Believe it or not, I just threw her into the end of my post as an example...and in the 24 hours since I wrote this, she has taken off again like a shot. kkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02296326994943617709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-92137546233004991192014-05-07T16:02:56.878-04:002014-05-07T16:02:56.878-04:00He did in the end, but at least he went through he...He did in the end, but at least he went through hell first. Alas, the country, his wife and daughter did too. My two cents...pressures on the modern day president are so great that stress settles into the cracks in the person's psyche and splits it wide open. Well, I guess in general, stress does that.kkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02296326994943617709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-42912017596784593982014-05-07T15:01:33.694-04:002014-05-07T15:01:33.694-04:00He like, so many other presidents, was just positi...He like, so many other presidents, was just positive he could get away with it--and in he did, didn't he?

She was so young--and just imagine her feelings when she thought that the President of the USA loved her! Of course he didn't, he just used her. He should've been the one humiliated, not her.Marilyn Meredith a.k.a. F. M.

The news today is really full of the Lewinsky article to come so it will be interesting (and probably sad) to see how this scandal continues to play out. kkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02296326994943617709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-79261590991541594572014-05-07T09:29:24.089-04:002014-05-07T09:29:24.089-04:00Hi Kay, Thank you for writing about this topic. Yo...Hi Kay, Thank you for writing about this topic. You're right about the men escaping nearly unscathed while the women end up publicly humiliated. I keep thinking about the Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake incident at the Super bowl half time show. She has practically disappeared and he is enjoying his success. Both of them are talented but after the incident the public did not support her and her career suffered. Anjalinoreply@blogger.com
