" The image of my mother -- wan and emotionally distraught -- as she left the federal courthouse just over five years ago will be forever fixed in my memory. "
If my memory serves me correctly this emotionally distraught mom had at the time a quote that went something like "So what's the big deal. She b..w the president and then lied about it."

This is who Monica's mom is now married to:

R. Peter Straus, age 74, is a New York Democratic fundraiser and publisher with a slightly less glittering string of political appointments (assistant administrator for Africa of AID, director of Voice of America). Straus is also an amateur opera buff, which is how he met [Monica's mom] Marcia Lewis (she wrote a book on the Three Tenors).

Looks like servicing Democrats with "airs" is in the blood.
