In reply to the discussion: Monica Lewinsky says she's grateful to younger generations for helping shift the perception of her story... [View all]valleyrogue
(2,340 posts)5. She was a groupie. She took after her mother.
Gene Lyons and Joe Conason wrote all about it, but if you were alive then or old enough then and followed the sham "impeachment" of Bill Clinton, you would know she was anything but an angel.
"Presidential knee pads." Sure, she was a victim. Sure.
She was a woman who found herself dumped in favor of his wife and daughter, you know, somebody with family values, after he slipped up during the government shutdown over Medicare funding. But Lewinsky always wanted to be famous, so she has ridden this dubious fame for over 30 years ever since she opened her mouth to Linda Tripp. She is in her fifties now and STILL hasn't moved on.

If I recall she made it her mission to have her "encounter" with Bill Clinton.

I find it hilarious the way people still go to bat for Bill Clinton's personal reputation, myself.
