Oh...I believe she wanted to damage him, that's for sure. After reading that report I realized she was not some naive innocent 21 year old that was taken advantage of. She was quite the little conniver. And, in fact, had her sights set on him probably from her first day in the WH. I am not defending him by any means but there are many men I think (who don't have half the sexual needs he obvioiusly does) that might just think twice when an attractive, young woman flirts with him and goes so far as to "pull up her jacket to show him the top of her thong panties'. (Though I had to read this more than once because I kept thinking this didn't make any sense since women usually wear these under a skirt....not under their jacket<g>), It was sheer stupidity to tell all her friends about their liaisons and I can maybe write that off to maturity. But if you were supposedly in love with someone who just happened to be Pres. of U.S. would you write it all down? What reason would you have for ever thinking you would ever need to recall the exact dates, times and who he was talking to on the phone at the time. Unless you thought you might need it later. Didn't her dress get stained AFTER he had ended things with her. Guess this was just a way of being sure to have more evidence against him. If she thought he was such a creep why not throw the dress away or at least get it dry cleaned. Sorry but I just have a real problem with this woman. I actually pissed me off that he apologized to her. She didn't deserve an apology. It's funny but when I first heard about all this I felt sorry for her...figured she was a poor innocent naive 21 year old. He was the older married man....giving her a line about how his wife doesn't understand him, etc.etc. But then to find out they had 6 sexual encounters before they ever had a real conversation. Well, sorry but that says a lot about her..... I'm sure that most of what she said is true. But could some of it be exaggerated. Wouldn't put it past her at all. All I can say is if it were me and I supposedly cared for someone and didn't want to hurt them I don't think I would have found it necessary to mention the cigar, that's for sure. I mean it isn't like she was asked the question..."So, Monica, at any time during any of your "meetings" with the President was a cigar used in any unusual way?"
