American presidents get the scandals they deserve.
Richard Nixon’s paranoia produced Watergate. Ronald Reagan’s indifference contributed to Iran-contra. Bill Clinton’s appetites led to impeachment. And Donald Trump’s delusions — about his singular abilities and the impunity of his office — are propelling the crisis of legitimacy threatening his presidency.

Except Clinton's appetites were less than FDR's, JFK's, LBJ's, maybe Eisenhower's. They had long term affairs and harems of girls, Clinton got 8 blowjibs, 1 per year I suppose. Even "fine respectable" Bush Sr who skipped out on his scandal by stonewalling, lying, delaying and pardoning had his numerous "Cop-a-feels". Clinton didn't "deserve" anything - he just had a mire aggressive, insatiable and meaner press to deal with. As did Gore, who git sidelined before could even be prez so the preas could get nicknames and good sandwiches from Bush. Versailles must be appeased.

The article isn't about whether Clinton et al were fairly judged; the point is the differences between then and now.
