Best known for his sordid infidelity with a young Whitehouse intern called Monica Lewinsky involving a cigar.

In an ill-fated attempt to draw attention away from his inability to keep his trousers on, Bill Clinton attempted to mediate a peace deal between Israel and Palestine in his final days in office. Apparently it never occurred to him that bringing people who hate each other into close contact does not breed understanding, but contempt. The result was a higher kill-rate than they had seen in decades.

In retrospect Clinton may prefer to be remembered for his extra-marital indiscretions. They were initially enjoyable for him, unknown to his wife, and confusing for Monica. Eventually though they were embarrassing for him, upsetting for his wife, and very very profitable for Monica, who made millions from selling her story. For some of us the most revealing thing is how good at lying a practiced politician is. When Bill said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" he was totally believable. He ended up with egg on his face, but at least that egg was unfertilized (unlike Monica's dress).
