It greatly crippled his presidency, though. While he survived, there
were so many distractions that very little of what he wanted to
accomplish ever got done.

Oh, c'mon. Hillary more than whined; she called for the firing of a
new commentator who used the expression "pimped out" in regards to
Chelsea. Anyone who's not been under a haystack for the last 20 years
knows that that expression has nothing to do with prostitution, but
she acted as though it was extremely offensive. And "minor things"
said by an ex-President are greatly amplified to the point where they
are no longer minor.
