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.

She should blame the inHERnet.
In this case, only Linda Tripp is worthy of concern over global humiliation.
That’s what I thought. It’ll be old news by 2016. Monica is simply not very bright.
Honey, don’t bury that blue dress. You are going to need to sell if for retirement money.
I blame her mouth.
Headline:
Monica Lewinsky blames the Internet “it blew it all out of proportion”
This is a timely story for one NFL draft prospect who is likely to be moving up the draft board even as we hear again about Monica going down. Ha-Ha Clinton Dix is going to be associated with this story forever.
Old BJ is the one that Dem candidates are begging to come and campaign with while they beg Caliph Baraq to stay away, LOL.
When was Nixon’s impeachment hearing?
Pity parties are so gouache.
Everything you said.
Star-struck needy intern with zero self-respect + dirty powerful old man happy to take full advantage = what difference does it make in demoncrat circles.
You’d think by now that she would be able to comprehend the grotesque abuse of power that took place. Well, denial of reality is what drives the left so I suppose it’s no surprise.
Too bad she never got a clue and shifted the blame to the “internet”. The media fed off of her humiliation and stupidity but what else to expect from [other] Clinton groupies.
I blame it on the moon. Rodney Crowell - Shame on the Moon

Monica, you only have yourself to blame. When you were on your knees, you weren’t washing the floor.
