I watched it yesterday and it is sad to see what a 22 year old who fell for the wrong guy and had to deal with the scrutiny no woman deserves.

Even though this 22 year old made an error, she wasn't the married person and she wasn't the President.

The President was the one lying and this woman was totally ignored and run over.

Hillary dug the hole even deeper and I have to say that I had many laughs in Europe when they showed the entire soap going on in the US but never at the time realized about the person Monica Lewinski and right now I'm a bit ashamed of how we laughed about it.

I'm even more disgusted with Bill & Hillary than ever before. The Clintons have a daughter and what if Monica was their child!

Sorry Monica...even though you made an error, you never deserved everything you had to deal with!

Neither of them gave any thought as to how all of this would affect Chelsea.

They both should bear some responsibility. Monica Lewinsky does deserve some for her part. Not as much as many want to dole out, but some nonetheless. My ruling is this. If you aren't married, you shouldn't sleep with a married person. Former President Clinton deserved criticism for cheating on his wife. Monica knew better, she knew he was married. For that reason, she is also responsible. It takes two. She was not married, but she knew the President was married.

As a former White House intern, Monica was dazzled by the limelight and impressed by the power of the man who held the office of president. Clinton could not control his carnal urges (not an excuse under any circumstances), but Monica was certainly not an innocent young woman at the time. There is no shortage of culpability to go around concerning their actions.

But not the amount of punishment she got while Bill got away like a hero and Hillary blaming the women!

The women race card she is using is despicable and will come around to bite her in her ....

That pretty much sums it up. She came to Washington with the intention of "earning her presidential kneepads" so she's certainly not an innocent victim. To this day, I don't think the woman gets it as far as why she's so notorious.

I feel so bad for her. This one (or few?) blowie completely changed the course of her life. Can you imagine being in intense media spot light every day for many, many months (and many years after) for fellating Bill? Ken Starr's report outlining step-by-step what transpired in the Oval Office. I would just die. No, not from embarrassment, but from pleasuring Bill in such fashion.

How can she have a normal relationship? You go out with someone for a while, but then inevitably they want you to put on a blue Gap dress and put in a Cuban not named Marco or Rafael Edward. Game over.

I had forgotten about Monica saying that. But I didn't forget that Bill was not the first married man she went after. The other was a professor, I believe. That being said, she was still very young when he went after Bill and young people makes huge mistakes but most of us are not defined by them for the rest of our lives. She's paid a higher price than she deserved. It's time for people to give her a break, especially the Republicans who want to use and abuse her now to get at Hillary. It's a tactic that isn't going to work anyway, especially coming from serial cheater Trump.

Her life was ruined. I hope the sex was good, at least.

Monica just wanted a taste of what it would be like to be President.
