Monica Lewinsky gets $12 mil. for new book
http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/201..._her_.html
Supposedly this book will at least get more into the dirty details. Which separates it from her first book which didn't reveal too much. To me the most interesting thing about this story is the fact that she's nearly 40 already. I don't blame her for wanting more money - Clinton ruined her life and he didn't suffer too much from it.

Kind of old news. But if she can ramp up the sex details and ride the coattails of 50 Shades of Grey, she might as well go for it.

Yeah, Republicans and their "war on women" have got nothing on the one-man wrecking crew that was Billy Boy Clinton.

I don't blame her for wanting money either, but her life wasn't ruined. Think of Donna Rice.

How much did she get for the dress?
And she's the one who had sex with a man she knew was married. In my eyes that makes her scum.

She's still pissed that the Clinton Slime Machine made her out to be a mentally unstable slut during the Spring of 1998.

It's amazing to think back and see that the 1st and 3rd men in the nation at the time were Clinton and Newt. It was a man's world back then.

And things were far better than they are today. So a couple of sleaze bags did a better job running the country than what we've had since.

It could be argued that they set up many of the problems we face today.
Don't get me wrong, I was happy to see welfare reform, and perhaps there were a few other things. But, call it neglect or sins of omission, many things weren't addressed which later ballooned.

Don't disagree,although we probably disagree somewhat about the particulars. Bill and Newt were in a position where they could have established an Ike-Rayburn-LBJ type of relationship and run the country, and Newt would have been president 2001-09 and Hillary 2009-now and we'd be in far better shape. But political jealousy and pettiness ruled the day instead.

1. That's what you get when you have "sleaze bags" (Owl's term) "running the country." When you replace stable, ethical people like Eisenhower and Rayburn with unstable, unethical people like Clinton and Gingrich, then of course the result will be detached and dysfunctional.
2. Most sleaze bags (Gingrich and LBJ are good examples of this) have sufficient maturity, or at least social awareness, to understand that there is a time and a place to give in to their appetites. But Clinton lacked even that, thus compounding the problem.
3. I have to admit, even after all these years, it still amazes me that so many Americans were unable (unwilling?) to understand this.
