Stanley: Shame on Monica Lewinsky
CNN ^ | October 21, 2014 | Timothy Stanley

Posted on 10/21/2014 8:01:19 PM PDT by Bettyprob

Shameless. There's no other word to describe Monica Lewinsky. Sixteen years after her affair with President Bill Clinton became public knowledge, she's returned to the limelight with a campaign against cyberbullying -- of which she claims to have been "patient zero."

Ignore the fact that she was patently not the primary victim in the Zippergate affair (poor Hillary Clinton was) or that any comparison with someone suffering a disease, especially at a time when people are dropping dead from Ebola, is tasteless in the extreme.

What's most depressing is that when she rejoined the public stage, she said she was inspired to speak out by the story of Tyler Clementi, a student who committed suicide after a video of him kissing another boy went up online. Young Clementi was the victim of societal homophobia as well as an invasion of his privacy, and his death makes any comparison with Lewinsky's self-imposed troubles ridiculous. Moreover, Clementi died in 2010. Lewinsky has decided to revisit his cause in 2014, suggesting that the timing may have less to do with him than it does with Hillary Clinton.

I saw some of her speech and thought a lot of what she said was on point. I felt she was once a young and immature girl who made a bad decision and was brutalized by Hillary’s political machine. She had me in her corner until she played the victim card and blamed Drudge. Now she is back in the bimbo column and will stay there.

For a long time I really didn’t believe all the stories of Clinton’s various crimes including a lot of murders.

I now totally believe them. I would put nothing beyond the Clintons.

Clinton is a pervert perjurer. Lewinsky was a foolish young lady who is still a fool. She wasn’t an Internet bullying victim, she was red meat to the War Room bimbo squad saved only by Slicks DNA.

reporting news makes a homewrecker a heroine? Lewinsky is still not right in the head. She’s a cold as Bill Clinton who defiled the workplace with immorality

It should be noted that Mary had recently fired one of the low-wage guys. In the end, taking over two years, local cops went back and tied this one guy to the execution-murder. Originally, he confessed, then he recanted....saying cops put too much pressure on him.

The thing is....not one dime was taken during the episode...while thousands sat there. When they left (believed to be three), they locked the door. This led the cops to only believe that it was an insider.

Generally, cops agree there were three people in the execution, but so far, only one has come to be identified and it would appear the case is closed with the one guy (Carl D Cooper) and he’s doing life in prison.

Over all, it would appear that a massive amount of rage was directed at Ms Mahoney, the former boss who fired Carl.

Shames not the only thing that got on Monica,and she’s just proving that class is not her forte.

Lewinsky’s speech was breathtakingly fatuous.

LOL! WTF?!!! Unless Hillary Clinton arranged Bill's liason I fail to see how she was affected by this. Did she divorce him? No. Did she denounce him? No. She rode his coattails to bigger and better things.

Now she is ridign to the "rescue" of Democrats who want a "Clinton Democrat" to lean on. Seems to me Hillary is riding Monica's cigar as far as she can.

Linda Tripp was a whistle-blower who not only was not afforded whistle-blower protection, the White House via Ken Bacon illegally released her employment application in order to smear her.

Po’ Hillary is a co-rapist, and a misogynist. Her goal was to help Bill control bimbo eruptions, and destroy the bimbos. Hillary is nothing but a slutty bottom feeder, Bill’s chief scumbag.

I do feel a little sorry forMonica. Her life had been ruined while Bill and Hill go along their merry way. She was star struck and he took advantage of that as her boss and as the president.

Lots of girls have had this happen to them but thankfully no one knows about it and they can redeem themselves. Monica will pay forever.
