Monica Lewinsky made a poor choice when she had sex with a married man.

151. Her name has bobbed to the surface lately

First, there's that Beyonce song (see my post #148), and the Diane Blair papers that reveal Ms. Blair's recollection of Hillary's comments about ML being a narcissistic loony tune. She has the right to answer both of them.

Let's face it, we all know the reich wing is going to attack Hillary for the next two and a half years on her handling of the affair. If ML wanted to go back and try to live a normal life (if that's even been possible since 1998) she certainly won't be able to for another decade or more, as her name will again be synonymous with what she did so many years ago. Why wouldn't this be the right time to get her own point of view out, especially after a decade and a half of contemplation about all that it's changed her life?

Yes, the reich wing will eat it all up, but even if she locked herself away with Salman Rushdie, Monica Lewinsky's name will get dragged through the mud for the next thirty months. If she wants to be part of the discussion on that subject, I'm not going to be the one who says she should be muzzled.

The mistake(s) that were made by the affair have not been too disastrous for the Clintons, but they have for ML and for the rest of us who had to live with the GWB administration. For all his flaws, Al Gore would have been a better President, and if the affair had not occurred, he just might have had that chance.
