I Dated Monica Lewinsky
Behind the tawdriest of headlines, there's a woman I wouldn't mind bringing home to mom.

Monica was/is like a lot of young women inside the Beltway, only more so: young, ambitious, and looking—looking for something bitter and sour and salty. The night I went out with her, I thought of her as uncomplicated. To my disappointment, Monica was not the least bit sleazy.

Monica was/is like a lot of young women inside the Beltway, only more so: young, ambitious, and looking—looking for something bitter and sour and salty. The night I went out with her, I thought of her as uncomplicated. To my disappointment, Monica was not the least bit sleazy. Maybe she made a bit more of a fashion statement than most, but nothing that you couldn't take home, drug, and fuck silly. Newsweek actually reported that, when Monica was a college student, some real estate agent noticed that she had a very large condom and French tickler collection by her bed. It gets worse. If you read between the lines of Clinton's love liquor stains, there is a subtext that she is just so much well-financed white trash who was looking to get her lips firmly onto schlong. It's there, in the countless references to the deep cut of Monica's dresses and the ample cleavage they revealed.
Gigantic smile framed by thick, chocolate-colored hair tumbling out of her beret, she seems very much in the moment, enjoying the cock snot of the most powerful man on the globe. Who among us wouldn't smile and hug ourselves if the president turned his eye our way? I know my ass is still sore.
Go to the Hill—watch interns blow the most innocuous, long-irrelevant Member. I'm sure third-tier cable-news anchors are afforded more hum jobs far surpassing anything possible in a just universe. There is something supremely validating about proximity to power, and when that proximity morphs into face cream —the seduction is a fait accompli. Isn't Monica just the ultimate expression of what D.C. is all about?
