There could be an additional, unspoken reason behind Sen. Hillary Clinton’s recent declaration that she won’t support Sen. Joe Lieberman if he loses the Democratic primary in Connecticut – payback.
Lieberman, as Hillary well recalls, took her husband Bill to task over the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
As NewsMax reported last week, Clinton said she would support the nominee chosen by Connecticut Democrats in the August 8 primary, even though Lieberman has announced that he plans to run as an independent if he loses.
"I believe we must honor the decisions made by Democratic primary voters,” Hillary said.
But columnist Margaret Carlson, writing for Bloomberg.com, points out: "You can also interpret Clinton’s swipe at Lieberman as an act of lingering resentment against the man who scolded her husband during impeachment proceedings shortly after his admission in August 1998 that he had been lying to the country for seven months.
"Lieberman took to the Senate floor to slam Clinton ‘for having extramarital relations with an employee half his age . . . in the vicinity of the Oval Office. Such behavior is not just inappropriate. It is immoral.’”
Carlson then opines: "Revenge isn’t an admirable emotion but at least it’s evidence of some emotion from a woman who showed none during one of the most public cases of philandering ever . . . She may have been finally getting back at the Democrat who didn’t stand by her man.”
Carlson is a long time Clinton supporter and Time magazine contributor.
Lieberman is facing a strong primary challenge from millionaire businessman Ned Lamont, and many Connecticut Democrats are unhappy about the senator’s support for the Iraq war.
I'd met Billzo earlier in the day when I was told "Hey, Bill's going to be President someday."
Dude....
That is just revolting!
The democRAT Party long ago became a Party of common prostitutes.I'll bet that the people of Fairfield County,who have benefited to a breathtaking degree from this country's opportunities and the folks around New Haven who will someday reap those benefits are Lamont's biggest supporters.
BTW,FYI...I saw a Ford SUV on the Mass Turnpike a week or so ago that had CT plates that indicated that the owner was the Speaker of the CT House.It had a little "peace symbol" on the bumper.My guess is that that means that he/she is in Lamont's camp.
Oh yes, this is exactly the type of person we want running for the White House - a person who is still upset with a fine, upstanding Senator who didn't help her cover up the immoral actions of her scumbag husband. Where I can vote for that!
Oh you poor thing. Is this an experience that gives you nightmares to this very day? It would be for me. LOL!
And you know they had a Threesome with another girl??? ICK.
Well Hillary should watch playing the revenge angle so overtly. There were plenty of people burned by Her Thingness and Bubba. What goes around come around.
C'mon! You have gotten all of interested. Please tell the whole story. Pleeeease.
yitbos
And she was puking under my door.
She never apologized. Never came over to clean it up in the morning.
The other woman arrived earlier that day.

Revenge? I don't think so.
I think Hillary's attitude toward Lieberman is more an excellent example of how the Democrat mind works. Hillary can't blame Clinton for messing around with Monica. After all, out of expediency, she long ago forgave Clinton any transgressions. She can't blame herself, so she's going to blame Lieberman, right along with Ken Starr and the right wing conspiracy.
I forget who wrote an article I read this morning, but he/she explained Lieberman can't offer anything to Hillary, he's worthless, so she can please the far left fringe of the party by withholding her full support, it's a freebie for her.
That Hillary and Al Gore too, will toss a Lieberman overboard so callously, really exposes what they are all about. But maybe we secretly admire them? Well, we get all twisted out of shape because George Bush won't toss the despicable Arlen Spector, don't we?
HILLARY WAS NAKED AND PUKING AT YOUR DOOR???????
