MONICA Lewinsky — in Little Rock, Ark., for a wedding this past weekend — was invited to tour the Clinton Presidential Library. But she declined.

The former White House intern — a bridesmaid of Ashley Linus Raines, her best friend from their days in the West Wing during the Bill Clinton administration — was overheard at the reception laughing with other guests about a phone call a member of the wedding party received.

Sources say the caller was one of the directors of the Clinton Presidential Library offering out-of-town guests an exclusive peek at the unfinished shrine to the ex-president. And the Clintonite specifically asked "if Monica would be joining them."

Meanwhile, Lewinsky is said to have spent all profits from "Monica's Story," her 1999 memoir. (There wasn't much left over after paying her legal bills.) And her handbag-designing firm is nearly out of business, sources say. "She's one of the only people who didn't make any money out of this situation," Hutson said. "She's suffered the most out of everyone."

Monicas should have given a visit to The Library (the adult book store). She could have checked out the gold sink Clinton had installed in the main foyer.

I hear the Clinton library is going to have an authentic replica of the oval office. I wonder if it's going to also have a room off of the oval office where the acts constituting the Clinton legacy occurred.

A friend of Lewinsky said, "It's not only an insult to Monica. It's an insult to his wife and daughter. It's an insult to every woman in the country." --

Let's not go overboard here. Monica afterall was giving hummers because she was good at it and liked doing it. If anything, some folks could call her an insult to many women. Hummm.

"She's one of the only people who didn't make any money out of this situation," Hutson said.

She chose to live in overpriced Manhattan, which is the worst place to go if you want to make and save money.

She will however live forever in the term:
"to give a Lewinsky"

Monica complains that she cannot get dates with men. Who would kiss a woman that her claim to fame was where her mouth had been?

[Bonaparte]

Well, cry me a Potomac.

Correct me if I'm misremembering, but didn't Clinton arrange for a $32K job for her with Ken Bacon over at the Pentagon? I think the fringe benefits of that job included free trips to Europe. And after she blew it with Bacon, didn't Clinton get her a similar job with Bill Richardson over at the UN? I think he did. Then when bubba needed to shuffle her into private sector he had Vermin Jordan get her some more overpaid busy work with Revlon, which she lost when the scandal broke wide open. Then there were all the gifts and that Weight Watcher's gig she never would have gotten if she hadn't spent major time on her knees in the oval office. Meanwhile, all those other WH interns were working for peanuts. Say, didn't Monica say she was going to go to law school a few years ago? I wonder what happened to that?

[Bonaparte]

"...which is the worst place to go if you want to make and save money."

Yeah, but Mommy and her money live there (Marcia Lewis).

Nice to see freeper Doctor Raoul make the page 6 account of the book launch party if only anonymously. For more details see this thread http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1157648/posts

"...cannot get dates with men."

Sure she can. Bubba's office is right over there in Harlem.

Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton, and everyone involved with this whole mess should be shamed. Someday when folks have a chance to glance back on the past, they're going to see an entirely different picture.

The affair was disgraceful. The lies were disgraceful. But the most disgraceful part of the whole situation was to bring it into the homes of millions of children during their viewing hours. Legal pornography, that's what is was.

I know this for fact. I was raised during a time it was strictly forbidden to say anything that would disgrace a woman. Even when sexual relations did occur, it was considered a chivalrous act to deny rather then admit. I don't believe this was behind the Clinton lie, but I believe he used the presumption of this honorable practice to gloss over his misdeeds.

All-in-all, Clinton should do something honorable to give Monica Lewinsky back the honor he stole. And for all those that thought this appropriate subject matter for children after school, they shouldn't be trusted around children.

[malia]

It will have the desk, won't that be enough?

[Bonaparte]

"...used the presumption of this honorable practice to gloss over his misdeeds."

Actually, bubba hid behind hillary and chelsea, claiming he lied because he wanted to spare them the embarassment. Such a guy! (Of course, his lies had nothing to do with derailing the Jones suit or the grand jury investigation.)

"Monica Closes Boook on Clinton"


That's gotta hurt. (Especially at 900+ pages.)

[ArmstedFragg]

That's gotta hurt.

For some reason I just crossed my legs.

[ninonitti]

Yikes!!!!

She should have told the whole truth when she had the chance. But she was under the delusion that her "soulmate" Bill Clinton would somehow reward her one day. I wonder if she's finally given up hope that Bill would leave Hillary for her.

[goldstategop]

And Bubba is still profiting from her misery and the misery of others. If there is a God, he'd be in the poorhouse before Monica.
