Well, lets be fair here.

This woman did some amazingly stupid things in her youth, and harmed very powerful people in a very public way, they have gone out of their way to destroy her.

She can’t get a real job, who would honestly hire her and want that media frenzy on them? She’s a pariah among liberals for tainting one of their saints, and she’s a pariah among conservatives, because of what she did as well.

Very very powerful people very effectively destroyed her, she has no chance at any sort of normal life, so don’t be so hard on the gal. SHe’s going to spend the rest of her life paying for something that for most people would be an very bad youthful decision, that most folks would never know about. Instead hers are not only known about, but every salatious detail is now part of the government record.

Well, lets be fair here.

Well said. We really should stop attacking Monica. She was a young girl seduced by the President of the U.S. People with power / money do this every day (sadly), but to make her the subject of crude jokes is really not decent here at Free Republic.

I’ve been following this site for years and do so because of the better level of discourse and because I think we are a lot more civilized than those at DU, Salon or that ilk.

Let’s give her a break.

She probably has to sell a tell all to make money. As you said, kind of hard for her to get normal employment the rest of her life. Carry that burden around for a while.

I agree with you. I've done some stupid things in my life, and I've learned from them. Unlike Sinatra, I have several regrets, but I can't change the past - only what I do now and in the future.

None of us really know what's in her heart, or what she does with her time that might be very charitable and constructive.

What about Mary Magdelene? She was forgiven. From what any of us know Lewinsky is deserving of forgiveness as well - IMHO.

She is not a pariah to me...I’m sympathetic to her myself.

Show me a woman today under 65 who hasn’t given a blow job...I mean really.

I’m 55 and even in my day I’d wager a majority of gals gave head if they were in the mood...plenty did it to keep the prize intact for later...or whatever reason

and I would bet most married women have oral sex coming and going...it’s pretty much part of married sex I think..it’s damned intimate and pleasing both ways obviously

and a young sorta chubby but pretty gal at what 19 or 20 has the president of the United States hitting on her with all his obvious persuasive skills...man...most girls today without a strong foundation woulda gone for it...imagine what he promised her for a second..i mean we are talking Slick Southern Charm here...laying it on thick

I’ve seen girls get stupid and have sex with a married older man who had no more cachet than he owned the Sonic drive in she car hopped at or he was high school coach or whatever daft impression...for all the blather about maturity as the father of two I have yet to see this maturity gap the fembots trot out...there is nothing more compulsive or self obsessed than a late teen girl or young woman in the throes of sexual power and hormones...girls start noticing men are attracted to them and it goes to their head..often

I don’t blame her...a naive girl..truly a girl

I blame him...extremely poor judgment and he lied about it under oath...the real issue here

Clinton’s dalliance with Monica paled compared to JFk’s gangbangs with 18-19 year old interns in the White House pool with him directing the action...now that is pretty wild compared to Slick’s blowjobs

Slick’s sexual assaults...now that is where he really shone isn’t it...how on earth can the dems trot out Bill Clinton on their war on women
