Lewinsky was 22 when she began interning at the White House. She and Bill Clinton started flirting soon afterwards. One day she blurted out to him, “I have a crush on you,” and he replied, “Well, do you want to come into the back office?”

What exactly is up with all this new Monica Scandal revisiting now?
Is it some opponent maneuvering to discredit Hillary or is it her own diabolical regime’s method to take the focus off her (maybe some very serious problems looming) and cast her as a victim, too?
As soon as Bill said that, and then undertook his actions afterwards, he should have been run out of the WH.
Disgraceful, as only the filthies lowlife would ever do such a thing.
the guardian? the second one.
Thanks....I don’t really know. All I do know is “why now?”
Least we forget, it was the Republican senate leader that let him off the hook.
I blame Clinton more than I ever would Monica. Monica kept it quiet except for spilling the beans to her “bestie”, Linda Tripp. It was Linda Tripp who blew the whistle...so I blame Linda Tripp more than Monica Lewinsky. Monica was just 22 and dazzled by the attention...she was not 100% the villain of the piece, and she has suffered for it, her life being blighted both personally and professionally. I remember reading once that she had a relationship here and there, but all relationships fizzled since beaus were understandably reluctant to take her home and introduce her to their mother. Most of us have can admit to an indiscretion here and there in the growing up process, but have never had to face the consequences Monica has. It is only now with maturity she has found her voice and speaks up for herself and others.
“What sticks” and Monica in the same article. You can’t make this up...thanks for the belly laugh!
I agree. She made a youthful mistake - a rather big one, but one of youth and immaturity nonetheless - and she has paid the price for the rest of her life. But for Clinton’s immorality and Tripp’s big mouth, she might be happily married with kids, rather than the butt of jokes with little hole for true happiness.
All of that is on them.
From beginning to end, Monica is portrayed as the innocent victim in this story. But she helped a man commit adultery. She sinned. The meaning of the word “sin” is WRONG. An abomination against God.
hope, not hole. Damned phone always does that to me...it is why I will never trust a computer to drive my car.
Clinton did, too, but he was not an infatuated 22-year-old. He should have had better judgement, and more respect for himself, her, his wife, his young daughter and the country than to give in to temptation like that. Yeah, she was wrong, but he was to a far higher degree. She has more than paid the price by not being able to have a normal relationship since then, and thus to miss the joy and satisfaction of a marriage and kids.
Don’t be so quick to condemn until you consider ALL aspects of a situation.
But not for Linda Tripp’s big mouth, Monica Lewinsky might have been dead for over fifteen years by now. I don’t buy into all of the “Arkancide” BS, but some of it is just a little too “coincidental” in the Clintons’ favor.
Monica Lewinsky ... Paula Jones ... Kathleen Willey ... Juanita Broaddrick.
What do all these women have in common? They were victimized by Bill Clinton and his sidekick Hillary.
To suggest that Linda Tripp is at all responsible for this mess is to suggest that she owed no duty to you, to me, and to Paula Jones to have the truth be heard. Without Linda Tripp people might still be talking about what happens when you drag a 100 dollar bill through a trailer park.
That we are talking about a former President of the United States and are blaming anyone but him and his enablers is the real shame in all of this.
She cast her lot long ago. Perhaps she should be seeking elsewhere for forgiveness, resolution, or ‘closure’.
Clinton has done pretty damn well since. Monica, not so much. I’m sure she would like the forgiveness and oppurtunity to “move on” that Bill got.
What is it with this woman ... 20 years later and she is still playing the victim. Maybe the reason she feels so ‘sticky’ is because she has never accepted responsibility for the fact that she degraded both herself and the office of the POTUS. Yes, BJC is a smarmy womanizer, but really, she was so enamored that she lost all moral bearings, or is it that she didn’t have them to begin with. I smell a strong scent of narcissistic injury.
So, the POTUS that panderingly signed a sexual harrassment bill into law doesn't have to follow that law?
Tripp, at best, could be simply viewed as an upstanding citizen blo..., er, sounding, the whistle over the sexual misdeeds in the WH to save fellow XX types from a predator.
("Probably" not her real motive..., especially in DC.)
Yes. Any decent married man, especially one in authority over the young woman announcing her crush, would have the option of saying "well, thanks" and changing the subject. He wouldn't have invited her immediately to the back office. I guess Clinton was thinking, never let a good crush go to waste.
In contrast, I remember reading that Harry Truman, even when he was an old man, always left the office door open whenever he had to meet with a woman.
You have a point there.
Still, for all of her own fault in this, Monica has paid a huge price...while Clinton is now a centi-millionaire with a title and Secret Service protection.
