Monica Lewinsky Blames the Internet
The Atlantic Wire By Allie Jones 55 minutes ago
Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, probably due to growing Clinton nostalgia in politics and on Tumblr, broke her silence with a personal essay for Vanity Fair this month. In it, she posits, "thanks to the Drudge Report, I was ... possibly the first person whose global humiliation was driven by the Internet."
The full essay will be available digitally on Thursday, but here are the highlights. Lewinsky, who is only 40 now, expresses regret: "I, myself, deeply regret what happened between me and President Clinton. Let me say it again: I. Myself. Deeply. Regret. What. Happened." She also says she's ready to move on: "It’s time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress." And she assures conspiracy theorists that the Clintons did not buy her silence up until now: "I can assure you that nothing could be further from the truth."
Lewinsky also makes a point to note that her affair with President Clinton was consensual, and that he did not abuse her. The abuse she suffered was at the hands of the media, she says. Now, the Internet is a much more friendly place for Lewinsky, especially the teen Internet. As The Wire noted earlier this year, Lewinsky is a big part of the '90s nostalgia that permeates Tumblr and sites like Buzzfeed. Beyoncé put her in a song on her latest album.

But . . but . . Al Gore Invented the internet. Gore’s Fault!!!
Hmmm...not so much. It was probably driven by spending too much time on...something other than the Internet.
Let’s get the Monica story out so it is old news by 2016. Monica still believes it was “consensual” sex between two kindred souls. Bill had to denounce it for political reasons and is probably still secretly in love with her. It is just a tragic love story—not a dirty old man taking advantage of an intern who was old enough to be his daughter. Cigar anyone?
So, the internet is at fault for her “servicing” Clinton?
Sounds like she's still a prime target.Didn't abuse her? She was about 2755 pay grades below him and she was young enough to be his daughter.And does she think for a minute that if he had been able to pull it off that he wouldn't have trashed her the same way he trashed Jennifer Flowers,Paula Jones,etc.
The only thing that saved her from the full force of the Arkansas Machine,the same machine that got Jim MacDougal and Vince Foster (among others),was the dress.And she *still* doesn't understand that.
All that's needed is a Vote for Hillary and the Bimbo Patrol will be out once more.
Bill has a 67% approval rating by the American public. Go figure.
Drudge didn’t pull your thong down, you stupid slut.
“thanks to the Drudge Report, I was ... possibly the first person whose global humiliation was driven by the Internet.”
Now she is going for round two
She who will not be named, will not be happy.
She should keep her mouth shut (sic).
Nice try, but no cigar.
indeed! and she says: "It’s time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress." And she assures conspiracy theorists that the Clintons did not buy her silence up until now: "I can assure you that nothing could be further from the truth."
does this mean after all this time she has not moved on? that story is so old... before Y2K, 9/11, Terri Schiavo, and US Senator Barack Obama...
