LOL!

Well, it was awesome how the 50 year old lecherous creep came to her defense, made sure she was ok and looked out for her well being through all of it. A real love story what with the cigars and sink.

I saw some clips, and yes, she pretty much does blame Drudge, complain a lot, and play the victim, so I was wrong.

It doesn't come out so much in the printed transcript, it's more in her delivery.

I guess she wants to cash in and thinks this is the way to do it.

And this is the time, too. The Clintons never were this popular and probably never will be again, so interest in the story may be higher now than at any time since Clinton was president, and Lewinsky can count on a big payout. Plus, getting this out there now will make her story very "old news" when the 2016 primaries roll around.

What's also interesting is that even though she talks very much like a victim, her life will probably be written up a survivor's story. It's easier to sell that way.

In 1991, Monica, complaining that her father wouldn’t pay for a four-year college, enrolled at Santa Monica College while working at a tie shop to help meet expenses. It was at this time that Lewinsky began telling friends she was having an affair with a married teacher at Beverly Hills High. She spoke freely about their trysts, which friends say continued after she transferred in 1993 to Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Ore., where the teacher, Andy Bleiler, later moved with his family; Monica babysat for his children and often brought them presents. Lewinsky graduated in 1995 with a degree in psychology, but the affair apparently continued until sometime last year.

Besieged by reporters, Bleiler, 32—with wife Kathlyn and their lawyer Terry Giles joining him on the couple’s front lawn—last week publicly admitted to the affair, which his wife had learned about from friends. “I couldn’t in good conscience just sit on this stuff and not tell authorities what I know,” said Bleiler. When Lewinsky left Portland to settle in Washington, she reportedly told Kathlyn, “I’m going to the White House to get my presidential knee pads.” On return visits, Lewinsky brought White House souvenirs and tales of a sexual relationship with an unnamed official—”the Creep,” she called him—who wanted to have only oral sex.
