Lewinsky Outraged over Kerry 'Affair' Furore

[HowdyDUit]

Monica Lewinsky tonight described her feelings of outrage at the furore that has blown up around a woman accused of having an affair with American presidential hopeful Senator John Kerry.

Alex Polier, 27, a journalism graduate, has denied being involved with Mr Kerry, a 61-year-old married father-of-two, but her private life has still been the focus of intense speculation, something that has angered Ms Lewinsky.

Earlier this week the graduate broke her silence and said: “I have never had a relationship with Senator Kerry, and the rumours in the press are completely false.”

In an interview to be broadcast on the 10.30pm ITV News, Ms Lewinsky said: “I really just felt empathic for the girl, the young woman, and for her family and at the same time I was really outraged because I thought once again we have politics dipping into someone’s personal life and whether it’s true or not, it shouldn’t matter. It should just be left alone.”

1. What furor? Drudge came up with crap, some syncophant

media whores ran with it before checking it, and it is a non issue 3 days later.

[everythingsxen]

2. Not to belittle her point...

Ms Lewinsky said: “I really just felt empathic for the girl,

Isn't that statement completely wrong?

Shouldn't it be "I really felt empathy for..."?

*shrug* Guess that's why she was an intern..

On Edit: Yeah yeah.. a freakin typo

[molly]

3. This is TOO funny - Bush is RAPING this country

and the idiots are talking SEX - concensual SEX?

[mac2]

4. Who cares what Monica L..thinks or says...

She's had her time in the limelight. That little..."dog and pony" whore show to distract us from NAFTA and WTO. We had over a year of hearing about her.

She and RWers distracted the press with sex. Oh yah..like she didn't know it was going to happen to her? Get real..a little spy in the oval office. Get lost Monica.

[HowdyDUit]

5. Monica was not a whore

I truly believe she was in love with Bill Clinton and expressed it. Calling her a whore is unfair and does nothing to diffuse the affair.

I also believe that Bill had honest emotional feeling for her and the whole relationship should have been kept private.

[mac2]

12. You are kidding right?

[HowdyDUit]

15. No, I am not kidding

Monica most likely had love for Bill or she would not have served him so well. I am also sure Bill held some honest attraction for Monica and it could have been love or some other needed feeling.

Calling Monica a whore is not fair and is a cheap shot.

[Skittles]

26. it might be a cheap shot

but giving b.j.s to married men is pretty f***ing cheap.

[HowdyDUit]

28. So Bill had no part in the BJ?

Are you pinning all the blame on Monica? I would think the exchange was mutual. I myself would never entertain a BJ because I am into women and want to marry the one I am with. I'm hoping our democratic candidate allows us to get married.

[Skittles]

32. did I say Bill had "no part in the bj" ???

the fact that so many intelligent men so easily drop their zippers boggles my mind. And when they give me that WE CAN'T HELP OURSELVES, WE'RE MEN schtick I find it absolutely sickening.

[HowdyDUit]

38. Sorry, can't help you out here

I don't "do" men. Never have, never will. Men are ok in my mind but sex with them is not my cup of tea.

[jfxgillis]

36. Listen to him ....

... he's a smart man.

[Carni]

16. No, she was a fat opportunistic slob

That made really bad handbags-

LOVE? Let me have a crack at what you're smoking.

If that twit "loved" him so much then why did she whore herself out on every night time talk show that would have her telling her tale of so called woe?

[HowdyDUit]

18. Monica and Bill were in love and your calling her a fat slob helps nothing

I have no animosity against neither Monica or Bill. Both parties we engaged in their own passion and to try and blame one without the other is dishonest.

[lancdem]

20. Monica thought she was in love with him

but I'm sure she realizes now that wasn't the case. There was nothing good in that relationship. He most certainly was not in love with her.

[HowdyDUit]

23. I think it's up to Bill and Monica to decide how much their love was real

We can't even begin to comment on their affair.

[jfxgillis]

37. Well, now, and you were being so smart 'til now!!!

a. Of course we CAN comment on it, since we are doing so :^{)

b. A very careful reading of the Starr materials allows us to make inferences about the nature of the relationship based on the behaviors exhibited. I've done that. You are correct. There was a genuine and mutual affection irrespective of any sexual actuvity.

[HowdyDUit]

39. I've never been "smart"

I'm human and therefore prone to error and "smart" is not a term I would assign to any human. I prefer to be humble rather than arrogant.

