Letterman: ‘I Feel Bad About My Role’ In Humiliating Lewinsky
CBS ^ | 5-17-14 | unknown

Posted on 05/17/2014 3:00:54 PM PDT by windcliff

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — David Letterman regrets the way he treated Monica Lewinsky throughout the years over her affair with then President Bill Clinton while she was a White House intern.

With retiring ABC News’ Barbara Walters as his guest on his CBS show Wednesday night, “The Late Show” host said he started to feel bad about the role he played taking shots at Lewinsky after she penned a story for Vanity Fair opening up about the affair and the troubles she had finding a job.

“Now I started to feel bad because myself and other people with shows like this made relentless jokes about the poor woman and she was a kid. She was 21, 22,” Letterman said, adding that it was a “sad human situation.”

Letterman continued: “I feel bad about my role in helping push the humiliation to the point of suffocation.”

Walters said it was time to “turn the page” on Lewinsky.

“She has been ridiculed now for all these years and she is an intelligent woman,” Walters told Letterman. “I wish her well.”

How about making up sex jokes about Palin’s underage daughter? No problem there?

I don’t know how bringing the subject up and apologizing to Lewinsky helps the Clintons, but my mind isn’t big enough to know all the intricacies and workings of these vast conspiracies.

You wait, Lewinsky will emerge as a big Clinton supporter. She is getting paid to forgive. Yuck. This is all probably a set up.

in the runup to a hillary candidacy for president, the lewinsky boil needs to be successfully lanced by all the lefties

Exactly the point. Letterman is just doing his duty to Hiliary by these quotes.

I fell sorry and ashamed that this worthless *rick grew up not far from me. Indiana has had its fair share of famous and infamous residents. Letterman fits into the latter category.

Oh, my, they are all getting the talking points now.

Clean up Monica’s reputation so that the Clintons can gain points when Bill makes his formal apology to her. How sweet and touching. Oprah will probably build a special around the apology. I’m getting teary just thinking about it.

I’m with you. I bet we’ll never hear these “late night” bozos tell us about how bad they feel about their role in trashing Sarah Palin and her kids. They might say they just got caught up in the Obamamania that was “sweeping” across freeloader land.

***
This is all part of a plan hatched by the Rats. They are going to rehabilitate Monica so that Bill can publically apologize to her.

My ears went up when, in the space of less than a week, “Vanity Fair” ran a story about the tramp and Clinton was quoted as saying that he wants to apologize to her.

All of the women voters will supposedly be charmed and want to vote for Hitlery.

All the focus remains on Lewisky & not the impeached serial adulterer, accused rapist who lost his law license when found in contempt of court for lying to a federal judge in a sexual harassment lawsuit.

The MSM Palace Guards continue to protect & defend Slick's enabler, Hillary Clinton.

that just means he cheated again and again, even later. I think if it was with one woman she would have forgiven.
