Only because 50 years of study has shown me what a reprehensible party the pub party is.Racist, mean and the rich peoples weapon to bludgeon the rest of us.


koan, comfortable ensconced in his "liberal" echo chamber, will never read this because he puts anyone on ignore that is able to crack his precious emotional bubble of lies. I wonder if we would still have the same faith in the D Party if Monica was his daughter?

Monica Lewinsky says that she was disinvited from an annual event after former President Clinton confirmed his attendance at the Town & Country 2018 Philanthropy Summit held on Wednesday.

Clinton attended the summit to introduce Parkland shooting survivor Emma Gonzalez.

Lewinskly tweeted late Wednesday morning "dear world: please don’t invite me to an event (esp one about social change) and ?then after i’ve accepted? uninvite me because bill clinton then decided to attend/was invited.
it’s 2018."

— Monica Lewinsky (@MonicaLewinsky) May 9, 2018 One wonders what Town & Country's original plan was in the event that both Clinton and Lewinsky accepted their invitations, but we're fairly certain someone's out of a job next year.

Following the Lewinsky disinvite, President Clinton said through a spokesman that he did not know about the incident.

President Clinton was invited to address the Town & Country Philanthropy Summit. He gladly accepted. Neither he nor his staff knew anything about the invitation or it being rescinded. t.co

Lewinsky, who famously had an affair with Clinton when he was in office, has seen her profile and reputation rise along with the current M e Too moment. Many have acknowledged the sexist way she was villainized by the press and many politicians in the ’90s. She was sent into exile for years, as she’s written, while Clinton’s reputation as an elder statesman only grew.

The move by Town & Country struck many as exactly the wrong thing to do ? particularly at a time when women are finally being heard when it comes to issues of sexual harassment. -Huffington Post

Reactions have been, as expected...

1. Monica Lewinsky becomes more awesome every day
2. Almost everything that was used to dismiss her in the 1990s (her status as an intern, the power of her male boss) has since become a serious issue at the forefront of debate (exploitation of young, precarious workers; #MeToo)
