......with the Clintons, the public and private were always intertwined in an unappetizing way. Their liberal agenda was held hostage to Bill Clintons libertine appetites......enlightened policies for women and a record number of women in exalted posts demanded cover-ups for Saturday Night Bill, as the dark side of the president was dubbed.....now that Faustian deal of doing good for all women while being bad with a few was no longer on the table.
Hillary and other prominent feminists backed BJed Bill; their henchmen willingly smeared Bills girlfriends and victims, calling them trailer trash, cash-for-trash, nutty and slutty.
.....it was Bill's narcissism and selfishness to force high-ranking women Hillary, Madeleine Albright and Donna Shalala to vouch for him when he knew the truth and could simply have admitted it, rather than lying, parsing and besmirching.
Feminists lost their way, demonizing Bill's women, treating them as collateral damage, human sacrifices to the sisterhoods dream of a feminist president...they looked the other way when Hillarys Bimbo Eruption Squad went on the attack---painting Lewinsky as a malicious stalker or a friendly fantasist, and Betsey Wright calling Bills women bimbos and gold diggers....... in Arkansas intimidating private investigators poked around the lives of Bills women.
Bill Clinton tried his usual trick of scapegoating, evoking JFK and LBJ----Clinton aides calling reporters to remind them. But by 1998, feminism had been flowering for 30 years. And J.F.K. was no role model in that regard.
..after the capricious behavior of Bill Clinton and the smearing of Clintonworld
...Bill Clinton has learned that his threadbare routine of maudlin self-pity and casting blame on everyone but himself doesnt work anymore. The definition of is doesnt depend on anything. It just is.

Sickening-----all these women knew Bill was a womanizer. They chose to defend him b/c he was good for "women's issues."
Same with sexual deviant NYAG Eric Schneiderman. women he spat at, choked, and slapped in the bedroom were told to back off b/c he was pushing women's issues. Amazingly the women actually "obeyed." Then #MeToo happened.....a sea change...he was ousted from office. The women he abused came forward.
Then Gov Clinton copping a hokey grin and Juanita Brodderick on the right oblivious to what he was planning to do to her.
When are the #Metoo women going to go after the prime member of the Bimbo Eruption Team...ABC’s George Staphanopolous?
Prosecution Phewww... No Way
With Jeff Sessions slow-walking and Rosenstein scrubbing, the DC power mongers are just hoping for the nasty rotten Clintons to be found at room temperature one morning. /sarc
The DOJ does NOT have the gumption to tackle the crooked Clintons.
As always, the bitter spinster, Maureen Dowd, forgets her role in humiliating Monica and as well as her part in trying to destroy Christopher Hitchens when he defended Bill’s “bimbos.” We need to have good memories when it comes to these swamp creatures.
Thanks for the reminder......we needed to hear that.
No, I think they did this willing so as not to jeopardize abortion.
Feminists lost their way,
No, their way is legalized abortion at all costs.
You are correct.... That # is a ‘pound’ sign, which is ironic.
Poor Monica, every time she sees a man with a cigar the tainted memories of her abuse come back to her. In her defense though, she was but 20 years old when the then 47 year old man who also happened to hold the most powerful office in the land grabbed her buttocks, and then grabbed a lot more afterword.
Maybe it has taken her time to realize that it was essentially ‘sexual harassment’ to the nth degree.
Dowd and her kind are pathetic... At that time they pointed to her age (21) when the news broke and declared that Monica was a ‘woman’ who knew what she was doing, that it was ‘consensual sex’ and that therefor dismissed the crime of sexual harassment in the work place because she was an ‘adult’. Apparently Ms. Dowd has regrets, but it’s a little to late for Monica and her PTSD.
***** Bill Clinton has the Southern Charm, the humor, and had the good looks and boyish personality to woo millions.*****
That over-used description of Bill Clinton drives me crazy. Those are not leadership qualities and in his case, not even accurate; it was/is all a phony act. Bill Clinton has always tried to present himself as an educated Elvis Presley - who was a genuine self-made poor, Southern, Christian, decent young man.
