an a@@hole this clown - he never DID his JOB! in the first place. Stress, indeed.

He missed bin Laden... twice! By choice and indecision.

1) Like the Bidens in Ukraine, it's hands off or getting impeached for investigating an opponent.

2) Barr and Durham will announce: There is no foundation for any investigation or indictment of either of them. Cases are now formally closed. Then a golf threesome and an expensive dinner with Jeff Sessions.
