    Well, my friend, that right there tells me you did not grow up before the 90s 😂

    It was a HUGE fucking deal. Literally all the media talked about. Leader of the free world getting blowjobs from an intern. And remember, “the media” did not include social media (early consumer Internet was barely a thing) it just meant the major networks ABC, CBS, NBC and the major newspapers NYT and a few others.

        Of course not dumbass. Nor is that what I said. OP asked about it being a big deal, and at the time it was a HUGE deal. Front page news for months even years, when “front page” meant something that it doesn’t anymore.
