In reply to the discussion: Chuck Todd: 'It Galls Me' Bill Clinton Hasn't Apologized to Monica Lewinsky for 'Ruining Her Life' [View all]Civic Justice

First she knew he was married, and she descended upon her own knees, and from the photo's where she was front and center at his speaking engagements, she was quite pleased with the access she had to give and do what she wanted to give and do.
