Monica Lewinsky - TED talk

[GPIDEAL]

I wish I could ask those brainless insensitive people calling
Lewinsky ugly this question: "Would you decline a BJ offer
from her?" I for one would unzip in a nanosecond at the
thought of getting head from the gal who is possibly the
only person who ever performed oral sex in the White House
for the world's most powerful person. I was going to feel
like a king.

Supposedly, JFK had SPs and/or GFs or mistresses come over to the WH for sex. I wouldn't doubt if LBJ did either (he was a dog too).

She went to the white house as an intern with the idea being to "earn my presidential kneepads"

She did it so in one sense she deserves a lot of credit


She should have kept her big mouth shut (after the BJ)

She does not have my respect and I doubt she wrote her TED speech

Her TED speech is very professionally written, and I'm not sure if she did either, but she certainly recites it with conviction and poise.

Poor gal should be left alone to do what seems like a positive thing. I think the audience enjoyed it.

If you think about it, she could have cashed in on her notoriety in so many different ways over the years, but chose not to. She could have become a side show failure like Tonya Harding. More power to her for now using that notoriety to effect positive change and to reclaim her identity.

Well said. I agree.

Monica was seen as naive and innocent - those around her like her "friend" Linda Tripp who taped their conversations come off as two-faced and vindictive. The scandal didn't hurt Hillary, she gained sympathy and was respected for choosing to stand by Bill.
The big losers were the American people, they got Dubya and his ineptness because of this overblown (pun intended) scandal.
