Monica Lewinsky now and then is a relevant assessment amid reports confirming Ms. Lewinsky 'tell all' article about her fling with former President Bill Clinton in Vanity Fair magazine.
The Lewinsky post in Vanity Fair has brought out mixed commentary about the revelation that she is 'burying the blue dress' referring to a dress worn by her and used as evidence against President Clinton.
Monica Lewinsky should shut up and go away said an article by Andreya Pyser, which was in line with conservative news media asking the question, "We have buried the blue dress. Why is it (resurrecting) now?"
Pyser continued to say, "She's America's favorite beret-wearing former intern, whose very name has become a synonym for a sex act she eagerly performed on her knees, a dame who rocketed to fame for failing to dry-clean a blue dress stained with the seed of the then-leader of the free world."
Ms. Lewinsky reiterates that the sexual relationship was consensual but "my boss took advantage of me," an excerpt from the Vanity Fair article said. The digital form of the post will be released on Thursday May 15.
Basically, Lewinsky has blamed just about every angle for the White House 'hanky panky' and the ensuing 'you're caught red-handed in the Oval Office' verdict including "the Clinton administration, the special prosecutor's minions, the political operatives on both sides of the aisle and the media.''
Ultimately, in a convoluted way, Ms. Lewinsky is saying that she was scapegoat by all of the above entities. However, she is firm on the stand that everything between the President and her was 'consensual.'
Fox News reported Lewinsky as saying, ""Sure, my boss took advantage of me, but I will always remain firm on this point: it was a consensual relationship. Any 'abuse' came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position."
She added that "nothing could be further from the truth," when media inferred that she had been paid off to be quite about the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Hillary Clinton, who stands to lose from the publicized 'Lewinsky revelations' about her husband and his intern, is a frontrunner for the presidential race in 2016, making her a credible candidate for America's first woman presidency.
Lewinsky will also be the focus of a political comeback from the 90s, 17 years after the Monica Lewinsky scandal emerged. Now 40, the question still intrigues the media about her return from obscurity in 2014. A much talked about 4-hour documentary with the former Washington intern was aired on PBS on Feb.20, where Lewinsky will take the spotlight once again.
