Monica Lewinsky did nothing wrong unlimited blue dresses on the Clinton household
This but unironically. She was sexually assaulted by her insanely powerful boss who should be rotting in the clink instead of standing at the podium
As a kid in the '90s, I had absorbed all of the jokes about Monica. As I grew up I didn't really examine it or think about it.
Now, as I'm hitting middle-age, I look back on that time. All of the tasteless jokes, all of the anger towards this woman, and I feel nothing but burning hatred for the Clinton media machine.
Yes she was an adult, but she is a victim. Not just of sexual assault, not just of the kind of workplace sexual harassment that would make Bill O'Reilly say "woah dude, calm down" - but of a media machine that will happily throw any of us into the wood chipper in order to protect their access to powerful people.
Linda Tripp can still burn in hell though.
