In regard to Monica...

To begin with I don't really read the Wall Street Journal anymore and I won't today. It has become a right wing propaganda rag.

But, that said, I didn't noticed Hillary was in bed with Monica and Bill, right? You know I would not be surprised if Hillary was upset and angry enough to say something off color about Monica and let's face it the walk across the White House lawn to a waiting helicopter with Chelsea between them was fairly obvious as to what Bill was getting behind closed doors. Some people do believe in marriage vows and they are married something like 38 years. Those thirty-eight years speaks to the strength of the marriage and Bill's need for attention is his problem.

Monica? The only reason Monica was badly abused was because it she chose the President of the USA. But, get real. Ambitious women line the halls of government. The other most popular affair in recent history was Garry Condit and that unfortunate fate of another beautiful woman.

Monica is a bright woman and if her life is burdened because of bad judgement while interning with the President of the United States then it is up to her to change the path of her future. She has been trying, but, the wolves continue to gnaw at her success. I think running a campaign against cyber-bullying is a good path, but, she also needs an endorsement by another woman who can elevate that ambition beyond the reputation of 23 years old. I am quite confident there is a woman concerned about this topic who can join her in turning the corner on this.

But, women that are ambitious have their own ideas about their romantic side. I suppose many people still carry a grudge about the then 23 year old woman, but, I don't. I felt badly her from the beginning. Linda Tripp is the scoundrel that insisted the USA be given information that Monica did not want to leak out. Monica had an affair and she sincerely loved the man she focused her attention. Why should a 23 year old be dragged through the mud and ruin her career for the sake of politics. If anyone is responsible for Monica's reputation, even today, it was Linda Tripp.

Monica made a horrible choice and she has been harassed by media and the political right wing ever since. She has talent. The country may be missing a vital link in it's political sphere due to it's vicious need for gossip and attacks that should aspire to reducing Hillary to being nobody. There is no way in the world Hillary Clinton is nobody. 

When the political right wing, such as this nonsense by the WSJ, comes out of the closet it is completely obvious there is a war on women . The political right wing has no room to speak, their history is very colorful for the affairs and sexual antics of their members. But, this men are always forgiven. In fact then, the attacks against Mrs. Clinton are political ambitions themselves.

That said, Hillary is an incredible person. She came from a political family and she hit the ground running. She has done her family proud and it is my guess that won't stop. She is a great mother and no doubt a superb grandmother. She loves children and some of her earliest ambitions was the Children's Defense League, yes? Her ambitions to change the course of children in the world has not wavered when looking at her time as Secretary of State. In nearly every country she visited she spoke the words that "Women's rights are human rights and human rights are women's rights." So, her profound dedication to elevating women and children spans her entire life and that has been the case from her earliest professional years. Given those facts, Hillary is quite honestly desperately needed in the White House because women still lack important status in the USA.

If the right wing continues these vicious personal attacks against Monica Lewinsky it will become more and more evident the DOUBLE STANDARD is a political party plank.

See, it isn't okay for Monica to have made a mistake and seek forgiveness for it publicly so she can find a purpose in her life. But. It is okay for David Vitter to pay for sex and get away with it. Or the last House member, I think he is called the Kissing Congressman. It is perfectly fine that Republican men can have their cake and eat it to, but, not Democratic men or a former 23 year old intern.

To Monica, I wish her well. I sincerely hope she finds a footing that will propel her career that was destroyed so long ago. Best to her always. I think Hillary is more than adept to take care of herself and doesn't need my permission to finish the career she started.
