So Monica Lewinsky is cashing in

214. Sure, Jan.

You’re engaging in doublespeak. Between your acknowledgment that the affair was consensual (which you really can’t argue otherwise), you scoff at the notion of Monica bearing any degree of accountability and liken her to women who had unwanted advances made toward them at work by their boss. It’s rather transparent, I must say.

And she is most certainly entitled to monetize the legacy of the scandal however she sees fit. She just loses all credibility when she still moans about being defined by the affair, because she obviously doesn’t mind that as long as it’s only on her terms. Especially when she attempts to disingenuously insert herself into the MeToo narrative while making or retweeting blowjob jokes.

demonstrating the falsity of your claim that she wasn't held responsible over Clinton).

Once again, you’re putting words in my mouth. I never claimed she suffered no fallout from the affair being made a public matter. You’re willfully taking my comments out of context now. I respect (but still wholeheartedly disagree) with your perspective, however I do not respect your dishonest misrepresentation of my argument. Your continued insistence on doing so makes it hard for me to respect you on this matter, because you prove yourself incapable of rebutting against the actual points that were made, so you resort to creating strawmen. Which is a testament to how tenuous your side of the argument is.

As for your moralizing, I hope your contempt for women who have affairs is visited upon men who have done the same.

Yeah, you could’ve figured that one out if you took the time to actually read my post instead of reacting emotionally, you’d see I came out the gate placing the brunt of the blame on Clinton.

There is no liability for having an affair. It's a personal and family transgression, not a legal one.

Cool, so you agree that portraying Monica as the little red riding hood to big bad wolf Bill is a mendacious reframing of the story, correct?

I'm going to assume that you've never so much as lusted in your heart, given your determination of those who have had affairs, meaning the great majority of the population, as "liable," including Democratic heroes such as FDR, RFK, and JFK.

Oh please, save it. “You've never so much as lusted in your heart”, now lusting is tantamount to actually acting on those desires even in the most inappropriate of contexts? The faux sanctimony seems entirely personal on your behalf on this point. Were you ever a third party to an extramarital affair? If so, it certainly explains your stance on this.

I don’t make heroes out of politicians or people in general, so whatever “gotcha” moment you were attempting to cultivate here isn’t happening, sorry. Adultery is trashy, equally for both sexes, sorry if that bothers you too. Doubly so when you’re willing to jeopardize an almighty job title for it (especially when you’re far too old to behave like an impulsive, idiotic teenager), and ditto for when you want to evade accountability by framing yourself as a victim when it suits you. No sexist double standards over here... unlike some people in this thread.
