Hildy -- you and I are on the same page on this matter. Monica was so young. And a man imbued as the "best" in the US so as to be President, not only took advantage of her -- but continues to insult her. I feel for her too. She's still young. He's everything the feminists say they hate about men. Nonetheless, their silence on this matter, only really serves to prove... FEMINISTS HAVE NO BALLS! (g,r&d)
I have always felt just a little bit sorry for Monica. I know she's trashy, but I think she was definitely taken advantage of. I bet this new statement in the book is the first real inking she had of how little he thought of her.
Dollars to donuts she blamed Linda Tripp and Kenneth Starr for ending their relationship.
