Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton Story
In May 1995 Monica Lewinsky graduated with a degree in psychology from
Lewis and Clark College. She went off to Washington, just like Mr. Smith,
but she joined the White House staff as an unpaid intern in the office of
chief of staff Leon Panetta. She was on her way, up the ladder to stardom,
with a little help from the adulterous, lying American President, Bill Clinton.

Trying to laugh about
a lying, adulterous womanizing President's sexual perversion
In May 1995 Monica Lewinsky graduated with a degree in psychology from Lewis and
Clark College. She went off to Washington, just like Mr. Smith, but she joined
the White House staff as an unpaid intern in the office of chief of staff Leon
Panetta. A few months later, in November 1995 the unpaid Lewinsky, wearing a
fetching dress, met Clinton at a Washington party. A month later (December
1995) She had a paying job in the White House Office of Legislative Affairs.
From an unemployed college student to a paid White House staffer in just 5
months. At around this time, she began her alleged blow jobs of Clinton.
Clinton decided he no longer needed her services in April 1996. But the Great
Kind Hearted One made sure she got another paying job in the Pentagon with
spokesman Kenneth Bacon. A year later, in phone calls with her
friend and Pentagon co-worker Linda Tripp, Lewinsky says she has had a sexual
relationship with the President. A few months later she leaves government
service and signs a sworn affidavit provided for the Paula Jones sexual-
harassment suit against Clinton, that she ever had a sexual relationship with
the President, despite Tripp's tape recordings saying she did give "The Creep"
oral sex. She also said "Old Man" Clinton had a strict rule: oral sex only. "At
my age," she says he told her, "you can't take the risk of intercourse."
Lewinsky jokes that if she ever got to leave her job at the Pentagon and return
to the White House, she would be made "Special Assistant to the President for
blow jobs."
Either Lewinsky was lying when she swore under oath that she had never had a
sexual relationship with the President, or she was lying through the hours of
conversations she had with her friend Linda Tripp. There were tape
confirmations, Secret Service logs showing late-night visits when Hillary was
out of town, presents sent by courier, a dark dress saved as a souvenir,
spattered with the President's DNA. If this proves true Bill Clinton lacks the
moral character to be President. He is a better role model for cats in heat
than America's students.
The President as a lecher has occurred before. John F. Kennedy was another
president with little respect for women, his religion or his wife. Even the
best Democratic psychologists will have trouble explaining to children that the
President might be a liar and a serial philanderer. Clinton looked the American
public in the eye and said that, yes, the American people had a right to hear
an answer about whether he had seduced an employee, but , he wasn't ready to
give it just yet. The President's legal team--Charles Ruff, David Kendall, Bob
Bennett-- do not want Clinton to talk, period.
By this time everyone has learned that a Clinton denial must be decoded. The man
who once said he had "never broken the laws of my country" when answering
questions about his marijuana inhaling (he was at Oxford at the time), and who
claimed to have "caused pain in my marriage" to avoid having to use the singular
or plural when discussing his love affairs, now faces an audience no longer
naive about presidential double-talk. Thus when Clinton sat down with Jim Lehrer
one Wednesday afternoon in 1998 and repeated, in heavily lawyered cadences, that
"I didn't ask anybody not to tell the truth," reporters pounced on the use of
the double negative as another linguistic trapdoor. Try as it would, the White
House could not seem to manage a believable denial throughout 1998.
Bill Clinton had previously lied to Americans. Choosing his words carefully,
Bill -- while running for president -- denied he had had a "12-year affair" with
Jennifer Flowers; Hillary's expression of faith in him was far more persuasive
than his answers; and Clinton went on to victory. To those who wondered why she
didn't walk away then, and hasn't since, a close Clinton friend for two decades
replies: "They do not have the kind of marriage you and I have." Hillary feeds
off presidential power, and will stick with Bill as long as she can bask in his
glory.
