Monica Lewinsky Breaks her Silence

tres borrachos said:
I'm a married woman. I've been married to the same man almost 20 years. We've been together over 25 years. If he came to me and admitted to an affair with a 22 year old, I'd probably take an iron frying pan and ram it up his ass. Would I have any thoughts about the 22 year old woman? Nope. She wasn't standing next to me in my white dress at that country club in NJ on that January night taking a vow to be faithful to me. He was.

No woman with half a brain would blame another woman for her llife partner's transgressions.

I guarantee many if not most women - when actually faced with the situation - have enough anger and disgust left over for the 20 something.

Well, I'm not weak, I wouldn't blame a stranger for an obvious failure in my marriage. I guess other women are weak.

I heard she was shopping for a deal but can not find anywhere where that was finalized. Hope she does write a book. Hope she makes mega millions. After what the media, and the Clintonites and their minions did to her painting her as some ditzy predatory White House Intern never letting up on trash talk, hope she lives the rest of her life in opulence in spite of it. By the way you do know that one of the Clinton's biggest media minions has been Maureen Dowd and she got her Pulitzer prize for relentlessly going after Lewinsky painting her up to be some crazy bimbo. That's how leftist women roll. They have double standards. They claim equality for women but if you make their man look bad, you're trashed.

Monica Lewinsky returns: How Maureen Dowd caricatured Bill Clinton’s mistress as a crazy bimbo.

Let's not forget what the media did to Linda Tripp as well, or anyone who dared stand up against the Clintons.

I denigrate her about her past behavior. She had sexual liaisons with two married men. But it was water under the bridge. I believe in the capacity for change. But frankly, if I was married to either one of them - my trust would be shaky at best. But as an outsider 20 years after the fact - it is a great big "hookairs".

And frankly - who gives a hoot that she was 18 when she had her first prolonged affair with a married man. She was 22 when she took up with Clinton. Unless you tell me she lacked the capacity to discern right from wrong...she clearly shares responsibility .

But both cheating husbands are rat bastards. Doesn't stop the reality that she was absolutely no innocent. And if someone hadn't posted this article (let alone made like she was a teen at the time - instead of a college grad already with a history of a long affair with a married man) it would never have been on my radar.

Just curious if any of the married women on this board would think of the 22 year old sleeping with their husbands were innocent victims.:lamo

I don't think she is 100% innocent, but her, being a young 22-year-old woman, making an error in judgment like that is much more understandable than the POTUS!!! Don't you think? Sorry, but I expect more from my president than I do from some 22-year-old girl.

Hey, you can blame everyone else for your failures if it works for you.

Blame one party? Naw, that is just not reality based. Takes two to tango.If it was me, I would first and foremost be pissed at my cheating spouse. But I would have enough "what a bitch" left over for the other woman.

An error in judgment? What was the 4 or 5 years affair with her first married lover? Training wheels?

I swear, folks are acting like she was little miss innocent.

But I believe in the capacity for change. I will trust that she is no longer bedding other women's husbands. Hopefully Bill is keeping his nose clean as well.

Hopefully Monica's husband treats their marriage with respect.
 
As hard as I try not to, every time I see a picture of Monica Lewinski, I visualize her with a **** in her mouth.

Stop the madness!!

Obviously the POTUS should hold the most blame in this situation as compared to a 22-year-old girl, regardless of her sexual history.

LOL, right on. Nor would you blame yourself for his transgressions like Hillary did when she confided to her friend Blair. Yet the women on the left for years have laud Hillary for standing by her man while trashing every women Billy Boy ever engaged in inappropriate behavior. These are the feminists that claim they are for women's rights. Jeeeeeesh, they are setting women back to the point we may never recover. ;)

I never blamed her for sticking with Bill.

Her life her choice.

Cheating spouses and those who knowingly sleep with other peoples spouses are both asshole jerks, There is no moral high ground.

