Because she blew the whistle on the Bushies, too.

"The Bushes have long memories. They know full well it was Linda Tripp who, among others, ratted out the Bush-Jennifer Fitzgerald relationship during the first Bush administration."
Let's hear what she has to say, eh, Linda?
DISMANTLE THE CIVIL SERVICE NOW!

NewsMax.com reports that Linda Tripp said in a radio interview that she doesn't want a job in the Bush White House; expressed disappointment that ex-President Clinton wasn't indicted; said he had several White House girlfriends; expressed her belief that the first lady knew about Monica Lewinsky; and confirmed rumors that Mrs. Clinton ordered staffers not to make eye contact with her.
The exchange between the Sexgate whistleblower and WABC Talk Radio's Sean Hannity lasted for more than an hour and included questions from listeners. On rumors that President Bush had declined to hire her in his administration, Tripp said, "The last thing I want to do is create a nuclear situation for him" by working at the White House. "This is Clinton's dirty laundry. I'm suing the Clinton White House." Despite the absence of a Bush White House job offer, Tripp had only praise for the new president: "President Bush ran on a platform of many things but one was a request to be elected, just to ask the American people to restore integrity and decency and honor to the White House," she said. "I have enormous respect for him."
