Monica Lewinsky recalls pain, humiliation after revelation of affair with Bill Clinton
New York Daily News ^ | October 20, 2014 | BY ADAM EDELMAN

Monica Lewinsky was "in love" with former President Clinton, the disgraced former intern revealed Monday.

"Sixteen years ago, fresh out of college … I fell in love with my boss," the infamous former White House staffer told a business conference Monday during an eye-opening speech about her devastating experience in the public eye following the revelation of her affair with Clinton — her first public address in 13 years.

"Overnight I went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one. I was patient zero," she said, according to reporters present at the Forbes magazine "30 Under 30" summit, where Lewinsky spoke. "The first person to have their reputation completely destroyed by the Internet."

Lewinsky, now 41, has slowly resumed a media presence this year after more than a decade of silence following the infamous affair.

If the affair never became public, she’d probably be secretary of a cabinet department by now. That’s how Democrats reward loyal airheads, to wit, Susan Rice, Lois Lerner, et al.

Can’t we talk about other important stuff, like what kind of underwear Rutherford B. Hayes wore?

“Overnight I went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one. I was patient zero,” she said, according to reporters. “It left a bad taste in my mouth.”

But she is sticking to her story that they were NOT “involved”

If that`s the case that they were not involved, I dont quite get the thinking?

Did they think they were good as long as it did not go further, and only sin if they went all the way?

Trying to get my mind around it

‘”The first person to have their reputation completely destroyed by the Internet.”

Apparently her decisions & actions had nothing to do with it.

poor girl, All I remember was her enjoying the fame at the time. After all, she did save the dress and didn’t have it cleaned. Oh and I don’t remember anyone twisting her arm to tell all.

Part of me feels bad for her. It would be a bit different if he wasn’t a predator which he most clearly is. She shouldn’t have allowed anything to happen but I understand how a young intern who is suddenly receiving the attention of the President could become infatuated with the idea even as he was simply using her. This is one of many examples why sex matters and social issues matter. People get hurt.
