MONICA CLOSES BOOK ON BUBBA
New York Post - Page Six ^ | 6/22/04 | Richard Johnson with Paula Froelich and Chris Wilson

Posted on 06/21/2004 11:49:26 PM PDT by kattracks

MONICA Lewinsky — in Little Rock, Ark., for a wedding this past weekend — was invited to tour the Clinton Presidential Library. But she declined.

The former White House intern — a bridesmaid of Ashley Linus Raines, her best friend from their days in the West Wing during the Bill Clinton administration — was overheard at the reception laughing with other guests about a phone call a member of the wedding party received.

Sources say the caller was one of the directors of the Clinton Presidential Library offering out-of-town guests an exclusive peek at the unfinished shrine to the ex-president. And the Clintonite specifically asked "if Monica would be joining them."

[snip]

Meanwhile, Lewinsky is said to have spent all profits from "Monica's Story," her 1999 memoir. (There wasn't much left over after paying her legal bills.) And her handbag-designing firm is nearly out of business, sources say. "She's one of the only people who didn't make any money out of this situation," Hutson said. "She's suffered the most out of everyone."

Monicas should have given a visit to The Library (the adult book store). She could have checked out the gold sink Clinton had installed in the main foyer.

I hear the Clinton library is going to have an authentic replica of the oval office. I wonder if it's going to also have a room off of the oval office where the acts constituting the Clinton legacy occurred.

A friend of Lewinsky said, "It's not only an insult to Monica. It's an insult to his wife and daughter. It's an insult to every woman in the country." --

Let's not go overboard here. Monica afterall was giving hummers because she was good at it and liked doing it. If anything, some folks could call her an insult to many women. Hummm.

"She's one of the only people who didn't make any money out of this situation," Hutson said.

She chose to live in overpriced Manhattan, which is the worst place to go if you want to make and save money.

Monica complains that she cannot get dates with men. Who would kiss a woman that her claim to fame was where her mouth had been?

Well, cry me a Potomac.

Correct me if I'm misremembering, but didn't Clinton arrange for a $32K job for her with Ken Bacon over at the Pentagon? I think the fringe benefits of that job included free trips to Europe. And after she blew it with Bacon, didn't Clinton get her a similar job with Bill Richardson over at the UN? I think he did. Then when bubba needed to shuffle her into private sector he had Vermin Jordan get her some more overpaid busy work with Revlon, which she lost when the scandal broke wide open. Then there were all the gifts and that Weight Watcher's gig she never would have gotten if she hadn't spent major time on her knees in the oval office. Meanwhile, all those other WH interns were working for peanuts. Say, didn't Monica say she was going to go to law school a few years ago? I wonder what happened to that?

Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton, and everyone involved with this whole mess should be shamed. Someday when folks have a chance to glance back on the past, they're going to see an entirely different picture.

The affair was disgraceful. The lies were disgraceful. But the most disgraceful part of the whole situation was to bring it into the homes of millions of children during their viewing hours. Legal pornography, that's what is was.

I know this for fact. I was raised during a time it was strictly forbidden to say anything that would disgrace a woman. Even when sexual relations did occur, it was considered a chivalrous act to deny rather then admit. I don't believe this was behind the Clinton lie, but I believe he used the presumption of this honorable practice to gloss over his misdeeds.

All-in-all, Clinton should do something honorable to give Monica Lewinsky back the honor he stole. And for all those that thought this appropriate subject matter for children after school, they shouldn't be trusted around children.

Actually, bubba hid behind hillary and chelsea, claiming he lied because he wanted to spare them the embarassment. Such a guy! (Of course, his lies had nothing to do with derailing the Jones suit or the grand jury investigation.)

She should have told the whole truth when she had the chance. But she was under the delusion that her "soulmate" Bill Clinton would somehow reward her one day. I wonder if she's finally given up hope that Bill would leave Hillary for her.

Ashley Raines - daughter of Arkansas businesswoman Linus Raines, an old Clinton pal - has told independent counsel Kenneth Starr that Lewinsky also told her she was having an affair with the president. The White House has dismissed the report as "misinformation," but Ashley Raines so far hasn't issued her own denial.

Circumstantial evidence suggests that Ashley Raines and Lewinsky are good friends. On the two days in December and January that Lewinsky flew to New York for job interviews with Revlon - courtesy of job-finder extraordinaire and Clinton pal Vernon Jordan - she phoned Ashley Raines from the airplane, calling Raines' direct line in the White House.

According to credit-card reports Lewinsky also phoned her own voice-mail number, as well as Currie, on both trips.

Ashley Raines began her White House career in the summer of 1993 as an intern in the Office of Management and Administration under David Watkins' supervision. She later assisted then-White House special-hearings counsel Matthew Moore, a figure in the Travelgate investigation, who mentioned Ashley Raines in a 1995 deposition given to the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee.

