NEW YORK, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- A new book says President Clinton was one of the smartest men to ever occupy the White House but had an immature attitude when it came to sex.
The book quotes NPR reporter Nina Totenberg, who covered the Clinton administration's most inglorious moment when Republicans got Clinton impeached for lying about having sex with Monica Lewinsky, the New York Daily News reported Friday.
Clinton had the "mentality of an 18-year-old" when it came to sex, Totenberg is quoted as saying.
That assessment appears in "A Complicated Man: The Life of Bill Clinton as Told by Those Who Know Him" by Michael Takiff.
Totenberg says she believes it was Clinton's inability to face his wife Hillary Clinton that led him to make the fateful lie.
Clinton aides like Paul Begala said they believed the president when he went on television and denied having sex with Lewinsky. UPI
