Agreed in spades, the MSM reconstruction of Hitlery has begun, just as we had known it would.
But we have a few bullets left!!!!

...She is a branded woman, not an adulterer but something even worse -- a girl toy, a trivial thing, a punch line. Yet she did what so many women at that age would do. She seduced (or so she thought) an older man. She fantasized that he would leave his wife for her. Here was her crime: She was a girl besotted. It happens even to Republicans.
But she is now a woman with a master's degree from a prestigious school and is going to be 34 come July. Her clock ticks, her life ebbs. Where is the man for her? Where is the guy brave enough, strong enough, admirable enough to take her as his wife, to suffer the slings and arrows of her outrageous fortune -- to say to the world (for it would be the entire world) that he loves this woman who will always be an asterisk in American history. I hope there is such a guy out there. It would be nice. It would be fair.
It would be nice, too, and fair, also, if Lewinsky were treated by the media as it would treat a man....
This is the year 2007, brand new and full of promise. It would be nice if my colleagues in the media would resolve to treat Monica Lewinsky as a lady, to think of her as they would themselves, to remember their own youth and the things they did and to understand that from this day forward anyone who takes a cheap shot at Lewinsky has a moral and professional obligation to look in the mirror. To proceed otherwise is to miss the joke entirely. No longer is it Monica Lewinsky. It is now the people who write about her.

However, I DO feel some sympathy for her. She was young, stupid and vacuous, and she did what hundreds of young women inthe moral vacuum that DC is have done. She took her lumps and now she deserves to move on.
The Buckeyes have an immense amount of respect for the Gators. It should be a great game.
You left out her trying to capitalize on her size by having Jenny Craig offer her a million dollars, which she couldn't collect, not enough will power. I hesitate to bring up her stupid on-line purses thingamabob.
I cannot believe we are to endure yet some more boo hoo over this dingbat -- she was not some *youth* when she knowingly participated in her activities, she wasn't brainwashed or drugged. And once the situation was over, she didn't simply dye her hair, change her name and wander off into obscurity, she has been putting her own self into the public eye time and time again. That a bunch of lazy, no-class journos keep insulting her poor widdle self is irrelevant -- she is the one responsible for making a fool of herself, not anyone else. If she wasn't able to keep from servicing an old guy with power, sorry, them's the breaks; *you pays your nickle, you takes your ride.*
I'm not. We've become DU-Right. FR is still a great breaking news source, but that's about it.
I agree with the post but she did not stop her sin after she was exposed. Even after she was moved out of the White House, she returned there but was only allowed entrance when Bill did not have another woman there.
You are exactly correct. It is to preemptively construct a staw man should anyone bring up Monica in the Hillary campaign. They are already trying to tell us what we believe about the President being serviced by Monica. In other words, to bring up Monica is to be 'meanspirited', and insensitive to an otherwise virtuous, accomplished young lady. It is their plan to make Monica/Bill an unmentionable, because it would hurt Monicas' feelings and we certainly should not run the risk of hurting Monicas' feelings. After all, she (Not Bill) has done her time and is not deserving of this rehashing of a sordid history which she has put behind her. After all, Hillary has put it behind her. If Hillary can be that magnanamous, then certainly we can all fall in line.
My email request to Mr. Cohen:
"How very kind you are to Ms Lewinsky, pleading for mercy on her behalf. I think you might consider a similar column on all the young women who suffered at the hands of the Clintons. And might I suggest you begin with Juanita Broaddrick?"
This artile has little to do with Monica and everything to do with Hillary.
It would, if people who post it are doing so not with the non-condemnation from Jesus porton of the passage as the teaching to be most remembered from it, but the last words of admonition that He gives to the woman:
"... go and sin no more."
This is where I constantly find the hypocrisy in posting/using this particular passage, for while everyone is so busy pointing out Christ's compassion, they neglect to stress His instruct. I only say this today because of the use of the passage in earlier threads on this very topic, other insults to Christ's teachings and the Bible as such. If we're going to use His Word to instruct, I prefer it to be kept in context.
I agree.
I thought I remembered that she was not an outstanding student in college and now she gains entry to LSE.

Just that Monica Lewinsky is subject to human failings and that many many women are. Same with men.
While I detest Clinton and what he and his wife represent, I must realize also that we are all people and none of us is necessarily better than anyone else.
Victoria's Secret is a store that panders to a non-church oriented atmosphere. It's hard to think of Monica's behavior as anything but typical when I see a store like Victoria's Secret crowded as could be.
Now there's a line I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole... or two five foot Germans.
Oh, pah-lease. It's a junk degree. Underwater basketweaving is more rigorous. I'm sure Dick Cohen is impressed. I'm not.
In retrospect, that WAS ill-considered...now I'm nauseous.
I agree with Cohen too.
I am about the same age as Monica Lewinsky - just a year or so younger than she. I remember when the whole affair hit the news. Of course, I have never done anything like THAT but I could relate and see how she could get swept into the whole thing. Lucky she didn't end up with a bullet in her head!
Here she was, young, interning at the White House, a little chubby and insecure. And here the President of the United States is coming on to her. Making her feel like she's something special. Of course she was a willing participant. She was stupid. Yes it was a mistake. And what a price she has paid for that mistake, for her name will forever be imprinted in the history books. And I think that's a high-enough price to pay without journalists constantly harping on her everytime her name is brought up. They should be harping on Clinton instead. He's the one with the power & who knew what he was doing. He's the one who broke vows to both his wife and the nation.
Harley owners the world over keep her cell phone # on hand in case of an emergency.
