Washington Post Columnist: Monica Kinda Asked For It

Washington Free Beacon ^ | 1/27/14 | staff

[Nachum]

Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus suggested former President Bill Clinton was not entirely culpable for his affair with Monica Lewinsky Monday on MSNBC.

The comment came in the context of a discussion about Sen. Rand Paul’s (R., Ky.) comments yesterday where he accused President Clinton of “predatory behavior” toward his former White House intern. Marcus said Republicans seem to address female sexuality only in the contexts of victimization or promiscuity.

To evidence her point, Marcus added she did not believe Monica Lewinsky was an entirely “innocent victim” in the scandal. “I recall some thong flashing there,” she said.

Full exchange:

ANDREA MITCHELL: So, the Republicans still have a ways to go in figuring out –

RUTH MARCUS: What i think they need to do — sorry to interrupt. They need to write a list of words –

Did I misunderstand you, or did our respective ironies cancel each other out, passing like ships in the night?

A mystery.

[Political Junkie Too]

Is Bob Menendez going to say the same thing about his under-age Dominican hooker?

It’s true. She did flash her thong. Ross Perot said he would have called her daddy and said “Your daughter just showed me her panties!”

The thing is, Clinton, as the elderly “gentleman” should have had more control and.....and....and....CALLED HER DADDY and asked “Do you have any daughters who are a little bit older and not so fat?”

How about a teacher with an 18 year old student? Is that okay because maybe the student was kinda asking for it.

Yeah, actually. Student/Teacher sex is permitted on most college campuses. ASU, I know for sure.

[GeronL]

really?

That’s crazy.

“Sure getting good grades these days, Lisa... how do you do it??”

“Doggy style”

[JSteff]

And Specter voted “NOT PROVEN”....

It’s how my ex did it. No joke.

[spawn44]

Sounds just like how the democratic lefts terrorist buddies dispense of justice for rape. It’s the woman’s fault.

[John W]

So we’ve come full circle from what was probably the truth. Always thought she saved his rear by lying about the original contact between the two. Given his typical mode of operation.

[Cyman]

“I recall some thong flashing there,

Ok, did she “thong flash” anyone else besides her boss, the most powerful man in the world?

[JSteff]

“Do you have any daughters who are a little bit older and not so fat?”

LOL, so fat is too direct Not as beefy may have been a more subtle way to say that.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

I’m voting for the latter explanation.

[Scoutmaster]

“I recall some thong flashing there,” she said.

Hmm. Seems as if I recall the Starr Report stating Clinton told her he liked Monica's dress/skirt. When she said thanks, Clinton said "I'd like to see what's under it."

Monica then flashed him. That was wrong, but it was Clinton who asked for it, and not Monica acting out of the blue.

Please see #55.

"ANDREA MITCHELL: So, the Republicans still have a ways to go in figuring out –"

Gee! A bit of a broad sweeping comment there, Andrea....you discriminating bioch!

[Vendome]

She is one smoking woman.

I do not get that ugly mug she married...

Well, no, I do...

Still, I wouldn’t want to be seen doing PDA ....

Uhg!

[Graybeard58]

It can't be said often enough, to counter the left's version of Clinton's impeachment. He was impeached by the House, "tried" by the Senate, for lying to a Grand Jury

Anyone here try that and you're going to jail.

Lewinsky was an intern. In every corporation, in all of the military services, in virtually every organization larger than a hot-dog stand, the rules say that the big boss, by virtue of his position and power, does not have the right to enter into consensual sexual relations with the low ranking members of the team because such relations cannot be fully consensual.

Or, at least, that was the argument that Liberal feminists swore by before Clinton.

I don’t care if Lewinsky came prancing into the Oval Office wearing nothing more than a g-string while carrying a box of cigars in one hand and a bottle of massage oil in the other, Clinton knew damn well what he was doing was WRONG. Totally and utterly WRONG.
