Poll: Do you support the attempts to slut-shame Monica Lewinsky

[MADem]

37. Who's "slut shaming?" I think that term's an asine one and I don't think that's what's happening.

A few individuals may be calling Monica's names, but a few individuals are also calling Bill Clinton (to say nothing of Hillary) names as well. There's no orchestrated attempt to make this about "Monica." Beyond, of course, the fact that Monica came out and gave the interview to Vanity Fair. Clever Vanity Fair--they are friendly to the Democratic cause, and they're getting this out--and done--early. Good for them.

The right wing would LOVE to make it about Hillary, though. They'd love Monica to be the Invisible Woman on the debate stage; they want her to haunt any attempts by HRC's campaign to use Bill Clinton as a fundraiser/GOTV-er.

Two people misbehaved--they didn't maintain professional decorum in an office atmosphere.

One was senior in the work relationship, and married, and bore the most responsibility for the misconduct. The other also behaved inappropriately in the workplace by deliberately seeking out the relationship.

Two stupid people made a large mistake that cost the American people forty four million dollars because the Republicans wanted to politicize it.

That's what the bottom line is, here.

It's not about "sluts." It's about poor judgment. Trying to make it about "sluts" is a major fail and no one buys it anymore, at least if they have even a toe in this century. The idea of bringing up Monica in a "negative" way isn't about "shaming" her--it's to to throw dirt on Hillary.

So long as we have to drag it up, though, best to do it now, rather than next year! Get it all out there (again), make it old news (again), and turn the whole event into an "asked and answered" (again, again, and again) exercise.

Guess it's time to MOVE ON from all that....!

Yet AGAIN....
