In reply to the discussion: OK let's get one thing straight about this Monica Lewinsky Crap. [View all]Jimvanhise
(592 posts)24. Monica Lewinsky
Um, I really don't get her complaints. The only reason anyone ever found out about what she was doing was because she not only blabbed about it to her friends, she BRAGGED about it. One friend of hers at the time claimed that she referred to herself as "The President's cocksucker." She's the one who made it a story, one which blew up in her face. There's even an episode of Law & Order from the 90s which refers to someone having committed a "Lewinsky". Her father threatened to sue NBC but his anger was aimed in the wrong direction.

Then ignore it. I would prefer the media would talk about Chained CPI and what it really means.

Well said. This Monica crap is diverting attention from other, much more important things.

It's topics like this that remind me how DU skews old, cranky, and frankly more than a tad UPTIGHT.

However, the reaction here and among other Democrats is part of what fuels this

I don't think this is a conspiracy to hurt Hillary Clinton's political fortunes.
