Christine: The video confirms Willey's story about her first meeting Clinton in '92 at the airport where, as she related on 60 Minutes, Clinton sent someone over to ask her for her phone # and later called her to ask her to bring him chicken soup. The video shows Clinton arriving at the airport and greeting well-wishers and hugging an enthusiastic Willey who was among the crowd. He then walks over to the limo, turns around looking back at Willey and can be plainly seen in the closeup asking his male escort who she is. His escort says Willey, Kathy Willey.

Willey was not asking for an ambassadorship when she went to the WH on the day she was groped...she was asking for a paying job because she and her husband were in financial straits. She mentioned the ambassadorship in a letter sent later to the prez.

It seems obvious to me that the letters the WH is flailing about shows a desperate Willey trying to brown nose the prez into helping her get a good job. Hasn't anyone here compromised their values and their pride to do what's best for their family/themselves? I've faced similar situations where I despised my boss or other influential person(s) I was trying to do business with and said things meant to win their favor instead of blowing them off (poor choice of words) and burning my bridges. Haven't most of those reading this done something similar?

If Willey was doing this for money she could have easily done so by going to the Star or Enquirer and selling her story as have others. She had an even better case for bringing a harassment suit against the prez than Jones, not to mention her being far more credible and believable, but she has not done so and probably won't.

Remember...Willey had said earlier that she felt Jones was telling the truth when she read Jones' account of her encounter where Jones said Clinton's face turned beet red. Willey recounted how Clinton's face had turned beet red as well when he groped her. How could the two have made up the same idiosyncrasy? Also remember there being a story of Clinton groping a former Miss America in the back of his limo? She is a regular on the 'Highlander' series and is avoiding subpoena by staying in Europe. She doesn't deny Clinton groped her...she wants to avoid the media and WH ridicule that these other women are having to endure.

Is it any wonder why more women don't come forward? Could one reason why the WH is so ferociously attacking these women be to send a message to those who might be thinking about coming forward too? That they will have to endure the same ridicule and scrutiny? Don't you think women will think twice about coming forward especially after the Sgt. McKinney decision? One of these women, of six that came forward, are now being sued for libel. Their careers are probably ruined.

Just some thoughts for consideration.
