I Thought Linda Tripp Was The Person Who Exploited Monica

I don't call that an affair.
Maybe I'm thinking mistresses are courted.
I don't call that sex.
If that were sex, we wouldn't need any birth control at all.
What does Rand Paul mean, "It's hard to separate the two of them."
Why, at this point, would anyone want to do that? A new scandal? Separating Bill Clinton
from his wife would not put her any closer or any farther away from what her husband did.
If she had had a vote, he would have avoided all behaviors toward Monica Lewinsky which
weren't President/intern related interactions.
Rand Paul still doesn't have a good explanation for using his "aqua Buddha" on college girls.
Does he like living in a glass house? President Clinton isn't the only one to have dodged a
morality bullet.
Monica Lewinsky's chief complaint against President Clinton during impeachment was that he talked about his daughter all the time.
I'm sorry. I don't believe Chelsea could have been happy about that fact- but I couldn't see it as anything damnable regarding the President. He felt overwhelmed by his pride in his daughter. Time, place, and company notwithstanding,  I believe the President must have considered Lewinsky a friend
who didn't mind hearing about his life. Where was Lewinsky's father? Was Lewinsky's judgement  a manifestation of her having had a dad problem?
What exactly did Ms. Lewinsky think happens to a young woman who is indiscreet with a world
leader, and then exposed? Should public sensibility offer high praise? Not.
Does a country deserve to lose its President to ensure the emotional good health of a young woman?
The young woman who involved herself with this married had of state was a fully grown woman.
I thought at the time the Republicans were the ones insisting she be "ruined".
Neither she nor the President had a desire to go public.
Linda Tripp was the most insistent person at the time who was pushing for public disclosure of the
Lewinsky affair. Maybe she could look after Monica now.
Do wives feel empowered or motivated to "look after" the women who help triangulate their marriages by aiding and abetting a husband's betrayal? That seems boundary less to me.
The Clintons had carved a path for themselves a long, long time before they met Ms. Lewinsky.
What should Hillary Clinton have done in public regarding the infidelity in her marriage?
Hillary Clinton was already educated, already a mom, already a first lady both in Arkansas and in
the White House. Should she have gone back in time to have an affair with a world leader once she turned 20? Could she then normally identify with Ms. Lewinsky?
Hillary Clinton doesn't have to apologize for being or for becoming, an accomplished non-adulterer government wife...not even,( Are we surprised?) to a woman who has compromised Mrs.Clinton's marriage.
