Surprisingly, I was not embarrassed about the infamous cigar
incident. I felt that it had been an act of restraint from actual intercourse.
Kind of tender and playful. Now, if it had been a Cuban cigar, that would
have been illegal. But this was not the sort of intimacy that I would have
felt comfortable performing with the First Lady. Hillary and I are really
close, but as I’m sure you understand, no cigar.
For her, the most revealing thing in The Starr Report is Monica’s
fantasy about our—Monica and me—being together more often when I’ll
be out of office; where she quotes me as saying, “I might be alone in
three years.” Hillary was furious, not only because it had provided a
young intern with false encouragement, but also because it implied that
we--Hillary and me--don’t have sex, and she felt it divulged our
agreement that if we were to separate, it would not occur before we left
the White House.
For me, the most revealing section—in that same section of the
report—is Monica’s testimony that I jokingly said, “Well, what are we
going to do when I’m seventy-five and I have to pee twenty-five times a
day?” True, I did say that, but I really wasn’t joking. In fact, it was my
fear of old age that kept drawing me to Monica. She was my direct link to
youth. So I was being literal about peeing twenty-five times a day when
