Had she stayed (or ever been) classy, she wouldn’t be where she is now.
MJR: yeah, that’s my point.
umm, Neo, I think your spell-checker messed up, didn’t you mean to spell that “klassy” with a “K”?
She was young and starstruck. Yes, she certainly lacked class but she was treated in a shabby manner and exploited by the POTUS. There is no doubt that she was a willing participant in the shoddy affair, but Slick Willy bears more than 50% of the responsibility for her down fall. For Slick Willy there was no real downside. He escaped conviction, has gone on to makes millions, and is now the well respected elder statesman. He is the one with a total lack of class.
parker: oh, there’s plenty of “no class” to go around.
I do think, though, that now that Lewinsky is nearly 40 years old (my, how time flies) she should keep a low profile about this. She’s no dewy-eyed young thing any more; I would have preferred no tell-all book. I’ve heard quite enough about Bill Clinton’s private parts, thank you very much.
I have to fess up and admit…..I’ll be first in line to buy this morsel. Never did like him and it’s about time some responsibility was dumped on him and folks are forced to remember he really is NOT the choir boy he presents himself to be these days. If it’ll put a few bucks in her purse, all to the good for me. Just call me ‘classless’ I guess. 😉
No more need be said beyond the Egyptians’ welcome chant for Hillary: “Monica Monica Monica!”
He also laughed about his nonexistent sex life with his wife
Coulda knocked me over with a feather.
Yes, Bubba has gone on to become an honored elder statesman of the dems. I still detest the man.
How are he and Obama alike?
Both are good politicians.
Both have charisma.
Both are inveterate liars.
In fact Obama has surpassed Bill on that third one.
How are they not alike?
Clinton was a serial philanderer and misogynist.
Obama is apparently faithful to his wife and a good father.
Clinton was not an ideologue. Obama is.
A loverly pair they are. Both a disaster in their own ways.
I hope Monica makes a bundle off her book. (I will buy it to supprt the cause.) It’s nice to know that historians willl have this tasty morsel to digest when they start writing about his legacy.
I have no desire to read a Monica tell all, but any opportunity to embarrass and debase WJC should not go to waste. What I am looking forward to is reading the tabloid headlines as I go through the checkout line.
Whatever. She was 22 at the time. That d!ck ruined her life and if she wants to make a buck off it and hopefully embarrass BJ Clinton in the process – more power to her. I hope she makes a ton of money. Like it would hurt our ” culture”? Puhleez..
I, too, chuckled when I heard this. I only hope she releases it in time to “pay the taxes on Tara”.*
*embarrass the Dimocrats
The great double standard: Monica L is a slut and Bill C is our respected former president.

P. J. O’Rourke wrote in Give War A Chance:
You can’t shame or humiliate modern celebrities.
In terms of political-celebrities, this is only true of libtards. Anyone on the conservative side is expected to slink off silently in ignominy and shame.
I have to admit I feel sorry for her. Many of us do really stupid things in youth but don’t have our lives ruined as a result. And it is vastly unfair that he’s still the Beloved Leader for liberals. I hope for her sake she doesn’t write this book, because it will have no serious impact on Clinton’s reputation, already as low as it could be for some of us, impervious to any negative facts for others, but will generate a lot of hostility toward her from his admirers. Surely she could find some kind of place for herself in the world where she could live unnoticed. Maybe she still wants some limelight, in which case less sympathy is in order.
Whatever. She was 22 at the time. That d!ck ruined her life and if she wants to make a buck off it and hopefully embarrass BJ Clinton in the process — more power to her.
LOL, I love this idiotic “victim” meme that gets applied to her.
1) She got “well paid” for her tawdry sex. She got a contract with Weight Watchers, a cushy Pentagon Job, and 15 minutes of fame.
2) Now she gets a book deal for, well, pretty much doing nothing but what a few million women do every day.
Don’t get me wrong, she “got taken advantage of”, but she got well rewarded for her ignominy, and continues to be.
If she’s had problems moving on, it’s because she’s the one with the issues, not anyone else. She could certainly move, change her name, and, somewhat, her look, (and she could likely pull a few strings to help her with that) and no one would give a rodent’s patootie about who she was or what she did.
None of this is an excuse for what BILL did, mind you. *I* still think he’s scum. But Monica got what she deserved, and then some. She wasn’t a “victim” by any means.
Sorry, if you’re working in a politician’s office, and start up an affair with ANY politician associated with that office, you really, really have no business whining when it doesn’t turn into a marriage. ESPECIALLY when the politician in question is already married.
>>> Bill C is our respected former president.
Only because he’s a liberal, JFM. Only because of that.
I agree with IGotBupkis. We’re of the same age, and while Monica was getting a government job with a great salary and little responsibilities, I was working for part-time jobs to make rent and pay for books. The fact that she was offered a job in place of hush money, got an opportunity to design purses, etc. made me sick.
She was not at all a victim. At 19, I and co-workers had to deal with a county supervisor who was always on the make. There was nothing pleasant or charming about him, and we spent most of the summer avoiding being alone with him. On the other hand, Monica was having an affair with a married man of power, whose friends/family seemed to think it was just a great way to get ahead. (Another one had an affair with a married senator and was murdered; her mother or sister had been supportive of the adultery, as I recall).
I wasn’t so naive as to think that women (and men) don’t use whatever advantage to get themselves ahead. But the gross details and humiliating situations erased any sympathy I might have had for Monica or the other gold-diggers.
I Got Bupkis:
Yeah, you’re right. She got what she deserved. Most people in their early twenties would have been able to survive the full onslaught of the Democrat party and the MSM. She should have thought it was cool to go through life having a sex act name after her.