[Carni]

22. I would have no ill will...

Towards Monica if she hadn't plastered herself around the talk show cicuit bilking every bit of attention she could get out of the situation two years after the impeachment, but she pissed me off.

I do apologize however, I usually am more tasteful in my comments than to just call someone a fat slob when I am at loss for anything else to say.

The impeachment matter causes me great pain and it would probably be better if I just didn't comment on it at all.

[dawn]

47. She's not a whore.

Why aren't you calling Bill the whore as well? Oh that's right, it's a woman's fault when a man has an affair.

[alfredo]

57. She ran up some hefty legal bills. She couldn't find work because of the

circus going on around her. What else could she do?

Starr and the others of the Arkansas project wanted to run up her legal bills, a form of harassment. They did the same to Clinton.

[PaDUer]

33. She was/is a homewrecker n/t

[HowdyDUit]

40. And Bill had nothing to do with it?

It takes two to get it on. I doubt Monica is to be blamed for it all.

[PaDUer]

41. Bill wasn't the only married man...

that she's been involved with..Apparently she likes the "father" figure.

[HowdyDUit]

44. So what?

Does Bill control his zipper or not? No way am I going to give Monica all the credit for Bill unloading his desires. It takes two. period.

[PaDUer]

55. You're forgetting something..

Linda Tripp was a leftover and plant, urged her on, then taped her phone calls, then the dress...smells! THEN had the balls to think she should have kept her job..However, she was "kept" by the freepers whenever she'd get on the boobtube and whine..Look at all that tax-free money she'd gotten! Once a puke, always a puke!

[saskatoon]

56. and Bill had nothing to do with it

Weeeel, do you remember "the Thong" and her pulling down her slacks---sheesh! That gal wanted to put a feather in her cap by scrweing a president.

[jfxgillis]

35. Smart man n/t

.

[polpilot]

50. 'Bill had honest emotional feeling for her'??????????????????????????

Maybe a documentary: 'Bill & Monica: True Love'- A documentary of a heart warming true love between two star crossed lovers. Bill's heart breaking confession: "I have not had sex with that woman".

[Mandate My Ass]

6. Her time in the limelight

was extremely involuntary and only happened because she was being taped without her knowledge and permission by a RW shill.

If there was a "dog and pony whore" show it was presented courtesy of the RW conspirators and Scaife operatives who got paid a pretty penny to try and bring down a popular Democratic president.

[flaminbats]

8. Amen brother...

Women are just play-things for a man's enjoyment and sex fantasies, but never mind how they feel!

[Media_Lies_Daily]

30. Come on...what's your problem? Why do you believe...

...she was a "whore"? IMHO, she didn't do anything that remotely resembles that rather reprehensible remark.

If you want to blame someone for the Lewinsky-Clinton affair, blame Clinton first...he should have known better. Then blame all the swarms of NeoCon deputy dogs under Starr's behest that went on a fishing expedition in Clinton's trousers. Then start working on the NeoCon congresspeople that joined in the hunt.

[flaminbats]

46. hmmmm...

so the media doesn't deserve most of the criticism for ruining people's lives?

[Media_Lies_Daily]

52. The sources of the stories found in the media...

...are the most to blame, IMHO.

Because the media is owned by major conservative corporations they are pretty much confined to writing stories that are pre-approved by those corporations. The media is nothing but a tool to be used however the corporations wish.

[peacetalksforall]

7. If she was complicit with Pubs and acted on tape with Linda

to set up Clinton, then she should head to Broadway because it was an excellent act. But, nothing would surprise me if she set him up. She did appear to be stupidly in love.

[shugah]

48. uh-huh, uh-huh

i know that when i was a young woman i always came home from a date, handed a sperm soaked dress to my mother and said, "i'm in love! hang on to this for me!"

i don't generally do tin-foil, but the whole monica thing reeks of the vast right-wing conspiracy of which hilary spoke - and maybe even she didn't realize at the time how vast the conspiracy was.

is bill responsible for his indiscretions? most assuredly! and he has certainly paid the piper, in ways most cheating men never have to. plus, i'm sure that the tender mercies of his wife serve to remind him often of what it means to be a pig of a man. but really, nevermind that. i never cared about the big dogs sex life. in fact, in a general way of speaking, if i had to vote based on virility, i'd tend to prefer a virile man to an asexual one.

but, off of that tangent, and on to another one - why do we have to read a non-US article to read the "i never had a relationship with john kerry" quote?

