LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The federal government should protect parents' rights not to testify against their children, former White House intern and reality TV host Monica Lewinsky wrote in an opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times.

In the op-ed article printed in Sunday's newspaper, Lewinsky said it seemed appropriate on Mother's Day urge Congress to grant that right.

Now she's writing for the LA Times. UN believeable.

Why not? She meets their standards.

"I'm sure she developed the idea all by herself. Not."

That's right.
In response to the use during the Nazi era of children to inform against their parents, after the Second World War a Parent-child privlege not to testify was enshrined in German law.

Oh please that is pure BS, this perverted gal and her perverted mother helped a pervert obstruct justice.

It took only 22 posts for someone to address the issue of the post rather than the person involved. FreeRepublic seems to tend more towards "People Magazine" than it does towards "National Review" or the like.

She may be as slimey as the Arkie she was chewing on, but she does speak for a powerful group. Her views are shared by John Gotti's son, most of the leadrs of the major crime families, ALL of the Kennedys, Jesse Jackson's familiy, the family of Marty King, and the Clintons. The Clintons, through intermediaries, are believed to have urged that the priveledge be extended to biological parents AND nominal parents and to the children of black hookers.

Just what the Hell is Fox doing by bringing this Cultural parasite back to semi-prominance?

Maybe she's been kissing up to some network executive?

Kissing? Don't you mean sucking?

Happy Mother's Day from Monica. All Mom's should be blessed with such a loving and caring daughter who stores her dirty laundry in their closets.

It wouldn't help anyone for my mother to testify against me. If I were committing illegal acts, I certainly wouldn't implicate my parents by telling them.

Next that needs to be enacted is a felatrix/president privilege.

[putupon]

Just what the Hell is Fox doing by bringing this Cultural parasite back to semi-prominance?

Don't look a gift pig in the mouth, every minute she's on TV the public is reminded of just what a sleazeball administration the DimRATs ran.

An amusing link.

The New York junior Senator doesn't seem to be to good at responding to Monica's letters trying to change this aspect of law.
