(21,916 posts)Ms. Lewinsky made some very poor choices when she was much younger. I have very little doubt she would make that same observation.
Nonetheless, she's tried very hard to improve her life and move forward. That she can poke fun at herself shows not only a sense of humor but also a sense of self-awareness. These are impressive qualities, especially in our time.
You know, President Clinton has always been a puzzle to me. I voted for him in both his presidential elections but he had some issues that I just didn't agree with. To the point at hand, it was he who should have shut down the "relationship" with Ms. Lewinsky. Not only should he have had better morals but he should have been a grown up man. Instead he acted like a frat boy on Saturday night. He was better than the Republican alternatives, of course, but he could have been better still.

(7,977 posts)Who, among those who have no ulterior motives, would NOT dry clean a dress that was similarly soiled. No. The woman, by her own lack of hygiene and decency, helped the republicans put the country through a totally partisan impeachment, for fooling around, by the way, with a PERSON WHO WAS MARRIED. That will always ALWAYS always end up not so well for SOME member of the triangular relationship.
Clinton, for his part, flew too many times for my comfort in Jeffrey Epstein's airplane, and had too much contact with him. Clinton was a whore dog, who helped turn the democratic party into the DLC, or republican lite party. He did not reinstate the Fairness Doctrine when fox propaganda tv was on the rise, and the entire media was being consolidated into right wing propaganda.
He did some good, and ran a remarkable economy. He's an inspirational speaker. But I personally know his benefactors. They run the democratic party in a couple of states, and they are NOT people who believe in democratic principles; they ARE REPUBLICANs except for their voter registration. There is a good reason that Hillary worked for right wing republican senator Barry Goldwater. That is very much in keeping with the Clinton's ideology.
BTW, even their chief benefactors, on a personal basis, like Hillary more than Bill.