Some senior women on the President's staff noticed Bill's perverted sexual
appetite. A former White House aide told TIME that on several occasions late in
1995 and early 1996, attractive young women were transferred to the outer
reaches of government because Clinton kept dropping by unannounced to flirt with
them. When Clinton "got too chatty with somebody,"
explained the former aide, "a couple of the older, more senior women on
the staff would see that these women got moved." That's what happened
to Monica Lewinsky. She arrived in Washington in the summer of 1995, the
daughter of a Beverly Hills cancer doctor and a sometime Hollywood gossip
writer. Lewinsky had just graduated as a psychology major from Lewis and Clark
College in Oregon and had come to the White House to seek her fortune filing,
photocopying, answering the phones and -- apparently -- sleeping (or slurping)
her way to the top.
Pretty interns would often see the President's schedule a day ahead of time and
were told to keep their distance. "We were briefed a number of times about
what to do if the President is going to be in the building, (to) Follow protocol
(and) Get out of the way." Could it really be that the Halls of Government
have become single sex dorms, with someone shouting
"Man on the floor -- Man on the floor." A
plum assignment was anything that required a blue pass for the West Wing, which
allowed an intern to roam the West Wing more or less at will. Betty Currie, one
of the President's private secretaries, was "an untouchable," off limits for
networking, and any unsolicited conversation at all from interns.
But Monica was not just any intern. The portrait painted of her, by the tapes
and the tabloids, was of a rather sexually aggressive young woman with a habit
of walking into bosses' offices with coffee they did not ask for. She told her
friend Tripp that she met the President at a party that November, where she
appeared in a revealing dress and caught the President's eye. Soon after, they
began their relationship, she claimed, around the time she was hired as a
regular White House staff member, working in the East Wing office of the
legislative affairs shop, blue pass around her neck.
But by the following April, she was out of the White House, moved to a job at
the Pentagon in spokesman Kenneth Bacon's Office of Public Affairs. As fate
would have it, however, Bacon's office was the wrong landing pad for a young
woman who loved to gossip. Sitting not far away was Linda Tripp, another former
White House aide, who had joined the Bush Administration as a secretary and
later ran afoul of the Clinton team. Though Tripp was earnest and efficient,
with good instincts and a gift for prose, few White House staff members had good
things to say about her last week. "She was awful," says one former official who
worked with her in the White House counsel's office. "She was surly; she was
sullen; she had a chip on her shoulder and a nasty look on her face." She
routinely fought with the other assistants. "We thought she was a Bushie," says
one official, "but the real problem is that no one liked her. She was difficult,
contentious; the other secretaries just hated her."
In former FBI agent Gary Aldrich's book he alleged that sex toys dangled from
the White House Christmas tree, another indication of this anti-Christ
President. Arkansas state troopers also went public with stories of Clinton
womanizing, as well as a woman named Dolly Kyle Browning who has been trying to
sell an account of her own alleged affair with the President.
Tripp's conversations with Lewinsky--some taped, some just recalled--tell a
steamy story of sex and power, pressure and confusion. The women spoke all the
time, in the Pentagon corridors, over coffee, when they met after work for a
drink or drove home together. Lewinsky spoke of at least a dozen sexual
encounters with Clinton, perhaps as many as 20. She claimed she would go to the
White House, usually in the late afternoon or evenings, and be cleared in by
Currie. When Lewinsky and the President couldn't rendezvous in person, they
allegedly did it on the phone. The phone sex picked up in frequency as her
invitations to see Clinton tapered off after the Willey story broke last August.
Lewinsky's account alternates from puppy love for the man she refers to as
"handsome" to sorrow that she didn't get to see him as much as she wanted, to
eventual bitterness at "the Creep" who let her be banished to the Pentagon.
