Yeah, “innocent” Monica and her jar full of condoms…

I'm not so sure that Clinton remains an embarrassment as the strategy is to obfuscate Hillary's weakest points and put her opponents on the defensive. By distorting the truth, Hillary's opponents have to scramble to reply. And when the opponents actually tell the truth, all the public sees is the same old “He said/she said” political game going on. It turns people off and Hillary is betting that it will minimize Obama's message of positive change (since he has to set the record straight which takes his focus off his own strategy). Personally I think it's a great strategy for Hillary, but I want to get beyond these games Billary is playing. This just supports the case that much more for Obama if you want a different tone in DC.

As far as Monica- I think we should leave her out of this- she's a bright girl (went on to LSE). She didn't cause Clinton's embarrassment. If Clinton didn't have a skirt-chaser problem, the world would be very different. Monica was just a doe-eyed intern taken in by Bill's charisma and flattery. I feel sorry for her- especially the way society has different standards for sex for men and women. It seems that people can forgive Bill- the President, the most powerful man on Earth (at the time), married with a daughter, whereas Monica, a young and single intern, has not been forgiven yet and is still seen as a tramp,

I'll remind everyone that it was the Republican Linda Tripp who started all this. When asked why she wanted to see Clinton fall, she said she wanted to see some dignity restored to the White House. Well we got Bush.
