Monica Lewinsky has described her feelings of outrage at the furore that has blown up around a woman accused of having an affair with US presidential hopeful Senator John Kerry.

Alex Polier, 27, a journalism graduate, has denied being involved with Mr Kerry, a 60-year-old married father-of-two, but her private life has still been the focus of intense speculation, something that has angered Ms Lewinsky.

Earlier this week the graduate broke her silence and said: "I have never had a relationship with Senator Kerry, and the rumours in the press are completely false."

She added: "Whoever is spreading these rumours and allegations does not know me. I never interned or worked for John Kerry."

Ms Lewinsky told ITV News: "I really just felt empathic for the girl, the young woman, and for her family and at the same time I was really outraged because I thought once again we have politics dipping into someone's personal life and whether it's true or not, it shouldn't matter. It should just be left alone."

Ms Lewinsky made the headlines herself after her affair with then President Bill Clinton was exposed and she found herself besieged by the world's press.

Talking about whether the public should be interested in a presidential candidate's private life she said: "I would really hope people are finally starting to smarten up about this and are starting to judge a candidate for his knowledge and accomplishments, rather than his personal life.

"You know, I've heard it before but it bears repeating: We're electing a President, not a priest."

Ms Lewinsky said her life was still affected by the scandal involving her and Mr Clinton.

"It's been several years. It's been part of history. I continue to re-evaluate how it affects my life," she said.

"Some days I think I'm great and I'm doing fine ... and other days I question a lot about my life. I have gotten through so much, and I have learned so much."

From the No-One-Can-Make-This-Stuff-Up Department (or, perhaps, the Thanks-But-No-Thanks Department).... the famed smoker of the ol' Presidential stogie goes to bat for the massager of Massachusetts meat!

Monica, you fat empty-headed slut, keep your mouth shut (and I mean that in every way). Nobody cares anymore.

[DJ Frisat]

Geez, Monica -- keep your mouth shut. Remember what happened last time you opened it...

[camle]

so like who cares what this overweight underbrained c@cks*cker thinks?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Oh, for heaven's sake, she loves it.

[mhking]

And who really cares what the chunky slut has to say today?

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[Living Free in NH]

She's all choked up. What a gutterslut.

[Lance Romance]

I'm sure another protein shake will calm her down.

The Monica Lewinsky I.Q. calculation formula:

Divide her weight by 2 (= 95), subtract her waist measurements (= 44), add number of times she says, "Oh, my gawd" per conversation (= 20)....

[marty60]

Ditto that big time.

Monica Lewinsky has described her feelings of outrage at the furore that has blown up around a woman accused of having an affair with US presidential hopeful Senator John Kerry.

She's just jealous.

[T Minus Four]

The whole thing leaves a bad taste in her mouth. She should just suck it up.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Kinda takes after her dad, don't you think ?

[fish hawk]

The one bad thing about proving yourself a slut is that no one really cares what you think.

[PeteFromMontana]

Oh thank goodness. I am soooooo glad Lewinsky told us what she thinks. Now my life is complete.

(sneering sarcasm off)

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Monica sharing her opinions with the press? Gee, are sales of her designer hand bags down?

[OpusatFR]

Oh yes. Moral instruction from Monica.

[Cultural Jihad]

"... and at the same time I was really outraged because I thought once again we have [politicians] dipping into someone's personal life ..."

Corrected your noun.

[Irene Adler]

It has struck me that the one thing Monica wants is almost certainly to marry a man with money (lots and lots). What are the chances that any rich guy (given the population of would-be mates rich men have to choose from) would ever marry a hefty, dim-bulb woman who is a walking dirty joke mentioned periodically on late-night television comedy shows? She doesn't appear to be improving with age, either. An endless, futile search for a rich husband is Monica's probable life sentence though I doubt she's perceptive enough to be aware of the futility aspect.

This from the woman who kept America in front of their TV sets every night for most of a decade. She is still seeking publicity and must be down on her luck to collect!!
