Hell hath no fury like an intern scorned.Monica Lewinsky broke her silence and bared her claws yesterday, branding ex-lover Bill Clinton a creep who "destroyed" her and made her feel like "an insignificant piece of dirt."
As the former President stumped for his best-selling memoir, Lewinsky fumed that he belittled their romance and never apologized for smearing her reputation during the Sexgate scandal.
"He says he was proud of the way that he defended the presidency - at my expense. In the process, he destroyed me," she said.
"I was a young girl and to hear him saying some of the things he was saying today - it's a shame."
Lewinsky said her life would have turned out much differently if she'd never met Clinton.
She imagined that she would be a forensic psychologist, a wife and a mother.
"I have spent the last several years trying so hard to move on. I've lost a lot of time."
Lewinsky, 30, refused to comment to the U.S. media when Clinton's autobiography, "My Life," was published to enormous fanfare this week.
Instead, she gave a paid interview to London's Daily Mail and Britain's ITV News, which aired the half-hour segment last night.
In her most candid remarks since the scandal that rocked the country, Lewinsky portrayed Clinton as a money-grubbing cad incapable of telling the truth.
"It's offensive," she said of his chapters about their fling. "He could easily have chosen to take a few less million dollars and just not write about it."
At various points in the two interviews she referred to him as "the creep," a "liar," a "revisionist of history" and "a wax figure - without humanity."
She seemed unable to reconcile the Bill Clinton of today with the "tender" man who called her "dear" and "baby" and gave her gifts like Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass."
"This is someone I used to be in love with?" she asked incredulously.
While she kept her mouth shut when Sen. Hillary Clinton published her memoir last year, Lewinsky said she's speaking out now to correct the account in "My Life."
She's also angry about the "60 Minutes" interview in which Clinton said he cheated on his wife with Lewinsky "for the worst possible reason - just because I could."
"I was really upset when I first heard it," she said.
"He talked about it as though I had laid it all out there for the taking. I was the buffet, and he just couldn't resist the dessert," she fumed.
"That's not how it was," she said. "This was a mutual relationship, mutual on all levels, right from the way it started and all the way through."
What's more, she claims she can prove it with tapes of messages Clinton left on her telephone answering machine and gifts he gave her, all of which she kept.
"If I was just something he used 'because he could,' why call me?" she said. "Why fake all the emotions and the looks and the tenderness?"
"He touched me first," she added.
Adding to the insult is Clinton's refusal to apologize for the way he and his protectors maligned her at the height of the scandal.
"His strategy was to debase my character," she said.
Clinton doesn't seem to appreciate the fact that she refused to wear a wire and get him on tape, even though she was threatened with prison, she said.
"How would he feel if [Chelsea] was picked up in a shopping mall as I was by the FBI, taken to a hotel room, told she couldn't call an attorney and threatened with jail for 27 years?
"How would he feel if she was trashed by the person she had the relationship with?"
Now that she and Clinton are back on the front pages, she has just one question for him: "Can't you just step up to the plate and correct the things you did that were wrong?"
Clinton's spokeswoman did not return calls.
Pain - in her own words
On Clinton's comments about their affair: "He's acting as though it was nothing more than a bug bite that got infected."
On how he treated her: "He says he was proud of the way that he defended the presidency - at my expense. In the process, he destroyed me."
On his chapter about the affair: "He could easily have chosen to take a few less million dollars and just not write about it."
On her life: "When I look at photographs of me before all this happened, I can see a happiness there that has gone. He could have made it easier on me, but at least I have the advantage of truth."

