Ruth Marcus: Monica Lewinsky "Was Not Precisely An Innocent Victim" (video)

RUTH MARCUS, WASHINGTON POST: I think it comes to something very interesting that ties together the Huckabee comments and the Rand Paul comments, which is there's only two ways -- there seem to me a tendency to talk about women in two ways when it comes to sex and sexual activity. Either they're terrible victims preyed on by older men as in Monica Lewinsky. President Clinton did a bad, bad thing, Monica Lewinsky was not precisely an innocent victim completely, I recall thong flashing there. They're either innocent victims or they are sexually promiscuous, slutty, low-life women. There's no sort of women get to use sex and sexual activity and with that use contraception responsibly just like men do.

Wow. Feminists and liberals have been carping forever about sexual predator people in the supervisory chain.

Now, they say she deserved it.

Society needs a term for “fully cooperating victim.” Oh, wait, we have one: Dumbass.

It applies to Monica Lewinsky. It applies to 18-year-old boys screwing their high school teachers or their mothers’ friends. It applies to men who screw random women and get stuck with child support payments.

Dumbass.

Billy boy was a grown married man with a young daughter. He was the President of the US. Monica was a stupid young woman. He is the one who should have had the sense to not have anything to do with her. She was a victim of her own stupidity but he was responsible for what happened.

To make matters worse they tried to get her to lie about the whole thing. Anyway making excuses for Billys behavior is a sicko.

A 40+ year old boss having sexual relations with a pre-21 year old intern (employee) is NEVER EVER acceptable accept of course when it’s a Democrat President involved.

Truth be told, a former classmate had an affair with my senior year lit teacher and then proceeded to stalk him, then he ended up sexually promiscuous for a while until he got therapy.

No matter how it happened teachers should be keeping their hands OFF OF THE STUDENTS!

The person I despise the most in the whole Monica mess is her dad. He basically gave Bill a pass to mess around with his daughter, saying that he didn't blame him. If Dr. Lewinsky had stood in front of the WH the day after the story broke, and accused Clinton of preying on his 20 year old daughter..Bubba would have been forced to resign in a day.

That would have made Gore the President, and he'd likely have been elected in 2000, and that means that Gore would have been in the Oval Office on 9/11...

Oh wait a sec...

I heard Huckabee and that's not even remotely what he said. He said Democrats paint women as either too stupid or victims of their libido to take care of their contraception without the government getting involved.

This is just me, but I think Monica is lucky that Tripp exposed the whole thing, or Monica would be just another anonymous victim of the DC crime-world.

Adultery is bad, inexcusable, but to mess around with a powerful man is just asking to be killed. There are people who sincerely believe that the Kennedy family killed Marilyn and there are Kennedy mistresses who have ended up dead conveniently to the benefit of the Kennedy family.

He shouldn’t have messed with her, but if he was pressuring her, she should have quit the job and gotten herself out.

Rand Paul makes one statement and the entire War Room goes ballistic making excuses.

Pray America is Waking

She was young, stupid and starry eyed. She actually believed that Billy boy loved her and was going to leave Hillary for her.

He was the President and a grown man. He should have had nothing to do with her.

Yeah, like, y’knaw, those 20 year-olds are REAL devious and cunning. Bill Clinton was helpless against Monica’s wiles.

Her comment doesn't really make much sense either. It sounds like she's working off different scripts that don't really fit together well.

1) Republicans are at war with women.

2) Monica was asking for it.

3) Use condoms.

She's saying that Republicans call women sluts, but she strongly implies that about Monica Lewinsky herself.
