FULL TITLE: "Al Gore blamed Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky for costing him the presidency – but power-mad Hillary had already torn apart the president and the VP" Al Gore never forgave Bill Clinton for 'betraying' him over the Monica Lewinsky scandal and costing him the 2000 election, a new book reveals. A new book claims that Gore felt Clinton's 'impeachment cast a permanent shadow on their joint accomplishments' and ruined his chance of succeeding him as president. Gore's camp thought that Clinton 'did not want Gore to succeed' against George W Bush after he was impeached following his...

Former President Bill Clinton says that, even in light of the #MeToo movement, he would not have approached how he dealt with Monica Lewinsky any differently and acknowledged that — 20 years after their relationship made headlines — he’s still never apologized privately to the former intern. "I don't think it would be an issue," the ex-president told NBC News' Craig Melvin in an interview that aired Monday on the "Today" show, after he was asked if he would have "approached the accusations differently" if he were president in 2018 "with everything that’s going on with the #MeToo movement." "Because...

In a new interview set to air this weekend on CBS Sunday Morning, former President Bill Clinton will respond for the first time to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s (D-NY) assertion that he should have resigned over the Lewinsky affair. “You have to—really ignore what the context was,” Clinton says, according to a CBS transcript. “But, you know, she’s living in a different context. And she did it for different reasons. So, I—but I just disagree with her."

Canadian classical pianist Glenn Gould had a piano partially converted to a harpsichord, piano hammers removed, replaced with posts & quills. The harsh sound was described as "2 Skeletons Copulating on a Corrugated Tin Roof". An apt word cartoon to symbolize the motivation of end-stage Western civilization. Doing It with anything, everything, all the time, is not sex, which makes babies, creates the new world, unites couples and weaves the seamless fabric of the next society after this one winds down its inglorious suicide. Catholic sex tracker Mary Eberstadt considers it a new religion. She doesn't call it, its proper...

Bill Clinton waived to a pedestrian and gave the thumbs up while his black SUV idled at a stop light in New York City — but the mood changed quickly when the man yelled “How’s Monica?”

Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky is calling for a “cultural revolution” in how people consume online news so that “more shame" no longer means “more clicks” and more advertising income. Lewinsky told hundreds of privacy professionals Tuesday “we need to communicate online with compassion, consume news with compassion, and click with compassion." "Just imagine walking a mile in someone else’s headline," she said in a Washington speech that was contractually closed to the press.

NEW YORK -- Monica Lewinsky says the affair that led to impeachment proceedings against President Bill Clinton "was not sexual assault" but "constituted a gross abuse of power." Lewinsky writes in the March issue of "Vanity Fair" that she is "in awe of the sheer courage" of women who've been confronting "entrenched beliefs and institutions." The former White House intern says she was recently moved to tears when a leader of the #MeToo movement told her, "I'm so sorry you were so alone."

Could that be, Ms. Lewinsky because you were expecting an apology from the wrong man? Monica Lewinsky’s Chance Encounter with Ken Starr Makes it to Vanity Fair as #Me-Too Story After all these years, Whitewater counsel Ken Starr, as it turns out, gives Monica Lewinsky, of blue dress infamy, “the creeps”. You can’t make this stuff up, unless that is, you’re willing to wipe out with a magic eraser, the proven perversion of Hillary’s errant husband Bill Clinton.

Juanita Broaddrick, hello? Or does the name Paula Jones perhaps ring a bell? CNN political analyst Karoun Demirjian tried this morning to downplay the seriousness of Bill Clinton’s sexual misconduct compared to that alleged of Roy Moore. In Moore’s case, said Demirjian, “those were children.” [To her credit, host Alisyn Camerota jumped in and suggested “underage” instead of “children.”] As for Clinton, the only specific case Demirjian mentioned was that of Monica Lewinsky. Demirjian described it as an “affair” that “might have been consensual.” Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

A former White House staffer for President Bill Clinton said housekeepers were constantly afraid of the president's lewd impulses, to the point where they had to take measures to protect themselves. "The housekeeping staff was afraid to bend over in his presence," said Linda Tripp, the White House employee who eventually exposed the relationship between Clinton and colleague Monica Lewinsky.

How many people vote based on an audio of someone using lewd language? And not the issues? Not sure. Looks like there's some. "Williams has been asking for a DNA test from Bill Clinton for decades. The Clintons claimed there was a DNA test which disproved Bill was the father, but it was later reported there was never a test." There is nothing complicated here. Mr. Williams wants a DNA test. So why won't Bill Clinton comply? If Mr. Williams is Bill Clinton's son, the DNA test will show that. And if he is not Bill Clinton's son, the DNA...

