Hillary Clinton has been an incredible advocate for women and girls.

Hillary Clinton never committed adultery. She never let the American people down when she was First Lady. She has every right to defend herself as a woman, a mother and a wife. She has not victimized women involved in an affair with her spouse. She defended herself.

Monica Lewinsky stated to Barbara Walters she initiated the interest in Bill when she flipped her dress up in the White House during her working day. Basically, she showed her ass in a thong.

What?

After the Lewinsky interview Barbara Walters was on a talk show and she was asked how she felt about the flirtatious Monica. Barbara Walters in referring to the thong stated, "Where it as a hat."

Barbara Walters (click here) revisited her famous interview with Monica Lewinsky, telling Dave Letterman on Thursday night that she still keeps in touch with Lewinsky.
The ABC newswoman dropped by "The Late Show," where she and Letterman talked about some of her biggest interviews. Walters lamented that the world hasn't allowed Lewinsky to move on. When asked if she has spoken to her recently, Walters said "in touch with her" from time to time.
"I think she has an OK life," she said. "I think it’s still difficult for her. Since this is my last year in television, I would love to be able to talk to Monica again."...

I think Barbara Walters makes an interesting point in that we all should be concerned with the women that have gone to Washington, DC as young women, had affairs and their life took a very different trajectory then the ladies had hoped.

Hillary Clinton has no responsibility with women that entered into consensual affairs with her spouse. Ms. Flowers carried on with a love affair for twelve years. That is not rape. Twelve years of rape? Really? What I remember is that Jennifer benefited financial in advancing her career during those years. That is not new. Women have used their sexuality to advance in their work, jobs or career.

What was her name? She claimed sexual harassment. We looked at all that and Hillary Clinton had a minor role in that examination of the facts. Hillary Clinton did not commit sexual harassment. I don't get it. And no one needs to state her name. If I forgot her name that is a good thing. She needs to get on with her life.

If a major newspaper is seeking leverage over a great woman because they can somehow benefit form that, even politically, they haven't got a case. I said it before, assigning a woman blame for an affair when she is a victim of her spouse, is misogyny. Hillary Clinton was as much a victim as the women in the affairs. She suffered as well.

I don't know how a newspaper defines victimization, but, women in marriages find themselves wounded by their spouse's affair and need as much support as any other woman in the triangle. The attacks on Hillary Clinton are simply a continued victimization. It is not appropriate. She was a mother to Chelsea in her relationship with Bill. There is a lot here that pressures women when facing their spouses wandering. Hillary was a victim of adultery. That is not easy.

This is still early in the morning and I need my coffee.

When divorces result from affairs, the judge doesn't ask how the other woman is doing. Get out of my life with this.

Maureen Dowd can write a book called, "All the President's Women," but, it better be comprehensive. I heard George Washington slept around a lot.

Hillary Clinton is a great women and carries a lot on her conscience all the time. She carries in her capacity generations of women hoping she is the first woman in the White House's Oval Office. There are reasons for that. Hillary Clinton is allowed to be ambitious.

She and the other woman  involved with Bill really should not have to answer past this for issues settled decades ago. Women's status have changed in those decades and Hillary Clinton has a part in that change. There isn't going to be much that is going to taint her character.

Jennifer Flowers has had a very big struggle to recuperate from her use by American politics. If the New York Times wants to run Hillary Clinton off as they did Elliot Spitzer, they aren't going to have an easy path. There is no there, there.

Monica Lewinsky was young at the age of 19. I do believe her when she states she fell in love. She has taken on the world, but, the world somehow never forgave her. This is a little bit of rough handling, but, at least Monica is alive.

I think the American press needs a good seminar on women and relationships, including women caught in the meat grinder called adultery. For some reason when a former wife does well in her divorce she is a witch. There is a lot that still hangs in the air that has to be worked through from the time of Women's Suffrage. I mean that completely.