Ironically, Linus Raines is the general manager of Little Rock's Excelsior Hotel - the now-notorious venue for the alleged Clinton encounter with Paula Corbin Jones. Along with Hillary Rodham Clinton, Linus Raines was named in 1991 by a state business magazine as one of Arkansas' most influential women leaders. She has had numerous contacts with the Clintons in the years leading up to and since their move to the White House. Included was Linus Raines' attendance at a summer 1995 Clinton-Gore fund-raiser held at the Excelsior, which raised $1 million to boost the president's then-uncertain reelection effort.

And a year prior, Linus Raines was invited to attend a White House state dinner in honor of the emperor of Japan. The guest list also included Masahiko Kasuga, the current owner of the Excelsior, whose father, Tokio, once was named by then-Gov. Clinton as Arkansas' "ambassador for tourism." Linus Raines herself was named to the president's 1995 White House Conference on Travel and Tourism.

Moanica was under Clinton's desk in seconds b/c he told her he needed to get serviced before considering getting her a better govt job.

An art work of Moanica's mouth----maybe guache pressed on glass--- should also have been hung in the Liebrary. After all it commemorates one of his most memorable legacies.

Of course, slutsky Lewinsky still doesn't "get it" that her mouth is the reason fo her fame.

What is really disgraceful are the republicans who voted not to impeach this criminal! What was really disgraceful was Hillary covering up for and excusing this Clown that she married, for her own selfish gain.
What is really disgraceful are the News media fools and the Hollywood Stooges who continue to support the former Clown president.
But, then again birds of a feather still flock together.

"The ex-prez also revealed that the "worst thing" about being a civilian again was "walking into a room and not having a song played."

No, Billy, the worst thing is having 3,000 fellow citizens incinerated because of your failures. Additionally, Clinton was never anything but a civilian. Private citizen again, perhaps, but at no time in the same category as police, firefighter, or military.

Semper Fi,

She realized she could never be a lawyer when she correctly defined is.

Meanwhile, she drifts. Like a hollow log. Collecting the discarded debris of others. While she slowly edges toward the shallow pool of all the others whose 15 minutes were foolishly wasted. And that's where she will remain.
She could have changed her course. I don't pity her at all.

Do you think the story is true? I've got to think that any Clinton employee who invited Monica to tour the library would be looking for another job. On the other hand, maybe the library is so desperate for publicity (to boost funding) that they actually would do this? Then back to the other hand (or foot, at this point), is having Monica there really a good fund raising move? I wondered about the accuracy of this story, and resolved it in my own mind by remembering that Clinton's supporters will do anything... nothing surprises me anymore, so entirely possible this is true.

I'll never forget when my cherubic-faced Kindergartner said, "Mommy, what are presidential kneepads?"

After I regained my breath, I stuttered something about "maybe the President was installing new vinyl flooring and wore kneepads to protect his knees. You know, like Daddy did when he put down the new vinyl in the kitchen."

Can you imagine Clinton laying vinyl? LOL. Hey, it was the best I could come up with.

Monica is (or was, maybe she's figured it out) a pathetic, self-deluded creature with no self-respect. She "serviced" Clinton under his desk, thinking it was "love", while Clinton couldn't even remember her name. She actually thought that he'd leave the Beast for her, and they'd settle down and start a family. Absolutely pathetic. And her parents still supported Clinton. Any normal man would have at least wanted to go after the scoundral Bill with a baseball bat for abusing and humiliating his daughter. And then, sat his daughter down for a loooooong talk about her behavior.

Maybe so..but at my company (a large corporation), a top-executive who "had power" over a female half his age, would probably have earned an early retirement for his part in the behavior..

The Liberal Media is still in full "spin" mode about Clinton's Presidency, by repeating this lie:

"Clinton was Impeached by the Congress for his affair with an intern."

No--Clinton was obstructing justice in a sexual harassment lawsuit brought by a woman who was seeking justice. Her lawyers were gathering evidence that Clinton was a repeat sexual offender and abuser. In fact, this search brought forth evidence this was true---Wiley, Broadderick, and a host of other victims.

Clinton was Impeached for purjery, obstruction of justice, and high crimes.

Spin that--liberal press.

Unfortunately for Monica she is marked for the rest of her life, not likely that there was anyone around no matter how much she liked doing it that informed her the price her enjoyment would eventually cost her.

Personally, I have far more tolerance for "ignorance" than I do for those who blame their deeds and acts on "demons". One thing is for sure and certain Monica can no longer claim "ignorance" bj himself made sure of that.

The old saw about how you won't be respected if you do certain things is still true today. Personal responsibility goes along with that. I can't see why people can't understand a simple rule of life. Why does she expect the public to excuse her?
