Mrs Clinton, since when... putting up with a womanizer that does not even respect you, even in a position as public as the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES of America... since when that became a virtue?... especially for a woman so in tune with women's rights? Hmmmm?...

it'll never happen; unless the interviewer, wants to take a short evening walk in Ft. Marcy Park....what "($hrillary: we don't need no) freedom of the press".

“Now, I have to go back to work on my State of the Union speech. And I worked on it until pretty late last night. But I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I’m going to say this again. I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you.”

We looked for it or any other mention of the now-forgotten chick, Ms. Monica, in the Clinton Library, but nada. She was completely left out of history by the First Perp and Mrs Facilitator. They did made up a marvelously crafted video to prove that the whole Impeachment thingee was part of a demonstrable VRWC.

Now, if you want a hugh dose of good old fashioned fiction, try the foreign money-funded Clinton Massage Parlor/Library. It is unbelievable how they take facts and squeeze them until they no longer exist, turning all potential negatives into hoorays for the Clintons. And the library is the place where all info re Hitlery is in a permanent lock box, unavailable to the voters. This in spite of the "open government" that she pretends she will establish once elected. GAG! These people are demented!

And she wasn't that bad looking during her early years

There were some freepers who were mystified as to why Clinton had an affair with Monica when there were certainly some better-looking women who he might have bedded

My only thought is that one average-looking woman who is willing to make an effort at making you happy has more worth than 10 beautiful-but-self-absorbed ice maidens who are not willing to make an effort

Now here is the test for readers as they read in the next month rehashes of the Lewinsky scandal: Does the newspaper or columnist view the emergence of Drudge and the Internet as a good thing or bad?

Here's the real test that this author fails to realize: "The story did not break in "Newsweek," even though its reporter, Michael Isikoff, had the goods. His editors sat on his story."

Does the newspaper or columnist view the loss of sitting on a story as a good or bad thing?

“Thats more “experience” than Hillary has.”

Speaking of experience, a vote for Monica would be better than a vote for Hillary. Monica has had more experience and time spent in the Oval Office taking care of presidential business than Hillary has!

introducing me to Free Republic! Well, it was actually a link Matt had up to FR at some point in early 1998.

Me, too.

people debated the subject in AOL chat rooms.

Was it the AOL chat rooms that made the story? I remember I was following Drudge for some. I took a peak at Drudge just before going to bed on a Saturday night, and he had the siren up with some teaser text. I watched it develop over the weekend, and mentioned to my allergist Monday morning that a big story was going to break. Rush then turned it into a story too big for the Drive-by Media to ignore.

Good times.

I love Drudge. He has changed the face of journalism himself.

Hope he stays around for a long time.

I was actually looking at CNN.com at work and one of the user comments from the story pointed me to the Drudge Report. The Drudge Report has been my first stop for news ever since!

"...And thank you for leading me to Free Republic in January 1998. I read the Drudge report, and then followed a link to the Free Republic...."

Totally. Me too.

I am still outraged that Bill Clinton, a pile of excrement, used the most disparity of power that can exist between a superior and a subordinate to destroy a young woman's life because he felt like it.

That he had no sex life with his "wife" is no excuse.

That he is incapable of normal sexual relations is revealing, but not surprising, given his history.

I feel sorry for Ms. Lewinsky. She was taken advantage of, used and misused, and cast aside by a worthless pile that is Bill Clinton.

And now his "wife" is running for president on this jagoff's record?

jeez

New name, same old Freeper! ;^)

I lurked on FR from 1998-2001 and finally registered after 9/11. Changed names last summer, but did not do it the right way, so I lost my old identity!

Anyone ever notice that Clinton’s women all had the same physical characteristics? The pudginess, the 80s hair-dos, that type of facial features, the homeliness of it all. It’s just eerie, like looking at the women the FBI profiles on those crime shows or something.

Same here. Was introduced to Drudge & FR (don't remember the order, but close together - too long ago :) in '98. I attended the March for Justice in October of '98 on the mall in DC (Drudge was there, among many others), the House Manager's rally in May of '99 (also in DC - met Jim Robinson), and have been an avid FR reader, occasional poster, ever since. Those were the days :)
