This month in Vanity Fair, Monica Lewinsky writes about her affair with President Clinton. Hard to believe she is now 40. How time flies when you are having fun. There are excerpts from the article posted online. She delves into the humiliation of it all and addresses at one time contemplating suicide. She was only 19 years of age when the affair began if I recall correctly but makes it very clear the relationship was consensual. My own opinion is that she paid a heavy price for her poor judgment. But at 19 and having a powerful man such as a president coming on to you, well let's just say I have always held Bill Clinton more responsible because of her age. Now Lewinsky says her current goal, “is to get involved with efforts on behalf of victims of online humiliation and harassment as she suffered and to start speaking on this topic in public forums.”

Monica Lewinski was used and abused by the President of the United States. She was barely an adult. He should, for the rest of his sorry life, be embarrassed by his actions. He's a scum bag. So's his wife.
All true. But I really don't care who ****s whom.
Well, you should, Top Cat, when it's the President of the United States using his power and station to inflict real harm on a 19-year-old girl. It's an unfair, lopsided relationship of the scummiest kind. He couldn't even choose an equal. So wrong.

What are you talking about?So after 20 years she decides to spill all the secrets? She chooses to do so two years before Hillary hits full blown campaign mode? That's convenient:roll:
If this isn't some kind of deal to dispose of Hillary baggage before the campaign I'll eat my hat.
What are you talking about?
What I'm saying is that by spilling the beans now she heads off a lot of the inevitable criticism that we'll see during the Hillary campaign in 2016. In other words, I suspectthat this is as much a political move as it is anything else. Lewinsky herself has little to nothing to gain by "exposing" something that's been widely known for 20 years so there must be another reason.
Not that you are wrong, but why do it now and not before 2008 when it looked like she would be the front runner then like it does now? Seems like before the 2008 election would have been a good time to air this out as well.

If I had to bet, I'd say because democrats don't have anyone to run up against Mrs. Clinton this time. In '08, democrats had two strong candidates, 2016 is going to be different. I believe lutherf might know what he's talking about. But, who knows, maybe Monica needs money now?

Probably more Monica needs money. There is a lot more for Republicans to attack Clinton on now then there was in 2008 or 2007. This would just more likely than not come off as some petty Republican attack on Clinton given how long ago it was then anything else.
I certainly hope so.
It's a bit soon, but it might work.
let us not forget how Hillary attacked this young woman.
Bull****.
Lewinski was a 19-year old adult who knew what she was doing, who aggressively initiated the affair, actually.
You are a big girl, and you should know this by now: even if Clinton had been the initiator all women of legal age are fair game for any man on the make. Clinton did commit a grave immorality, but it was was not that he had sex with someone 30 years younger, it was that he cheated on his wife. I am not a fan of Hillary the politician, but I feel sorry for Hillary the woman and wife: she was the one who was wronged, and that should be obvious to anyone who is living in the real world.
I'll tell you this too: Lewinski shared in that grave immorality by having an affair with a married man, and I hope the little whore doesn't make a cent off this belated tell-all that she is trying to foist on the world.
So after 20 years she decides to spill all the secrets? She chooses to do so two years before Hillary hits full blown campaign mode? That's convenient:roll:
