Bill Clinton always tried to lift people up and was so concerned for what would happen to Monica Lewinsky and so pleased she wasn't just frozen in time but was able to make a career for herself.

Earnest Prole said...: Thank God she wasn't frozen like Hillary, if you know what I mean and I think you do.; 6/9/18, 6:55 AM
Darkisland said...: I've not followed Monica's career but my impression is that it has been pretty much non-existant.

What has she been doing, career wise, over the past 20 years or so?

A Lewinski will forever be known as a blowjob. Some career. ML was a star-struck girl willing to do what she could, and he knew it.; 6/9/18, 7:12 AM

West Texas Intermediate Crude said...: The faux apology trick is not working and will not work, because everyone knows something closer to the truth. They will circle back to the "crazed stalker" theory soon enough. That will not work either, because blue dress. The only thing that will make people forget that Bill'n'Hillary abused Monica is for them to STFU and fade into the background.
Like that's ever gonna happen...; 6/9/18, 7:16 AM

In comparison, Gary Hart's girlfriend Donna Rice has had a twenty-five-year career as an anti-smut warrior; her organization even initiated a campaign named “Say No To Teen Vogue” after the magazine published "Anal Sex: What You Need to Know/How to Do it the Right Way."

So would it kill Monica Lewinsky to speak out against teen cigar sex?; 6/9/18, 7:22 AM
tim in vermont said...: If Republicans hadn't pounced, this would have been a big nothing, because we all know #METOO is a crock of sugar we only made up to get Trump. And, by the way guys, thanks for not bringing up any of those other lying whores.; 6/9/18, 7:22 AM
tim in vermont said...: Only room in the narrative for two wronged women, Hillary and Monica. Try to use the phrase loveable scamp.; 6/9/18, 7:25 AM
rehajm said...: #MeToo officially just ended.; 6/9/18, 7:29 AM
Anne in Rockwall, TX said...: The only thing I recall from Monica's career was her hawking some cloth purses that looked like something made to get a girl scout sewing badge.; 6/9/18, 7:53 AM

FullMoon said...: Bill should have divorced Hillary and married Monica back in the day.
Might have saved everybody a lot of trouble, and the world would be a better place today.

First divorce while in office
Youngest first lady.
Great love story; 6/9/18, 8:32 AM
tcrosse said...: Years ago Monica hosted SNL. They did a skit where the setup was that Hillary had thrown Bill out of the house and he was living with Monica. At one point Vernon Jordan drops in with a couple of hookers (!) and Bill asks Monica for some money so they can go get something to eat. Happy days.; 6/9/18, 8:35 AM
William said...: He really looked phony and hypocritical. The fact that he remains neglectful of the facts of Lewinsky's post White House career just emphasizes his lack of remorse. He should just stay out of public life.......The Civil War wasn't just about states' right and his affair with Monica wasn't just about sex.; 6/9/18, 8:38 AM
rehajm said...: Like an ancient comedian who thinks he’s still got it because they’re still laughing.

He’s the Henny Youngman of politics.; 6/9/18, 9:36 AM

n.n said...: It's not like he deemed her unworthy and aborted her. It was a case of superior exploitation. Even then, bad Choice, repent, and sin no more.; 6/9/18, 11:06 AM

mikee said...: He and his wife should be unable to appear publicly without feminists protesting his lifelong history of rape and sexual harassment, and protesting even louder his use of his political office to do so.; 6/10/18, 9:35 AM