OMG! One more thing...Blewinsky is going to be the richest whore when she publishes her MY LIFE with BUBBA book!! Imagine the money she is going to make!
Well, we can be sure that's true.
Thankks. It's funny, ever since I heard Billy Goat refer to her as That Woman, I thought that should be the title of her book.
But first, she had to "get it" instead of fantasizing that he really loved her and just dissed her to save his presidency (ain't he noble?).
Hey, Moanica ponder this.......you feel like an insignificant piece of dirt because you are an insignificant piece of dirt.
Lookit sister, you calculatedly snapped your thong at Bill b/c you wanted a better job and you knew Billy was ready and willing considering Hilly wasn't on tap for sex.
Moanica, the reason why you're notorious is that you got under the president's desk and lewinskied him. Comprendez vous, slutsky?
You're a slut who compromised an entire nation and put us through an impeachment trial simply b/c you had to satisfy your greedy ambitions.
Now do you get it?
Ditto That.
Pssst.......Monica.
Don't forget "humidor".
No disagreement there. Monica more than met her match. As I said previously, she was outslicked by the Slickmeister. Monica was not a naive, impressionable, sexually inexperienced woman. She knew exactly what she wanted and got it. Flashing her thong is not exactly something a demure, respectfed young woman does. It takes two to tango. I am not about to give Monica a pass. She is going to make even more money on this scandal now that Clinton's book is out. Monica rivals Clinton in being manipulative and calculating.
I forsee a Gennifer Flowers moment in her future...just 12 years later.
She could do a lot of damage if she wanted to. I hate to say it but I imagine the woman has her price to kiss and tell.
Man, this is all so tawdry. But you can't say we didn't warn America way back in the beginning.
"Wrong again, bill clinton has Monica beat on being a sexually experienced predator by decades, quantity and position of power. HELLO earth to kabar "
"No disagreement there. Monica more than met her match. As I said previously, she was outslicked by the Slickmeister."
Where did you state that? What thread number? You seem to flip flip your responses when ever convenient. Kerry lite?
"I am not about to give Monica a pass."
No one said you had to, maybe it is you that needs to move on from this topic not Monica.
"She is going to make even more money on this scandal now that Clinton's book is out."
You say that likes it's a bad thing. Are you envious that Monica is playing the "two to tango" goes both ways?
"Monica rivals Clinton in being manipulative and calculating."
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Monica yings bills yang. Yay for her!

Chelsea, is that YOU???
"You're a slut who compromised an entire nation and put us through an impeachment trial simply b/c you had to satisfy your greedy ambitions. Now do you get it?"
bill clinton compromised America everytime his willy needed its knub rubbed. He compromised America every time he got into bed with China. nuff said. He's toast
"About Monica...I did something that was wrong. Very wrong. I can write another 100 pages on all the reasons why I did it. I can be confessional, I can be analytical. I could lie, I could rationalize. But in the end, there is no excuse.
What I hope future generations take from this very dark period is that when you make a decision to fulfull a momentary gratification, you lose so much more than you get. I hurt my family, I hurt Ms. Lewinsky, I hurt this Country and I hurt my soul. I've tried to live my life since in a manner befitting the man my daughter looks up to and my wife loves. To Ms. Lewinsky: words cannot express how sorry I am for taking advantage of such a young girl. It was wrong. So very wrong on so many levels. I hope you can forgive me and go on to live a wonderful and happy life. To the people of America: I hope in future years I am not remembered for this lapse in moral judgement, but for the good deeds I did for the Country.
And with that, I close the chapter on Monica."

I had wondered what kept her alive. Son of a gun.
"
It was the blue dress.
If Bill Clinton had any class he would have written about Monica just the way you wrote it.
Kabar doesn't understand that often young women's sexual action can be more mature than their emotions.
"This young woman was taken advantage of in the most terrible way and has now come to realize it."
I agree. I feel sorry for Monica. She was young and impressionable and fell under the influence of an older, powerful man. I truly believe that she believed he loved her. Whether or not she flirted with him, it was Clinton's responsibility not to go down that path (no pun intended).
But because he could not control his appetites, her life is ruined. It would take a man of real strength and character to get involved with her.
Absolutely- otherwise, she'd have gone the way of Kathleen Wiley's cat...
Because he could. A sociopath can fake any emotion.
"He touched me first," she added.
You mean he touched you before you touched him. He touched a thousand other women first.
"How would he feel if [Chelsea] was picked up in a shopping mall as I was by the FBI, taken to a hotel room, told she couldn't call an attorney and threatened with jail for 27 years?
I'll bet there's a federal felony he could be charged with for that. Those agents probably owe a few years of fed pen time too.
What's more, she claims she can prove it with tapes of messages Clinton left on her telephone answering machine and gifts he gave her, all of which she kept.
That stuff is worth millions you ditz. Which makes it worth a lot to Sick Willy to keep you from making it public. Worth more to Hitlery who has yet to achieve the WH. Did you ever meet Vince while you were there?
