I feel absolutely no sympathy for Monica Lewinsky.
She grew up in comfort and luxury in Southern California; her father is a prominent oncologist; after her parents divorced, Lewinsky’s mother remarried into the Strauss family, which owned a chain of radio stations.
Despite meager academic credentials (and a non-existent resume), Ms. Lewinskey—through family connections—gets an unpaid internship in D.C., quickly followed by a paying gig at the White House. From media accounts and legal records, we now that Lewinsky had her eyes on Bill Clinton from Day One, doing everything she could to call attention to herself and get Slick Willie interested. Of course, Bill was happy to oblige, and Lewinsky became another name on the long list of women used, abused and discarded by William Jefferson Clinton.
After the scandal and her public humiliation, Lewinsky had the resources (read: family wealth) to do as she pleased, even earning a master’s at the London School of Economics. In fact, I can’t find any proof she’s had a steady job since 1997—and she dodged felony perjury and conspiracy charges as well. Poor little waif.
Now, we’re supposed to welcome her as some sort of expert on-God-knows-what: Lewinskys? Having affairs with married men? Internet bullying? Give me a break; Monica Lewinsky created her own humiliation when she decided to pursue Bill Clinton and became his own, personal humidor. Her “exile” from public life has been very comfortable, free from the financial and job worries that ensnared others in the Clinton orbit. Compare what happened to Monica and the living hell that Linda Tripp, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broderick have been through. You can make the case the Lewinsky got off easy.
However, it is curious that Ms. Lewinsky has chosen this moment to re-launch herself. I personally believe it has everything to do with Hillary Clinton and the fact that Bill chose her over Monica. Hillary will begin campaigning in earnest for the Democratic presidential nomination early next year, and it looks like Lewinsky will be in the public spotlight as well. Of course, the media considers the Lewinsky affair old news (and would never ask Hillary a question about it), but just her presence on the media circuit is enough to drive Hillary up a wall.
Apparently, Monica has forgotten that the Clintons have a long history of taking care of potential annoyances and problems. I’m not predicting that Lewinsky will meet a sudden, tragic fate, but it’s certain that Hillary’s media friends will re-launch the nut/slut attacks that drove Lewinsky into exile almost 20 years ago.
This has to be a strategy by the Clinton Apparatchiks to defuse the Slickmeister’s sexual cheating. With Lewinsky positioned into victim status, the slick looks like a hero when he swoops down to rescue her.
Girl, what part of "Thou shalt not commit adultery" is so hard for you to understand?
Monica, your time in the spotlight has been educational and I thank you for stepping up and showing everyone, especially young, vulnerable women, the consequences of violating that Commandment!
Now, for your own good and salvation, stop blaming others for what you've done to yourself when you opened that Pandora's box of consequences.
You're showing a gluttony for punishment that will soon be satiated should you continue down this path.
Still blaming others for her own escapades.
She’ll never recover until she admits her own involvement.
Drudge did not ruin her life .. SHE RUINED HER LIFE. And, I don’t believe Bill Clinton was EVER HER BOSS. She was an intern .. not a special assistant to the President.
Ruined by Drudge? No, missy, it was ruined by your own behavior and that of your boss.
Monica, are you saying it was drudge that made it all Blow Up in Your Face? I thought it was Clinton?
Her life was ruined by her own behavior!
Lewinsky’s problems have nothing to do with the Drudge Report, but in being dumb enough to sexually tease a sexual predator like Clinton and not report being sexually harassed. Add to that being dumb enough to think that Clinton, ostensibly a married man, would leave Hillary for a twenty something bimbo he was porking in the Oval Office.
The people who treated her the worst were the Clintons and the press!! Unsophisticated little skank who got bowled over by a powerful deviate and hung out to dry by his political machine and his cold calculating , lying wife!!!
she has replaced clintoons dick with her foot
Bull feathers! The damage to Ms Lewinski’s life was done by herself and WJ Clinton.
Never do in private what you do not want known in public.
