So many people have no idea why this became public...
and i am one of them
what caused this to go public

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.
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.
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.
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.”

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.
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.
.
You'd go after a total stranger? That's funny. And she'd laugh at how pathetic you were.
You keep saying it repeatedly. Monica was not a child and she made her own decision to do this. She wasn't married to Bill. Hillary was. Bill owed Hillary an explanation & an apology. Monica owed Hillary nothing. Monica isn't to blame for the failure in the Clinton marriage. So Hillary would have no reason to be mad at Monica other than projecting her failure onto Monica.
I'm going to have to disagree; I think Monica does owe Hillary and the other wronged wife an apology--unless, of course, Monica doesn't think she did anything wrong by sleeping with another woman's husband.

Wow now Bill cheating is Hilarys failure?:lamo
By the way...I think the "what a bitch" didn't need to be directly said to her.
Nothing wrong with her having angry feelings towards the mistress. (and of course massive anger towards her spouse)
She would only owe her an apology if she had a relationship with her - they were friends, they were relatives, whatever. As strangers, they had no relationship, and she has nothing to apologize for. He had a relationship with Hillary, he took vows, he owed her something. Monica owed her no more than she owes me or you.
Plus, as a 22 year old, like that poster keeps saying, Monica was free to sleep with whomever she chose to, and she did just that. It's neither illegal nor immoral for a single 22 year old to have sex. It is immoral for a married 50 year old man to have sex with another woman.
Nobody should apologize for doing something that is their right to do.
Well, I guess we'll have to disagree again because I don't think it's anybody's right to sleep with someone else's spouse. In fact, I think it's a wrong.
But the marriage didn't fail, they are still together.
Cheating, or doing what has already been agreed on, doesn't equal failing necessarily.
I am sure anyone who says otherwise would have plenty to say about the young woman sleeping with their husband, if they did not agree to it that is.
Failure to honor vows, would probably be a better way to say it. I take vows seriously, which is why I took the marriage ones.

Marriage vows are different for everyone and monogamy doesn't really have to be part of those vows for some. I'm not saying it's right or wrong because if that what makes some people happy and it's good for both of them, then that's fine with me.

I would. I'd kick my husband's ass all over the Eastern seaboard.
Politicians do not take vows, public policy statements or campaign promises seriously.
And yet you would still feel absolutely nothing for the woman? Even if she was a beautiful young woman who had told people prior to it happening that she was making it a goal to sleep with him?
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.
