Clinton should marry Lewinsky, says Zhirinovsky
On the eve of a Russia-US summit, nationalist deputy Vladimir Zhirinovsky told Russia's State Duma that US
President Bill Clinton should stay at home and marry Monica Lewinsky.
He advised the American president to leave his wife for Ms Lewinsky, a former White House intern with
whom he has admitted to having had "inappropriate" relations.
"A visit by President Clinton today is untimely, especially considering his recent moral scandal," Ms
Zhirinovsky said. "We, as individuals with high moral character, would prefer not to meet a person who still
can't sort out his relationship with his secretary."
Mr Zhirinovsky has displayed his own moral character by, among other things, beating a female deputy on the
floor of parliament and making a film in which he cavorts with naked women.
