Monica Lewinsky's objective?


Innocent view -

Monica is 40 years old, but having trouble finding her place in the world.

Keeps rehashing what happened to her.


Jaded view -

With Hillary thought to be running - Monica's "supporters" want her to be front and center in the conversation so people will think Hillary - Bill - Monica.
Think they can use it against Hillary even though Hillary should look like a martyr for staying with Bill.

She'd be married to some guy with a motheaten aristocratic pedigree by now.

doing a piece on her tonight. What stood out is one of the writers referring to her new anti-cyberbullying initiative as a "full blown" operation.

http://thechristmassleigh.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc? is her store.

Yelp found her recently.

ETS: I don't like the woman (the nicest thing I can say), but I also think the trolling from a major newspaper was uncalled for. She's been operating the store for 10 years now, according to wiki.

With apologies to Warren and Sanders supporters, the GOP's nightmare is a Clinton candidacy. SOMEONE is behind Monica's resurgence - 90% sure. Bookmark this thread. I mean, she's saying she was the first victim of cyber bullying so what does she do? She lets herself get set up for it again.

Without getting into my feelings on Hillary (signature probably gives it away), I tend to think perhaps she is just tired of the years of abuse. Assuming Hillary runs and wins she's looking at 10 more years of being beaten in the public spotlight. Of all the people to be in similar situations, she's the one person who can't get out of it. Other people fizzle out or see their 15 minutes of fame dry up. Not her. I don't know how I would handle the situation. Maybe she's right in putting herself out there now. Maybe she's wrong. I don't think it's some conspiracy.

And there are folks out there who will give her a platform and microphone because Hillary wants to run for President.