Bill Clinton is a greedy, phony, nasty human being with no redeeming qualities.
EXCERPT---The Clintons waged war on women / Dec 31, 2015 / MARK LENNIHAN AP
SNIP......no one in American politics better personifies a war on women than Hillary Clintons husband. For readers too young to recall the 1990s......Bill Clinton was a genuine sexual harasser in the classic definition of exploiting his power as a workplace superior, and the Clinton entourage worked hard to smear and discredit his many women accusers.
Start with bimbo eruptions, the phrase that Bill Clintons Arkansas fixer Betsey Wright used to describe the women who had affairs with Bill. Gennifer Flowers almost derailed his primary campaign in 1992, until Hillary stood by her man on CBSs 60 Minutes, and the media portrayed Flowers as a golddigger. ...
Many more would come forward, not least Paula Jones, an Arkansas state employee who testified that a state policeman working for then-Gov. Clinton invited her to Bills hotel room where he exposed himself and sexually propositioned her. Jones filed a sexual-harassment lawsuit, and Bill Clinton lied under oath, resulting in his impeachment.
The Clinton menagerie did their best to destroy her too. If you drag a hundred-dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what youll find, James Carville famously said about the women accusing Bill Clinton. ...
Then there was Monica Lewinsky, the White House intern whose story the Clintons want everyone to dismiss as a case of consensual sex and Bills runaway libido. But no CEO in America would survive in his job if he had a publicly known affair with a subordinate, much less a 22-year-old. ...
When news of that affair came to light, the Clintons also waged war on her reputation. Lewinsky was known as the Stalker, Bill Clinton told adviser Sidney Blumenthal on Jan. 21, 1998, according to Blumenthals grand jury testimony. Bill Clinton added that she came at me and made a sexual demand on me, but the president rebuffed her and the lowly intern then threatened him.
This smear quickly became a talking point of Clinton defenders. Gene Lyons, a Clinton media mouthpiece, told NBC that the president was, in a sense, a victim of someone rather like the woman who followed David Letterman around. The Associated Press reported that a White House aide was calling journalists to offer information about Monica Lewinskys past, her weight problems, and what the aide said was her nickname the Stalker.
Blumenthal denies he spread the Stalker tale, but the late journalist Christopher Hitchens swore in an affidavit that he had. It broke up their friendship.
Hillary Clinton described Lewinsky as a narcissistic loony toon, according to the personal papers of Diane Blair, a close friend of Clinton from Arkansas. This September Hillary Clinton declared that every survivor of sexual assault has the right to be heard. You have the right to be believed. But when her own access to political power was at stake, she dismissed the women and defended her husband.
SNIP ...We know from Clintons emails that Blumenthal remains a trusted Clinton friend and adviser who is likely to wield considerable influence in or outside a Clinton administration. And we know from those emails that the Clintons indulge his political conspiracy theories almost as much as he indulged Bill Clintons about Monica Lewinsky.
Gene Lyons! There’s a horrible name out of the past, lol.
After Christopher Hitchens went to Ken Starr to relate his conversation with his friend Sidney Blumenthal re destroying Monica as a stalker, Dowd wrote a Times piece calling him “Hitch the Snitch.” What followed was an avalanche of bad publicity for the concerned Brit in which even his ex-wife was called forth to bash him. An ugly episode in America which Dowd conveniently hides because she was in the middle of it.
She needs to retire to a nunnery.
Both Christopher Hitchens and his wife signed the affidavits one week prior to the impeachment vote.
Then she met Bill.
I love it when liberals fight each other.
He was very good on Clinton. His book “No One Left to Lie To” is definitive reading on the subject.
She should have dreamed of an orthodontist!
He and Joe Conason co-authored the 2000 "The Hunting of the President:
The 10 Year Campaign to Destroy Bill and Hillary Clinton, even got a film out of the deal.
The book outlines a purported (cough) right-wing campaign waged against Bill Clinton.......leading eventually to impeachment......
impeached because he lied under oath about having extramarital sexual relations with Lewinsky.
