Monica Lewinsky back in the news

    Sorry to break the string of hard-hitting media outlets, but ... 15-plus years later, I still don't see how this was big news, let alone an impeachable offense.

    Hillary should be held accountable for how she and Bill botched this country's best chance to fix the health-care system, not for how they reacted to the Lewinsky affair.

    Bill Clinton was Mr. Undeniable.

    I love this line from the Ruth Marcus column:

    The Lewinsky affair never really came up in 2008; the subject was too raw and too fraught...

    Too raw and too fraught for whom? Hillary? The media?

    Since when do we avoid raw and/or fraught topics during a campaign?

    I don't know.

    Ask Ruth Marcus.

    I totally disagree with Ruth Marcus.

    It wasn't raw or fraught. It was old and worthless.

    Is she right?

    Let's say that's true.

    But, since then, we've had a Democratic Party who has tried to accuse the Republicans of a "War on Women".

    In this light, it's only fair to examine the Clinton machine's "War on Women" and Hillary's role in it.

    I have no idea.

    I left my full transcript of the 2008 Democratic primary campaign at home today.

    Yes, it's fair.

    And it will be examined.

    I suppose we will see. I won't hold my breath.

    I know you want that to be the case. However, it isnt. War On Women is a matter of the GOP's policies. This is another example, of which there are millions by now, of you wanting the Democrats to change their message to help the GOP. Why do you think that makes any sense?

    If anything Hillary engaged in a War On Woman, the one pleasuring her husband. People get that.

    I wish I had a job that allowed me to post on this message board as much as some of you do, at all hours of the day. Holy fuck.
