    I mean, she's writing about it in Vanity Fair, begging for attention - not really FOX trolling. CNN and MSNBC have got lead stories regarding her on their site right now too.

    Yeah, it wasn't just FOX covering this today. All three networks jumped right on it. I swear the people at CNN practically had an orgasm at once more covering the Lewinsky scandal.

    Are Republicans really that afraid of Hillary? Boehner is forming a Benghzai panel and now Monica is back? If these didn't bring her down before, I fail to see how they will now. Meanwhile, no one takes poor Joe seriously.

    I'm going to give Monica the benefit of the doubt when she writes that she decided to share her story in Vanity Fair as a way to help others through humilating situations (she says she was motivated to do it by the Tyler Clemente suicide). It's been 16 years. If her intent was to derail Hilary she had a chance to resurface in 2008.

    I think Republicans are "afraid" of former Sec of State Clinton in the same way that Democrats were "afraid" of Gov Christie. She's the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination so of course they're going to try and take her down with whatever scandal they can assign to her. Just like Democrats beat the "bridge-gate" drum for as long as they possibly could. That's politics.

    That said, in both cases, just because there is politics driving the "desire for truth" doesn't mean there isn't an issue worth investigating.

    Monica Lewinsky chose to write for Vanity Fair. That alone is why she is in the news.

    "Tomorrow, President Obama is going to do interviews with meteorologists all across the country about a new climate change report...I hope they ask him about Benghazi!" — Fox News host Dana Perino

    How long until they find some way to connect Benghazi and Monica Lewinski?

    Nah, most of the media is already using Monica to speculate about how her reappearance is going to affect Hilary's 2016 chances.

    So McCrory finally addresses the issue of teacher pay in NC. Question is: will it satisfy teachers or make things even worse? What do you think, anakinfansince1983?

    Better that than on, say, the South Lawn of the White House.


    I wonder if Bill will really make a public apology to Monica. That would be something to see. Bill Clinton will be the best first lady ever.

    It will be carefully crafted to make Hillary look like the greatest wife ever. And it will work. She will be freed from this mess for all time, and it will help the GOP stay focus on a different losing issue: Benghazi.

    maybe he could bite her face on live television, ferociously and repeatedly. that would garner her plenty of sympathy, perhaps even from tea party types too!

    The answer to your question is "neither" as I see it.

    McCrory is definitely more supportive of teachers than the General Assembly has been, or at least is giving lip service as such, and that's a good thing. But the proposed pay scale will have beginning teachers making more money than teachers with more than ten years experience, and that's causing some resentment. Plus the issue of losing career status in 2018 is still on a lot of people's minds.

    WTF? I fail to see how she drew a line between Tyler Clemente killing himself and her putting herself back in the limelight. That seems some pretty tortured logic there.

    Someone that killed himself, apparently. After working for Bill Clinton? Otherwise I don't see a very direct connection either.
