On this day in 1998, the world had to dig deep and ask itself, “What does the word ‘is’ mean?” Thank President Bill Clinton, who caused the linguistic existential crisis during his grand jury testimony regarding his affair with Monica Lewinsky. The entire case was long, drawn-out and complicated, starting with the Whitewater investigation, winding into Paula Jones’ sexual harassment charges and ending with the revelation of Clinton’s affair with Lewinsky. If you want to dive down that rabbit hole, I suggest CNN’s timeline. Here are the basics: Independent counsel Ken Starr had been looking into the Clintons for years, starting with their Whitewater real estate investments. The Paula Jones sexual harassment charges led to Starr uncovering the Lewinsky affair. Clinton denied having a sexual relationship with Lewinsky while he was under oath for a deposition for the Jones case.
