Monica

Confession: I have always been on Monica Lewinsky's side.  I hated to see her roasted and ridiculed in the press. 


Who hasn't done really dumb or risky things when they were 21?  Or confided in the wrong person?  Here's a young woman, who, while attractive, may have had weight or boyfriend issues. She's now face-to-face (or hip-to-hip) with the Most influential people in the Most important center of power in the world.  She starts to feel a little powerful herself.  She probably thinks that these are the memories she will treasure when she is very old.  She envisions herself as Marilyn Monroe to Clinton's JFK.  I also believe she had no intention of spilling the beans voluntarily.

The President on the other hand was (duh) the frigging PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!  Plenty old enough to know better.  Theoretically wise enough to make smart decisions for the entire country if not the whole world.  I blame him and only him for ruining this young person's life.
