She believed she was someone, because she could attract and “entertain” the president... the most powerful man on the earth.
The reality was that her eagerness to uh, please was happily used and abused by a filthy, despicable rat who thought nothing of abusing his position of power over an insecure, starstruck intern who had zero self-respect.
These kinds of dysfunctional relationships are nothing new, but considering that in her case it became world news, leaving her to be seen by all - and for all time - as the slutty bimbo who even gained a permanent placename in the lexicon of the vulgar, I can see why she is where she is.
I may be in the minority around here but I feel sorry for her. She had to have had major daddy issues of abandonment. Yes, she was a foolish, trashy young woman, but evil Bill Clinton took full advantage of her immaturity and vulnerability and not only destroyed her psyche, but her ability to have a normal life.
Whatever family abandonment or abuse issues occurred with the grimy kenyan were not only out of the public eye, he chose to repay evil for even more evil (and that’s assuming he even has such an excuse), and punish an entire country for the sins of his elders. Or just destroy for the amusement of a power trip. No sympathy. Monica was relegated to a life with Ben and Jerry and a spoon.
Good post. I also feel sad for all young women who believe the world’s lies and don’t understand their true dignity and destiny.