I agree that Lewinsky and all the other women Clinton engaged in sexual activities were lacking in morals because they knew he was married. However, to trash them for succumbing to his passes is unacceptable. And that IS what happened. He above all others knew he was married. To send out the goon squad to bash and claim all these women were somehow bimbos is unacceptable. To have his wife continue to put up with his behavior while declaring to be a feminist fighting for women's rights, is laughable. For his wife to blame herself and those he engaged in inappropriate behavior, while forgiving Billy, is sickening.

So when Monica was showing skin and snapping her thong, it wasn't an overt sexual flirtation, it was just flossing her tush. I swear, y'all make women sound like weak mindless folks without direction unless it is handed down by a man. Good or bad...women have free will. And the fact that Monica was just coming off of a 4 plus year affair with another married man.

And while a Clintonite like yourself will find everything you can to blame the women for what happened just like ole Hillary does, shows you are nothing but hypocrites when it comes to really taking on the issues where women are treated equally as a male. You are unwilling to address the age difference between the two logically because like Hillary, it's the bimbo's fault. Get over yourself.

I am blaming both parties. Takes two to tango. What don't you understand about that? Adulterers and their mistresses are scum. But I do believe in the capacity for change and forgiveness.

I have to ask.

I get that MOnica is putting this article and her book out to essentially head the discussion off at the pass.

But who was going to dredge her up again? Who benefits from her story being out there?

Democrats or Republicans?

Which ever side makes a big deal of the 2 decade old story....the press will be there.

If this is how 2016 begins.......:lamo

And you call Hillary a whore because she didn't behave the way you think she should have?

What the hell is wrong with you?

Oh, please. On this site, we judge people all the TIME for not behaving the way we think they should! Her husband is a dog, and it makes no difference to her because she's getting paid off. Her price is just much much higher than the whores on the street.

BTW, "What the hell is wrong with you?" is my line. ;)
 
You have to love the claim that he was somehow 'more' to blame than she was. As though she were some innocent, clueless victim of an unscrupulous predator. Snow White. There is no taking advantage without rape. She was a home-wrecking whore and he was a cheating douchebag. End of.

How was Hillary paid off? I mean seriously. Is it tin hat time?

Hillary would not have a political career if it wasn't for Bill Clinton. She would not have profited if she walked out on Bill Clinton when his escapades, and perjury, became public. She swallowed, and continued on with her career.

No one deserves to feel like they can't stand continuing to live because of a blowjob, regardless of circumstances. People talk about that being a "scandal" or something (google 'monica lewinsky' and it expands to include 'scandal'), no, all it was was a blowjob followed by a lie to a question that was no one's business to ask in the first place (except Hillary's). This is done on a daily basis all over the country.

The only thing the whole absurd matter can teach us is about bullying and america's pathetic obsession with sex. I think just as a big '**** you' if i were Monica or Bill, i'd have done it again right after the impeachment attempt.

Actually, it teaches us that you can sexually harass your employees, lie about sexual relationships with your employees in a deposition when you get sued by your employees, and totally get away with it if you're Bill Clinton.
 
Kobie said:
If her continued sexual gratification of President Clinton became a condition of her employment, then it would definitely be sexual harassment. There's no indication that it ever was anything other than consensual, however.
Click to expand...

Well, she was an unpaid intern when she said her relationship with Bill started. The next month she had a paid position. A few months later, she got moved out of the white house. None of that is proof of sexual harassment, but it could certainly be an indication.
 
Hard Truth said:
The only harm was from the people who publicized the incident to harm Clinton. She went to Washington with her 'presidential kneepads,' remember? I have no problem with her wanting to be a presidential groupie, and I don't hold it against Clinton very much that he couldn't resist the offer, few men could have. It would have been nothing but harmless fun if it wasn't discovered and publicized.

Also, it is not unethical to lie to people who are only trying to harm you.

So many people have no idea why this became public...
