No, there is no such thing as good publicity. Everything is about the bad.
Why do you think the media was obsessed on whether or not Clinton got a quickie?

Perhaps because if he had, he had commited perjury, and thus had broken the law? YA THINK?

You know, I love it how the Republicans keep bitching about the Impeachment. I mean, c'mon, you did a piss-poor job of presenting your case, you lost, "innocent until proven guilty" and all that (oh, wait -- I'm a bleeding heart liberal, real Americans don't believe in "innocent until proven guilty", in fact, they want to kill all the lawyers), so get over it, or get a fucking life. One of the two. Either way, you lost, stop being sore losers. Jesus Fucking Christ.

Doesn't matter.
Like I said, and thanks for backing me up, there is no such thing as good publicity.

All publicity is good publicity, even if it's something bad that's being reported. One would think that the President of the U.S. of A. being impeached for an alleged sexual affair would be a bad thing, but it boosted Clinton's ratings through the roof, so it was good publicity.
Except, of course, for those who are still going apeshit about it ... ::yeesh::

Clinton was only lucky that public opinion turned in his favour. Had the Republicans weren't so overzealous for their thirst for blood, then things would have turned out quite differently.
The Publicity was still bad.
The Republicans did not capture the opportunity to make it worse.
Clinton managed to turn things around nicely in his favour.
Most things the media report about is bad, and can usually hurt a person's credibility and pride if said person does not react properly to bad stuff. Clinton did an excellent job in doing so. Unfortunately, Newt Gingrich wasn't so lucky.

Jeff, you're an idiot. Tahna implied a falsehood, and I called him on it. What does that have to do with whether Clinton was convicted of his crimes or not?
As a secondary point, repeating the same tired cliche does nothing to prove it. Make an argument or shut up.
