Bill Clinton: Monica Lewinsky affair was to ‘manage my anxieties’
nyPOST ^ | 3/5/2020 | Lee brown

He’s never heard of Prozac?

Bill Clinton waves off his tawdry affair with then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky in a new documentary — by saying it was something he did “to manage my anxiety.”

The ex-president, in the upcoming Hulu series “Hillary” about his wife, likens working in the Oval Office to being a boxer “staggering” around after a 15-round prize fight that’s been extended to 30-rounds.

“And here’s something that’ll take your mind off it for a while,” Clinton, 73, says of his two-year tryst with Lewinsky that began in 1995 when she was 22.

“Everybody’s life has pressures and disappointments, terrors, fears of whatever,” he continues.

“Things I did to manage my anxieties for years.”

Episode three of the one-sided, four-part biography series about Hillary Clinton — which premieres Friday — focuses on the sordid, 25-year-old affair that almost ended Clinton’s presidency and dogged his wife throughout her own political career.

Titled “The Hardest Decision,” the episode leads with footage from the 2016 campaign in which President Trump talks about the scandalous liaison, calling Hillary “an enabler.”

It later cuts to Bill’s deposition in Paula Jones’ sexual harassment lawsuit against him, in which he was asked detailed questions about Lewinsky.

Shouldn’t these pathetic subhuman flotsam be in prison or hanged for their many and obvious crimes...after fair quick trial and conviction of course.

“I was so grateful she thought we still had enough to stick it out,” Bill says

Naturally, based on the title and excerpt you’d think this quote was about Monica. It’s actually about Hillary.

Why are these pathetic grifters still lying about this? To what end?

“to manage my anxieties...”

He has completely failed. Using women to manage anxieties is selfish, cruel, unethical and weak.

Strong men respect people.

#44. re Bill Clinton saying “I was so grateful she thought we still had enough to stick it out”.

That is a line the will give comedians enough material till the next millennium.

* Bill, it was you who “stuck it out”.

* As to whether it was “enough to stick it out”, I’ll leave it to historians for comments.

* I really doubt that she was “grateful” for anything. She saved money by not cleaning her dress. He refused to tip her for it. Or he did “tip her” for one thing and not the other.

Oh I’m so mixed up. Was it the Oval Office or the Oral Office? Confused minds want to know.

I never heard anyone call him “Big Bill Clinton”. Wonder why?

The Oval Office (been there) and presidential desk looks right out the window to the White House back lawn and mall. Surprised a tourist didn’t get the photo of the century.

He treated Monica like a piece of meat, and basically just admitted it to the world. He’s a disgusting predator, how does he escape justice?

I wonder if that’ll work with my wife.. Honey, I was just using the intern, our neighbor, the campaign worker, Chelsea’s teacher, the hairdresser, and all those women that the security detail brought over as a repository for all my stress.

She not only knew— but, with her proclivities probably totally approved of his abuse sexually of competitor women (who really weren’t competitors, but actually mutual targets. More likely asked him pervo like.... “how was it”, and commiserate on their mutual perverted likes). Part of their
“relationship” dontcha know? More perverted than “swinger” amoral morons.

I don’t think anyone has ever blamed The Rapist for having an obviously sexless marriage with the revolting Kankles. Can you imagine being married to that bossy nasty hag?

Kankles is modern-day Medusa, a 250 pound Gorgon who causes men to instantly become impotent.

This is the same ‘beloved’ President that stated over & over that ‘ORAL SEX” was NOT SEX.

Teenagers have run with that story ever since.
