I heard an interesting take on this from Kirsten Powers (former Clinton staffer) on this Lewinsky matter that made me think. She got demonized, publicly humiliated, and destroyed as a result of her part in the affair, and Clinton is a well-respected international leader. Not much justice for a woman caught up in a sex scandal with a married man is there.

That's how political spin works.  Whoever gets the most believers wins.

I don't feel sorry for Monica Lewinsky. She was an adult, the act was consensual, and she was probably the aggressor. She is the one who kept the dress with the stain on it (how weird is that?).

I also don't feel bad for Bill Clinton either. He was married and knew he was being watched, but has so little self control that he deserved the impeachment for lying.
Power is nothing till you use it.

This sort of sums up my feelings on Lewinsky:



And I have insensitively joked about this too.
