Monica Lewinsky was referred to as a “narcissistic loony toon.” Those are words of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The sometimes Chicago Cubs, sometimes New York Yankees fan and former First Lady saw some of her past conversations made public today by one of her closest friends. Some friend huh?
An archive of correspondence, diary entries, memos and notes from conversations kept by one of her “BFFs” were leaked to the media.
And in this package contains the remark of Clinton referring to Monica Lewinsky by that pejorative. Apparently, Hillary thought of Monica has a bit of a Fatal Attraction stalker type, and that William Jefferson Clinton actually tried to get away from her. So now I guess you can see why Hillary stood by Bill during and after the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
And I know what you’re saying, to quote Kent Brockman, the fictional newsman on The Simpsons, “this barely qualifies as news.” Yet Monica Lewinsky is trending on the internet today, and many of the networks are leading with this Monica Lewinsky story.
