Nothing has advanced the cause of speaking up for women quite like Hillary leaving the scene, at least as a power player rather than just as an annoying fly on the potato salad at the picnic that won't go away. In no way can I envision these two-faced clowns speaking out like this if Hillary had won and was sitting in the White House. I could be wrong- but then again I might be uncomfortably right too. Similarly, the media and Hollywood would not have felt free (safe?) to turn on Harvey Weinstein if she were in power. And add another fifty names to that list. I admit I only watched a bit of that interview but I heard the part about them condemning Bubba for not apologizing to Monica. Did they get to the part later where they condemned Hillary for not apologizing to Monica for dismissing her as a "narcissistic loony tune" character as she called her while dismissing her?
Just to state the obvious - there are far too few controls on what the President can do. If Congress had anyone with balls they would be reining in Trump. Congress should decide if the US goes to war. Not a dick head.
I wonder what Bill and Hillary said when they apologized directly and sincerely to Monica, versus a White House damage control session for public consumption. Maybe Monica has spoken on that.
Evidence of the looming Lewinsky-Clinton controversy appeared once again in the pages of The Wall Street Journal last week, where Abbey Ellin filed a column titled “The Clintons Owe Monica an Apology.” The controversy heated up four days later when Brian Kent of Tulsa, Oklahoma, published a letter in The Journal’s correspondence section under the headline “If Bill Apologizes to Monica, It Should Be a Private Act.” I suspect this is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. In the fantasy world of the American left — once known as the fantasy world of liberalism — Monica is now a literary sensation who writes in Vanity Fair and, who knows, perhaps, even in The Paris Review, assuming there is still a Paris Review. In VF she recently wrote that upon prolonged consideration of her famous affair with the former president a quarter of a century ago he committed a “gross abuse of power,” even if he was madly in love with her. Actually members of the #MeToo movement probably are in agreement with most Americans that Bill was indeed “gross” with his 22-year-old intern back in their White House days. At least, the incident with the cigar was pretty gross. However, members of the movement like other leftists remain conflicted on the Monica and Bill relationship. After all, for them along with the Black Lives Matter movement and the LGBT movement, and all the other diverse movements and occasional la Cosa Nostras that compose the left, Bill has emerged from his affair as heroic. In fact, he has emerged from Monica, and impeachment, and various acts of malfeasance and pilfering, as a modern day Abraham Lincoln likeness for the left. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/mar/13/metoo-the-hillary-and-monica-edition/ Doubtless out in its capital city, Hollywood, California, Bill’s former supporters, for instance, the retired tycoon Harvey Weinstein, are even now gathering support for a Clinton Monument to be raised right across from the original Lincoln Monument, and they even plan a gift shop and, I have heard, a penthouse for sleepovers? SPONSORED CONTENT Recommended by Yes, there is conflict dividing the left no matter how strenuously the Mainstream Media purr. Such leading movements as the #MeToo movement must feel torn by the Monica-Clinton conflict. With both sides dominated by strong women such as Monica’s mother and Hillary, things on the left cannot be as hunky-dory as CNN reports. There are powerful centrifugal forces at work. Consider the Monica-Clinton divide. Hillary’s forces called her a “tramp” and a “bimbo,” despite her literary talents. She was known by the president’s defenders as “that woman” when she was actually an innocent damsel. Hillary is even reliably reported as calling her “a narcissistic Looney Tune.” On the other hand, there is the matter of her “thong” with which she is said to have inflamed the 49-year-old president. His passions were perfectly understandable according to such women as Gloria Steinem and the talented Time correspondent Nina Burleigh. Monica’s (the wave of the future)?” Could Monica forsake her literary career to go into politics, perhaps running for the Senate from New York or possibly California? She lays claim to both nutty states. And having Monica out there blabbing about Bill’s “gross abuse of power” cannot help Hillary’s presidential prospects in 2020. Nor can Joe Biden’s energetic presence on the campaign trail now that he has a new Botox application and fresh hair implants. Actually, Hillary is faced already with stiff competition for the nomination what with the youthful Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, though Elizabeth is going to have to come up with a better answer to her “no-show” for that DNA challenge. How about trying this, Pocahontas: “I was only kidding.” Then there is the question of Bill’s sticking it out with Hillary in what I guarantee will be the fraught years ahead. Americans have a way of forgetting minor hiccups on the campaign trail. Think of Donald Trump’s “Access Hollywood” tapes or more recently his so-called membership in a book club with the pulchritudinous porn star, Stormy Daniels. But Hillary has real problems in her future. Recall her errant emails that are going to be coming to the fore again; those are felonies. Or consider her payments to Christopher Steele, again potential felonies. This is not Eric Holder or Loretta Lynch’s Justice Department. At his age and with his weak heart, how much stress can Bill Clinton take? I would not be surprised for him to take a powder and get back together with Monica. They made such a cute couple. • R.

Who would have known that a women who consensually sleeps with married men would be a hero to christian conservatives.I'm guess you guys will be calling for Trump to apologize to Stormy
