I think Jordan is probably right that Whitewater has more to do with the Clinton's Us Against Them mentality than Lewinsky. For one thing, Whitwater came first. It lasted longer. It involved Hillary Clinton far more directly, and to a far greater degree. And it was totally made up. It led to a $60 million investigation that discovered no wrongdoing, but that eventually diverted itself to focus on Lewinsky. So to the Clintons, Whitewater probably underlies the Grand Unified Theory of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
