Stanley: Shame on Monica Lewinsky
CNN ^ | October 21, 2014 | Timothy Stanley

Posted on 10/21/2014 8:01:19 PM PDT by Bettyprob

Shameless. There's no other word to describe Monica Lewinsky. Sixteen years after her affair with President Bill Clinton became public knowledge, she's returned to the limelight with a campaign against cyberbullying -- of which she claims to have been "patient zero."

Ignore the fact that she was patently not the primary victim in the Zippergate affair (poor Hillary Clinton was) or that any comparison with someone suffering a disease, especially at a time when people are dropping dead from Ebola, is tasteless in the extreme.

What's most depressing is that when she rejoined the public stage, she said she was inspired to speak out by the story of Tyler Clementi, a student who committed suicide after a video of him kissing another boy went up online. Young Clementi was the victim of societal homophobia as well as an invasion of his privacy, and his death makes any comparison with Lewinsky's self-imposed troubles ridiculous. Moreover, Clementi died in 2010. Lewinsky has decided to revisit his cause in 2014, suggesting that the timing may have less to do with him than it does with Hillary Clinton.

She should blame Clinton for her woes, and not Drudge. In actuality, Drudge probably saved her life.

Reading about Monica again made me thing of the popular Bettie Currie, and I found out she is still living.

That’s because it was all a vast ring-wing conspiracy.

Phobia means one has an extreme fear that I deeply embedded, and the person can’t readily help it. Bad choice of words from the get go.

Monica does herself no favors. One would think she’d move on. Very tiring to see her trot herself out again. But, as we see, once a slut, always a slut.

This old grannie doesn’t feel sorry for her one little bit.

She was old enough to know that it wasn’t “right, prudent, morally correct, or conducive to her future success in life” to engage with a married man in any form of sexual dalliance, no matter how “charming” (ugh) or powerful he might have been.

I take pity on her for one reason only.

She seems to be dumb enough, or so poorly parented, to be unaware of consequences. Until someone smacks her upside the head, and tells her to shut her pie-hole, get on with a productive life (go and sin no more), she is lost, blaming others for her willful adolescent notions that she can get away with anything because she “felt like it at the time”, and wants to blame those who “outed her” silly promiscuous fantasies of grandiose conquests.

That said, we were all young idiots once, and did very dumb things, destructive to ourselves, and others. But, if we wanted to get on with our lives, and do better, we owned up to our mistakes, and didn’t blame others for our failures and lapses.

As long as she blames others for her irresponsible behavior, she has failed to mature, and learn from her self-centered adolescent mistakes.

If her parents can’t get through to her at this point in her life, maybe the mass media can smack her upside the head? (I know, I am dreaming of a long time ago, and far away, when we once had morals and values, and the culture around us supported these.)

It is very hard for good parents to pass along wisdom to their children, for modern media, echoing mass cultural degradation, makes us out to be antiquated fools, no longer relevant in today’s version of sodom and gomorrah.

Those who hold to basic principles of civilized behavior are ridiculed and ostracized, and have been cut off at the knees, marginalized by modern media’s deafening erosion of societal norms .

Ms. Lewinsky obviously believes that she is without blame, so we should pray for her corrupted soul, and for her parents, who (I hope, for her sake) must be so embarrassed, humiliated, and worried about her.

Wow. Hitlery mobilized the Bimbo Eruption Squad in record time.

Obviously she views Monica as a bigger threat than a bunch of protestors gathering outside a US Consulate.

Hillary was a victim. I see where they’re going with this.

Usually when a boss gets a bj from an underling she is the victim. Unless it’s a democrat president.

I never knew about that one.

What power does to people, dear G_d do I ever hate it. It's that kind of story that just wrecks your faith in humanity, that anyone supposedly "reliable" enough to commit the act itself would do it as "part of the job." I'm speechless.

This is what a typical liberal whore does when one tries to protect her from a pimp.

No it’s Greek, not Latin, and means “fear of the same”

Then why is it used by the Lavender Mafia to denote fear of sodomites?

The Hillary media could care less about her... like if she died, they wouldn’t even care. Monica acted like a slut with a married man; like that mattered to him. Hillary had been covering up Bill’s affairs for a long time. What does that say about her? Why did she stay with him knowing he wasn’t faithful to begin with? She covered up countless affairs and still is pretending they have a healthy marriage ....she can’t handle anything, in my opinion and the only thing she is good at is covering up what is the truth.

Monica Lewinsky is shameless? Said while they all still line up to fellate the Horny Hick from Hope, the shyster who has stolen more money through his phony Clinton Foundation than any Mafia don can enviously dream?