Talking to Tripp, she referred to his intrusive staff as "the protectors" and to
ex-girlfriends in the White House as "graduates." At times the very amount of
detail strains credulity. In one exchange, Lewinsky laments that when she tried
to get into the White House one night to visit the President, the guard turned
her away, saying another woman had got there first.
There is throughout the account the sweet-and-sour scent of a high school
romance. Lewinsky talked of presents they exchanged: he gave her a dress and a
volume of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass; she gave him ties and a statue of a
frog (an old Clinton obsession), along with love letters and a sexually explicit
tape; the packages were addressed to Currie and delivered by private courier.
Lewinsky also brought at least three micro cassettes from her home message
machine and played them for Tripp at the Pentagon. The President can be heard
saying hello, but leaving no lengthy messages and certainly nothing
incriminating. But in her conversations with Tripp, Lewinsky referred to the
President's legal coaching: when she expressed fears about records of her
comings and goings and what Currie might say one day in a sworn deposition,
Clinton supposedly replied, "There's no proof. Look them in the eye and deny
it."
Even more damaging are the conversations that occurred after Lewinsky was
subpoenaed by Paula Jones' lawyers in December. She said Clinton told her to see
his friend Vernon Jordan, and he'd help her out. She met him in his Dupont
Circle office, and she presented Jordan a list of public relations firms she'd
like to work for. The next time they met he picked her up at the Pentagon to go
meet a lawyer and draft her affidavit. "Take your anger and frustration with the
President and vent them on me," he told her at the time, adding that perjury in
a civil case is rarely prosecuted. Jordan confirmed last week that he had indeed
helped her find a lawyer and guided her toward several job possibilities in the
private sector, at American Express or at Revlon, where he serves as a director.
In his statement explaining how one of the most powerful men in Washington came
to be job hunting for a 24-year-old secretary, Jordan maintained that he helped
Lewinsky because he himself stood "on the shoulders of many individuals who have
helped me" and that "to whom much is given much is required." He also said that
in their conversations Lewinsky had adamantly denied having an affair with the
President, which begs the question of how that subject came up in the first
place.
By last month the corridor conversations between Tripp and Lewinsky had gone
from girl talk to a deadly serious question about whether to lie under oath
about the behavior of the President of the United States. Lewinsky apparently
told Tripp she intended to deny the affair in her deposition and urged Tripp to
do the same. Lewinsky warned Tripp that if she testified about the affair while
Lewinsky and Clinton continued to stand fast, she would be isolated and
vulnerable and her job would be in jeopardy. Excerpts of a small portion of the
tapes, released by Newsweek, quote Lewinsky discussing whether to lie about her
relationship with the President. "I would lie on the stand for my family," she
says. "That is how I was raised... I have lied my entire life." She adds, "I
will deny it so he will not get screwed in the case, but I'm going to get
screwed personally." She also discusses Tripp's faking a foot accident to delay
the deposition, and quotes her mother as saying the idea is "'brilliant.'"
In a sworn affidavit on Jan. 7, Lewinsky reportedly denied having a sexual
relationship with Clinton. But Tripp meanwhile was pursuing a very different
strategy. Lawyer Kirby Behre, retained by the White House to prepare her for
congressional committees and grand jury investigations into Travelgate and Vince
Foster's suicide, did not seem to Tripp terribly interested. So she decided it
was time for a more aggressive defender. She brought her tapes to James Moody, a
solo practitioner who specializes in fighting regulations, whom she had met
during the Bush Administration. Moody had little faith in Janet Reno's Justice
Department and agreed with Tripp that they should turn the tapes over to Starr.
For Starr, whose investigation had been going heaven only knows where for four
years, Tripp was a gift from God. They met on Monday, Jan. 12, and Moody was
stunned by the speed of Starr's response. The next day, Tripp was outfitted with
a body wire so they could tape her meeting with Lewinsky at the Ritz-Carlton in
Pentagon City. Once again Lewinsky discussed her plans to cover up the affair,
and her hopes that Jordan would help her land a good job.
