MSNBCs Alex Witt is clearly one of those journalists who wishes Bill Clintons Monica Lewinsky sex scandal would completely fade from memory so as not to obstruct Hillary Clintons potential bid for the White House in 2016. On Sundays edition of Weekends with Alex Witt, the host went so far as to apologize after her guest mentioned Lewinskys name. [Video below. MP3 audio here.]
Witt was talking to Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) about Sen. Rand Pauls (R-Ky.) attempts to link Mrs. Clinton to her husbands sexual misdeeds in the 1990s. Cicilline, a loyal Democrat, stuck up for Hillary and downplayed the importance of the scandal: I think these recent attempts to talk about President Clinton's relationship with Monica Lewinsky are an effort really to discredit... Secretary Clinton. There will be voters in the presidential election in 2016 who weren't even born during the Monica Lewinsky matter.
Whoops! The congressman mentioned Monica Lewinskys name twice. Witt, who had not spoken Lewinskys name up to that point, issued an apology to her viewers: I gotta tell you, I'm sorry we even had to mention that young lady's name it is what it is.
Is this what its come to? An MSNBC host doesnt even want to say the name of Bill Clintons most infamous sexual liaison anymore?
Some public figures may want to minimize the importance of the Lewinsky scandal in judging Hillary (including the gentlemanly moderate, Mitt Romney), but it deserves to be part of the discussion. In this age of the supposed War on Women, its worth asking if Hillary set the best example for women by excusing not just the Lewinsky affair, but her husbands other sexual infidelities as well.

i see your lewinski and raise you a fluke.
high-tech airbrushing by commies
They’re pretty sloppy; since nobody is ever going to forget Monica & Bill, they should keep the focus on her instead of the real story of that time: a sitting president settled a sexual harassment case for $890K and lost his law license for five years. Paula Jones was the real story (in whose case Monica was subpeonaed), and libs successfully morphed it into a story about Bill & Monica.
The Dems and RINO’s toss each other around the mat for a while but they are all playing for the same team.
And the Libtard Media is the blind referee in the wrestling match.
What was he worried about? Nobody heard the interview anyway.
Hey, Alex. We’re ALL sorry that “the young lady’s name” is mentioned — you because you don’t want us reminded of Clinton’s indiscretion in the White House, and us, because we wish that Clinton, at the very least, had enough self-control NOT TO COMMIT an indiscretion in the White House and lie about it.
Doofus! Rand Paul wasn’t trying to tie Bill to Hillary. His point was about the so called âwar on womenâ and how the lecher in chief, Bill Clinton, is loved by the Democrat party in spite of his actions towards women.
...(and a hell of a lot better looking women)
Someday the truth about Vince Foster will emerge.
And Hillary Clinton will be the center of it.
It was the partisan media shills who drummed up the Monica Lewinsky beat in the first place, in order to avoid covering the fact that Clinton, his wife, and the rest of their outlaw gang committed crimes against all of us.
Thanks mandaladon.
That idiot Larry King, who sat at his CNN desk for all of Bill Clinton's term didn't even know who she was.
Disagree. Juanita Broderick is the real story. HC was involved in the clean-up afterwards.
