Monica Lewinsky details the events leading up to her first intimate encounter with Bill Clinton in the A&E docuseries The Clinton Affair. It It happened on November 14, 1995, in the middle of the government shutdown when Lewinsky had been called in to help with the phones. On that date there had been a surprise party for one of Clinton's staffers, and at one point Lewinsky realized her thong was exposed while Clinton was near her in the room. Lewinsky opted to keep her thong out as Clinton walked by, and a short while later when she walked by his office, Clinton smiled at her and motioned for her to come into the room.

I love a great, pithy, Free Republic comment that makes me grin with my morning covfefe!
I understand that Clinton never played his saxophone again after picking up the whore Monica.
Where was Hillary?
I call bullshit.
'The process of this docuseries led me to new rooms of shame that I still needed to explore, and delivered me to Grief’s doorstep,' writes Lewinsky.
In other words, there's money on the table and she's going to collect it. With both hands.
Looking back at the last 20 years, one has to marvel first at the arrogance and hubris of the Clinton circus, and then smile and laugh at its ineptitude. Every time I think of the the 2016 election and how awful that must have been for Hillary (and, consequently, Bill) I can't help but smile.
Fran Drescher, sure. Monica, not so much.
Isn't it enough that she degraded the nation, the White House, and the Office of the President. Couldn't she have left the English language alone? Admittedly, she didn't do nearly as much damage to American institutions as the Clintons, but far, far more than her share.
I have always been conflicted by this whole thing.
I don’t think she is particularly unattractive, though I find it sad (and telling) that she has had to constantly try to reinvent her looks and herself, and has never been able to do it. Her name will always be anathema to some, and a ribald joke to others, a funny name for a sexual act.
Like a lot of people, I do find the entire event disgustingly funny, and try as I might, it still hits me in certain ways that are probably un-Christian and inappropriate, but I can’t help it. It is like a cartoon that skewers in a cruel, unusual, and deserved way, someone you dislike (Such as Bill Clinton and the Left)
But I must admit, I do feel bad for her in that defining event of her entire life, in which she willingly participated, took place at a young age, and that was it for her life. That was it. That was all.
It ruined her life for what might have been.
She will never know what she might have been, might have done, who she would fall in love with, what kids she might have had...all she is, stems from that act, which as a young person she enthusiastically embraced.
And as such she became damaged goods. Reviled by the Left, viewed mostly as a soiled sex tool by the right, she became a famous person with no throng of fans.
She was an unknown intern, and she attracted the eye of the most powerful man in the world. And he took full advantage of his position. And it is one of the reasons I despise the Left. She was a tool to service him, something that they decry in concept but embrace in action, they all knew about her, and they ridiculed and spit on her, their creation through their dogma.
Don’t get me wrong. She was a willing participant and is responsible for her actions. And men younger than her have had their entire lives negatively defined by events they willingly participated in, sometimes on battlefields, sometimes on roadways in cars, and no sympathy is given.
But I find something tragic about her. If she had the wisdom of just a few more years, perhaps she would have understood the context of those advances by the President of the United States for what they were...the lecherous advances of someone who wanted to use her as a masturbatory implement and nothing more.
She was too young and immature to see it any other way than...exciting, and as a result, she pulled up her skirt to show him her thong, got her 15 minutes of fame, and the rest is history. I just find it sad. She was young, immature, and driven by a thrill, only to find it was a jar of Dorian Gray with hate, spite, loneliness, and sadness mixed in.
If she can’t stop talking about it, there is a likely reason for that. Like the Ancient Mariner who had to repeatedly tell the tale of the Albatross around his neck, she is compelled to do the same, and for much the same reasons.
I hope to God I never have the Internet Age 15 Minutes of Fame, especially like the kind she had. A Squalid Punchline.
“Don’t get me wrong. She was a willing participant and is responsible for her actions. “
She was a more than willing participant, remember she told a friend she was going to DC to earn her knee pads.
Yes, too bad she was very young and stupid. However, was is really amazing is that she accomplished what she set out to do. And she still does not blame BJ Clinton.
Agreed. I can feel bad for a person who screwed up their life without absolving her of her actions and responsibility.
We make soldiers men at 17. She was in her early twenties when this all went down. She wasn’t a sixteen year old.
Watch out for the spinach dip...
She could overcome her past if she really wanted. I think Linda was actually more notorious than Monica:
Linda Lovelace (born Linda Susan Boreman; January 10, 1949 – April 22, 2002) was an American pornographic actress known for her performance in the 1972 pornographic film Deep Throat. Although the film was an enormous success at the time, it was later alleged by Boreman that her abusive husband, Chuck Traynor, had threatened and coerced her into the performance. She described what went on behind the scenes in her autobiography Ordeal. She later became a born again Christian and a spokeswoman for the anti-pornography movement.[1]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Lovelace
I think she kind of likes the fame in some weird way.
She doesn’t want to be known as Mrs. Monica Goldblatt in her senior years.
Good post. It is a sad story. Perhaps she is such a shallow soul that she would have had a miserable life in any event, but she will never know.
Would you want to be known as A lewinsky?
Slick Willy’s name is Bill Jefferson Clinton right
So the act of the blow Job should be called the BJ Clinton
and not A Lewinsky. A BJ is a BJ but a BJ Clinton is Presidential, memorialized by the Blue Dress with his Sperm
on it.
If it was not for the Blue Dress BJ Clinton would have continued lying that he never “had Sex with that woman”
wasn’t this thong detail revealed in the 1990s?
it’s not news
>>It is apparent that her whole purpose / identity up to this point in her life is her association with the Clinton scandal / crimes. For someone to date her would require having to live with that every minute. Couldn’t go anywhere. Maybe in 20 to 30 years from now things will be a little better as the CLintons will be gone, more people die who lived through it, and a lot of others forget. Until then, it is like a freak show.
wasn’t the woman from the Profumo affair always tainted by it?
Exactly.
The world is full of those people, but there are also a lot of shallow souls (like young, reckless men who are given the opportunity to survive their adolescence and young adulthood) who have had the opportunity to grow out of it.
(As an aside, that means something to me. I have never viewed myself as shallow (who ever really does, I guess) but I definitely was reckless and stupid...but then one day I realized I had reached the age of thirty and saw that I had made it there relatively intact...and I have never stopped being thankful for it. For some odd reason, I had never been able to visualize life after thirty, or to see myself as an old man, and somehow, that bugged me out...I never mentioned it to anyone, but...I sometimes wondered if that meant anything. I never thought to ask anyone else about it. Then when I turned 30 and I realized I hadn't yet gotten myself killed or maimed in some kind of accident or stupidity, I was finally able to view myself as an old guy in my sixties or more. I know that must sound odd, but I was perpetually clumsy and lacking in judgement and common sense...always getting hurt doing stupid useless things because I never thought things through.)
She didn't have that good fortune.
If she had jumped in bed with some managerial flunky at some company, she might have realized and gained some wisdom from it and learned, but when you perform sex acts on the President of The United States and it becomes public, turning you into a political football, well...it's all over for you.
Assuming these are her actual comments, she is still trying to seduce Clinton and probably others, with a “soft porn” description of her “exposed thong” and how she “opted to keep her thong out”
Give me a break, this gal is and has always been an exhibisionist.
Damn, I turn 60 next Tuesday and I am still unable to view myself as an old guy in my sixties or more. :-)
Yes, many of us are very lucky to have made it this far without our blunders having been of the life-ruining variety.
She was in her early twenties when this all she went down.
LOL!
