    1. Check the seat! It might have some . . .

      Ah, Hell. She has it on her dress. What does she care if it’s on the car seat?

      That poor woman. Look, I get it. She could have said ‘No.’ But who really ever said ‘No’ to Bill Clinton? And rather than call this what it was, the ultimate abuse of sexual harassment in the workplace, it was crazy how much the media demonized her because it was politically expedient.

      That woman’s life was ruined because she was young and had a moment of weakness.

    3. I was in my senior year in college when this happened and her brother was a freshman at the same school. The Pittsburgh media staked him out on campus until the President of the University had the campus police remove them.

      Paparazzi is such a weird industry. 

      We all hate them, but we still eat up clickbait headlines and celebrity scandals. 

      It makes sense that a scandal with Clinton would attract national attention, but Monica shouldn’t have been kept in the limelight over this situation. 

      I’d like to think this era of paparazzi is long dead, but I still see videos of minor celebrities flocked by paparazzi. I’m not sure why reddit still stays so invested in celebrity drama after all these years.

      The 22yo making reckless choices is normal behaviour.

      The married POTUSA sexually harassing an intern and lying about it, is NOT normal behaviour.

    6. I remember the “good Christians” of the ‘90s saying that Bill Clinton tarnished the presidency and didn’t deserve the office because of his affair, but fast forward a couple of decades and they’re all worshiping an adulterous conman and giving him all the power of an emperor.

    7. Any guy who had thoughts about dating her would realize he was getting Slick Willy’s sloppy seconds.

      She missed a marketing opportunity of a lifetime!

    9. First time in my life in heard a President lie. Of course there had been ones before him and after but this was the first I heard live.

      Hee podcast is great. She did a great discussion on how all of this impacted her life.

      I miss the days when a president getting a blowjob was the most scandalous and inconceivable thing that happened in politics.
