Monica Lewinsky: The price of shame [View all]

I vividly remember the way this young woman was vilified. The only public defending voice I remember hearing was Bill Handel on KFI radio, a local LA station. (The Lewinskys were from Beverly Hills.) During this time, according to the talk below, Lewinsky's mother was sitting by her bedside every night and wouldn't let her shower with the door closed for fear her daughter would commit suicide.

This is a powerful talk. She's nervous, but she is the exact person to speak out about this issue.

It's shameful what Bill n Hill did to that young woman. Glad Monica's recovered from the abusive tactics the sexist Clintons unleashed on her. InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2015 #1
I have no sympathy for poor little Monica. She had a plan when she went to DC. She worked the plan. Vincardog Mar 2015 #2
