Her shamed husband, anxious to try to make things up to her, eagerly threw his weight behind the move.

Must...not....comment....

The MSM trying to kick up a little sympathy for the devil.
The crying worked. The 'hecklers' worked.

The Monica Lewsinsky aspect of the Paula Jones lawsuit showed the way the Clinton damage control team operated.

This is the saddest aspect to the whole Clinton saga. Ten years after he was impeached, most of the country still believes it was because "he had an affair with an intern."

He was not impeached for an affair with an intern.

He was impeached because Paula Jones had filed a sexual harrassment suit against him, and he and his people intimdated them, got others to lie for him, defamed good people (including Kenneth Starr), and introduced the term "oral sex" into the mainstream.

I think Linda Tripp and Lucianne Goldberg saved Monica’s life. If they hadn’t urged Monica to save the dress, Monica would be dead now.

They intimidated those who might speak out. They savaged the character of Linda Tripp. And Bill Clinton lied under oath.

Agreed, these are the two things that bug me most about it all.
1. Linda Tripp was the only “hero” in this mess, but because of a bad hairdo and lipstick, etc. even those who should have spoke out for her snickered instead. She was trashed for simply doing the right thing and refusing to lie. Monica should have been trashed for asking a friend to lie. Instead Monica was made to look like a victim because the president was having sex with her.
2. This one in more hindsight; the republicans totally mishandled things from the start. They/we assumed the POTUS would resign instead of trashing the office if the truth came out about sex with a young lady. Since he didn’t resign his claims of it being all about sex were bolstered. In hindsight the obstruction of justice angle should have been the only thing talked about. We should have taken the all about sex angle away from the start and said ourselves that what he did sexually was his business, but obstruction of justice was a crime warranting removal from office.

Newt Gingrich, the Republican Speaker of the House, resigned when voters expressed their disapproval at the impeachment drive.

Is this the revisionist historical take on Newt?

I thought he resigned because Republicans lost seats in the election for not convicting Clinton.

I wonder if she ever got the dress back? It would probably sell for quite a bit on eBay.
