Monica Lewinsky, erstwhile Clinton paramour who hates the publicity surrounding the affair but somehow continues to give interviews to the media on the subject, has joined the growing chorus of those finding significant fault with the ex-president's new book. In interviews she gave for ITV and the London Daily Mail, Lewinsky called Clinton "a liar and a creep" because of the way she says he mischaracterized his reasons for entering the relationship.
I'll leave them to duke that one out. What's more interesting to me is the fact that Lewinsky is still treating herself as a victim, as if she was not responsible for the consequences of her choices.
Speaking of Clinton, she complained to ITV: "He has a daughter that is only six years younger than me. How would he feel if this happened to her?" Ms. Lewinsky, this affair, and the resulting media storm, did not "happen" to you. You play with fire, you get burned.
"I can understand that he wanted to save the presidency," she allowed to the Daily Mail. "But I don't accept he had to completely desecrate my character." Again, Ms. Lewinsky, your character was "desecrated" the moment you decided to flirt with the president or to accept his advances (whichever it was). I'm not sure that you're going to find much sympathy on this one.
