Monica flees NY, stung by Bill's cold words
The Irish Independent ^ | June 20, 2004 | ORLA HEALY in New York

Posted on 06/20/2004 2:58:38 AM PDT by aculeus

IN ONE of the smartest decisions of her life, Monica Lewinsky fled New York City on Wednesday night, hours after Bill Clinton confessed he trysted with her simply "because I could".

The former White House intern is said to be mortified and upset by Clinton's cold description of their affair.

The platoon of paparazzi outside her downtown apartment didn't help her mood.

Ironically, Lewinsky is expected to attend a wedding in Arkansas on Tuesday, the day Bill Clinton launches his mega-hyped White House memoir, My Life, in Manhattan.

Set to become the political bestseller of the year, the former President's book is expected to outsell wife Hillary's autobiography, Living History, which racked up sales of 600,000 copies in its first week last year. Slick Willie, nevertheless, isn't taking anything for granted. In order to justify his $12 million advance, Mr Clinton needs to sell at least 2m copies of the hardcover book.

In advance leaks from an interview to be broadcast on CBS tonight, Clinton gives the press the tantalising soundbites they want while at the same time giving the public their first glimpse at his deep sense of self-reproach over the Lewinsky affair. Both tactics are necessary to sell his $35 book.

In leaks made public on Friday, Clinton describes how the First Lady looked like she had been punched in the gut the morning he told her about his liaison with Lewinsky and how he spent the following two months sleeping on the couch. Mr Clinton reportedly also writes that he attributes problems during his upbringing as contributing to a self-destructive streak that tends to act up when he's tired, angry or feeling alone.

On Friday, the promotional juggernaut lost some of the sizzle it had built up during the week when AOL online released the first audio excerpt from the memories.

Those who tuned in expecting deep dish were treated to a folksy anecdote from Clinton about the "amazing moment" he shook President John F Kennedy's hand in 1963. "I'm sure he was aware that everyone would be looking for the racy bits, and he wants to come out of the gate first as a statesman-like figure," said Stan Baker, editor of Publisher's Weekly. Further AOL extracts, such as tomorrow's, entitled "Marriage remains", may draw higher ratings.

Looks like she gave up her "high protien" diet for all carbs and candy. She'll never be able to eat her way out of this, I'm afraid. Wait, that's what started all this.

She's selling handbags at the moment. Doubtless the book will appear when she's run out of spare change.

Monica will be forever haunted by her past,she was used as a sperm receptacle by Bill Clinton and if she hadnt spilled some of that she would probably be dead, a victim of the Arkansas mafia. The stain on her dress probably saved her life.

If Hillary was sick to her stomach the day Bill told her about Monica it was because the story was about to become public , not because it bothered Hillary that Bill was a horndog, she already knew that, and who is stupid enough to believe Bill slept on a couch in a White house where he never slept in the same room as Hillary anyway.

"....In leaks made public on Friday, Clinton describes how the First Lady looked like she had been punched in the gut the morning he told her about his liaison with Lewinsky...."

Anybody that believes this tripe is a fool, or worse.

Clinton, in his own words (paraphrasing):

"Hillary? hell, she's eaten more pu$%y than I have..."

The Beestie only looked like that because she realized the political fallout that was likely to happen. NOT because she gave a rip about who Bill diddled.

If Monica is to attend a wedding in Arkansas today, doesn't it make sense that she might "flee" (leave) NY last night? I think there's a wee bit of papparazzi in this piece. Nonetheless, she can't be glad to have all this dragged up in front of the national spotlight again. And unfortunately, nobody cares much about hearing from Monica about the subject.

You're forgetting that she thought it was love and that he'd leave Hillary for her.

I don't know if I agree. She flashed her thong at him as a mating call. If was "because SHE could" as well, in the fine tradition of trailer park chickies everywhere. She was quite surprised he didn't want to complete the act.

He makes no excuses AFAIK about Linda Tripp. Here is a woman doing the decent thing and blowing the whistle about Monica blowing Bill's. She was subjected to illigal harassment after revealing the truth. What ever happened to the whistleblower act?

Bill is rushing headlong to embrace his Monica affair as his 'mistake" that caused so much "marital discord" in an apparant (to me) effort to distance himself from his dozens of other Monicas over the years that Hillary was equally aware of. Their marriage always was one of convenience, not fidelity.

Why doesn`t Monica write a book?

As her book is released, Monica Lewinsky is interviewed on TV

If she did, and it was published (doubtful), it would probably outsell Slick's book.

And be a better read!

She might as well cash in, too. Everybody else has.

ROFOL!
