I blame Clinton more than I ever would Monica. Monica kept it quiet except for spilling the beans to her “bestie”, Linda Tripp. It was Linda Tripp who blew the whistle...so I blame Linda Tripp more than Monica Lewinsky. Monica was just 22 and dazzled by the attention...she was not 100% the villain of the piece, and she has suffered for it, her life being blighted both personally and professionally. I remember reading once that she had a relationship here and there, but all relationships fizzled since beaus were understandably reluctant to take her home and introduce her to their mother. Most of us have can admit to an indiscretion here and there in the growing up process, but have never had to face the consequences Monica has. It is only now with maturity she has found her voice and speaks up for herself and others.
I agree. She made a youthful mistake - a rather big one, but one of youth and immaturity nonetheless - and she has paid the price for the rest of her life. But for Clinton’s immorality and Tripp’s big mouth, she might be happily married with kids, rather than the butt of jokes with little hole for true happiness.
All of that is on them.
Monica Lewinsky ... Paula Jones ... Kathleen Willey ... Juanita Broaddrick.
What do all these women have in common? They were victimized by Bill Clinton and his sidekick Hillary.
To suggest that Linda Tripp is at all responsible for this mess is to suggest that she owed no duty to you, to me, and to Paula Jones to have the truth be heard. Without Linda Tripp people might still be talking about what happens when you drag a 100 dollar bill through a trailer park.
That we are talking about a former President of the United States and are blaming anyone but him and his enablers is the real shame in all of this.
So, the POTUS that panderingly signed a sexual harrassment bill into law doesn't have to follow that law?
Tripp, at best, could be simply viewed as an upstanding citizen blo..., er, sounding, the whistle over the sexual misdeeds in the WH to save fellow XX types from a predator.
("Probably" not her real motive..., especially in DC.)