Bill Clinton‘s alleged lovechild is asking Monica Lewinsky to allow him to conduct DNA testing on the notorious stain on her blue Gap dress! Arkansas construction worker Danney Lee Williams Jr., 30, told Radar in an exclusive interview that he believes the dress is the vital clue to his bombshell claim that he’s Clinton’s son by an Africa-American prostitute! Lewinsky, now 43, testified the stain resulted from a sex act that she performed on Clinton at the White House on February 28, 1997 and FBI documents confirmed it was a perfect match for the Cheater-in-Chief’s DNA. Father-of-five Williams told Radar:...

Bill Clinton self-proclaimed secret love child is appealing to borrow Monica Lewinsky's notorious stained dress to conduct DNA testing. Danney Lee Williams Jr., 30, believes that the former White House intern's famous blue dress contains the key to proving that he is the former president's illegitimate son. Williams has long claimed that he is the son of Clinton who met his prostitute mother while she was working on the streets of Little Rock, he claims. The 30-year-old's claims garnered international attention in 1992, as then-Arkansas Gov Clinton was gearing up to run for president. Just last month, Williams had threatened...

Imagine: even the New York Times’ Ross Douthat now thinks that Bill Clinton should have stepped down over the Monica Lewinsky affair. Douthat's mea culpa op-ed in this past weekend’s paper, in which he confesses that he and others may have been wrong to dismiss Bill Clinton’s indefensible behavior, will serve as the official political obituary for Clinton, Inc. Hillary Clinton is done, finished, kaput. Dogged by scandals old and new, out of step politically, her excess baggage has morphed into an entire baggage train, dragging her towards political oblivion. While it is refreshing to consider the landscape unadorned by...

Anyone who thinks Bill Clinton has “more than paid” for any of his misconduct is completely out of touch. However, that’s exactly what Obama’s former chief of staff, Leon Panetta, is saying about Clinton’s Oval-Office affair with Monica Lewinsky. Does Panetta also think Clinton has “more than paid” for what he’s done to the countless other women he allegedly abused, raped, groped, and harassed? The same women who Hillary trashed and abused again? From Breitbart Saturday on CNN, former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, a chief of staff to former President Bill Clinton, said that Clinton “more than paid the price”...

Full title........................Fmr. Clinton Aide Blasts Gillibrand as ‘Hypocrite’ for Saying 42nd President Should Have Resigned Over Lewinsky Scandal........................."Things have changed today, and I think under those circumstances there should be a very different reaction," Gillibrand continued. Reines didn't agree. "Ken Starr spent $70 million on a consensual blowjob. Senate voted to keep POTUS WJC. But not enough for you @SenGillibrand? Over 20 yrs you took the Clintons’ endorsements, money, and seat. Hypocrite. Interesting strategy for 2020 primaries. Best of luck," Reines fired back on Twitter.

Too little, too late. Still . . . On today’s Morning Joe, in the context of discussing the Lewinsky affair and related matters, Mika Brzezinski said: “I think the days of sort of tiptoeing around the Clintons are over. And I’m fine with it.” Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton says in her new book that Donald Trump made her skin crawl by stalking her around the stage in a campaign debate and she wonders if she should have told him to "back up, you creep". In audio excerpts of the book What Happened aired on MSNBC, Mrs Clinton described her 2016 campaign as "joyful, humbling, infuriating and just plain baffling" and acknowledged she failed her millions of supporters by losing to Trump in the November election. In the excerpts, Mrs Clinton described the 9 October debate in St Louis in which Mr Trump...

Why wasn’t Bill Clinton believed back in the 1990s? Could it have had anything to do with that time he looked into the camera, wagged his finger at the American people, and told them, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky?” Nope. That wasn’t it. People didn’t believe honest ol’ Bill because of “polarization . . . just because of the party.” That was the view expressed on CNN this morning by network commentator Errol Louis. His comment came during a discussion of President Trump’s latest poll ratings on credibility. View the video here.

It was big news when Roger Ailes died. Everyone in his industry acknowledged that a serious, even transcendent force in American media and politics had passed away. Without Fox News over these last 20 years, the shape of American politics would be far different. The heretofore unanimously liberal media suddenly had a counterweight, and, much to their horror, this uppity network soon had surpassed all of its rivals in cable news -- combined. The era of unchallenged liberal enlightenment was over. Ailes was accused of making American dumber, angrier and more bigoted. One notable Ailes critic really stretched reality beyond...