[librechik]

9. I wish Letterman would shut up about it--it isn't funny

but then neither are all the Clinton jokes he insists on dragging up out of the vault EVERY NIGHT! Doesn't he realize how hilarious Shrubby is? And he's there to ridicule right now, not gone for 3 years.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

14. Letterman does ridicule Bush

Mercilessly some times. It's Leno that is the predominant offender here -still seems unable to come up with any new material except making jokes about Clinton/Dean and whoever else, while at the same time giving Bush and Ah-nuld a free pass

[Dogmudgeon]

17. Let them joke to their hearts' content!

Let them remind us every night that once, we had a president who sometimes pissed us off, but who was optimistic, who liked people, who busted his ass trying to make peace between the god-simple idiots who were hell-bent on killing everybody, and who gave us the eight best economic years this country has ever had.

And just for the record, I always thought Bill had excellent taste in women. And I liked Monica, too.

--bkl
Even a certain PCJ, before the GOP dangled money in front of her and her husband.

[Cooley Hurd]

27. "Bill had excellent taste in women..."

Not always...;)

[Virginian]

42. I never did believe the Paula thing.

I still think she was paid to make a claim. As Carville says "Drag a $100. bill through a trailer park..."

It doesn't sound feasible.

[Dogmudgeon]

51. Yeah, but note the caveat

That picture of Paula was from after she was recruited by the GOP.

She had a long tradition to keep up: the specter of horrifying-looking Republican women.

--bkl

[izzie]

10. Really? then why is she out on TV to make the point?

Has not got enough of her self yet?What crap!!!!I am wondering if she brought her mother. My mother would have hid in shame if I had done such a thing and her mother was loving it all. I was sick of them all along with Clinton.You should have shame for your self when you do things wrong not drag it out for years.

[Just Me]

11. I just do not know.

Oh, I suppose I could speculate that she was young enough to have been romantically engaged with Bill and to have been "used" by Scaife et al,...I guess. But, for her to trot her dress downtown,...that was no act by some gullible innocent.

NO, and I do mean NO gullible innocent romantic young protected woman would have done that!!! There is absolutely no rational human being who can convince me otherwise. I believe it was a setup from start to finish. This isn't a "crime" where I am devout to an "innocence before proven guilty" situation. Besides, what evidence I have accumulated without a trial convinces me that this woman is a member of *LOL* "the dark side" *LOL*.

[mac2]

13. If I were Monica...I would have sued Linda.

Sued Linda and Kenny Boy for ruining my reputation around the world. She didn't do that.

[PaDUer]

34. Tripp was a PLANT n/t

[onehandle]

19. Who cares. This is tabloid crap...

What is Bat Boy up to?

[lancdem]

21. The Scotsman is practically as bad as the Sun

[Gingersnapsback]

24. Another generation would have

tried her for treason. Her distraction from the really serious business of President Clinton, such as the terrorist activity etc. put our country in extreme danger. She went there for fame and she got it anyway she could, using "poor me, a helpless little bimbo" for a cover up.

[HowdyDUit]

25. Sure, whatever...blame the woman for all ills

Bill and Monica are innocent in their own worlds and we have no right to point fingers.

[Catherine Vincent]

29. You should be blaming the Repukes for the distraction.

They were the ones that caused the President to be on the defensive. President Clinton tried doing the work of the American People but those hard up conservative republicans were the ones that focuses all day and night about Bill and Monica. Fucking bastards!

[HowdyDUit]

31. Exactly! What Bill and Monica did is their own business

I have no problem with their exchage and it looks like Hillary was ok with it too since her and Bill still love each other and are still together.

[PaDUer]

43. Yes...

however, the freepers were behind and were pushing to crucify Bill..matter of fact, the stupid freepers still collect money for poor Linda Tripp whenever she gets on a show and starts her crying games. This woman felt her job was secure from pops, and thought she was going to pull one over on Bill...she should've gotten a swift kick in her ass...she was there for one reason only..spy!

[HowdyDUit]

45. I could not care less for Linda

What is Monica doing for money today?

[opihimoimoi]

49. "Everyone does it!!" Pub, speaking about skippin NG duties

I guess even Pubs like BJs but never admit it

[Dr Fate]

54. their "exchange"...

...nice-subtle...

[bobbyboucher]

53. This is flamebait, no doubt.

Why bring up an article from a tabloid about Monica Lewinsky's opinion about a lie. This just keeps the lie in the press longer, as intended, but we shouldn't keep it up here.

I question the motives of the poster. I wish I could say what I really think.

[54anickel]

58. Do a search on the poster. You'll find it interesting.

Racking 'em up pretty fast in 1 day.
