Pervasive
Hi, I'm not sure if "Pervasive" mean "spreading" because if they wanted to write speard they would have write it from the first place, what other meaning it has ?
"The other thing was Bill—more specifically his personal life, which rumors were running rampant.
Not since the Lewinsky era had they been more pervasive, the topic of tittering in every quadrant of the Democratic Establishment from New York to Boston to Los Angeles."

Hi,
You are ignoring the subtleties of the words.
For example,
pervasive suggests that something has spread to many others.
common just suggests that something is in many places.
