This page kinda sucks. It doesn't even give the time period when she was an intern in the white house. Basic facts about the story are missing. I'm a democrat looking for information on this and its no fun to see only part of the truth on ANY page of wikipedia. SystemBuilder 03:17, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
"Lewinsky currently studies an MSc in Social Philosophy at the London School of Economics.
[edit] Other Information
- Lewinsky is currently studying social psychology at the London School of Economics. "
What is she studying? Where? --Gbleem 18:19, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Lewinsky as slang for oral sex?
This article claims that the word lewinsky is now slang for oral sex? Do enough people use the word in this way to justify including this?
I think most everybody knows that a "lewinsky" is a blowjob. I first heard it on TV.
Actually, at the time it was "a Clinton." Heard it from travellers coming from South America and Europe. Kind of passe, and definitely not Wikipedia material.
I am born in South Africa and now live in Europe and we believe judging other person (Clinton) on his person life is not anyone business. We should see our face in the mirror first before doing that.
- Thank you for the lecture Mr South Africa, but you should check your facts before drawing judgment on other countries. The reason this issue became public at all is because Clinton decided to commit perjury about Lewinsky during a deposition--which is a legal court proceeding. The issue would not have become so complicated and prolonged had he simply told the truth during the deposition. The vast majority of Americans were opposed to the actions of Ken Starr, and Clinton continued to receive a favorable approval rating from the American public through the end of his presidency, despite the Lewinsky affair.

[edit] Lewinsky-Tripp Lawsuit
Why isn't there any information about the Lewinsky-Tripp lawsuit?
[edit] Settlement Amount
I have heard from a not-so-informed friend that Monica Lewinsky obtained $43,000,000 from the civil lawsuit against William J. Clinton? Was my friend inventing facts or is this correct? Can someone explain the pecuniary relief and if she and her lawyers obtained any money, what would the legal basis for it have been? He did not harass or rape her; it was consensual.

- Your friend is out to lunch on this one. There was no suit between Clinton and Lewinsky. There was one between Clinton and Paula Jones, which was later settled for $850,000. Lewinisky was on the witness list for the Jones case. My thinking is that your friend got confused. - Thanks, Hoshie |

[edit] Article
It seems this article has to do more with Clinton than it does with Monica...
I just found it kind of funny that she talks as if they were dating and she got dumped. She blew a married dude and he lied about it so he wouldn't get busted. She sounds like she still has the hots for him.
-
- Apparently, she claims that he made a number of expressions of his affection to her. That is the basis for her claim that it was a "two-way relationship." She claimed to have been very hurt upon reading his version, in which he described their relationship as meaning alot less to him than he led her to believe. I think that rings much more true than your version. When it comes to women, Bill Clinton is a resounding user and cad. I think that has been demonstrated repeatedly.
If anyone has relationship outside marriage. Everyone has right to hide that after all it’s his private life and we are no judge. See yourself in the mirror and answer honestly what you would have done. So i think we also should relax and stop invading private life of others.
- A reminder: This talk page is for discussing the content of the article, not the rightness or wrongness of Clinton's actions and the impeachment trial. Heimstern Läufer 23:25, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] deletion of probably false claim
I took out the raunchier than usual claim because it has appeared nowhere but in this article. If the person who added it can prove it is in the Start report, that will be news to everyone. Skywriter 21:59, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sources for allegations
Shouldn't there be sources for claims such as monica having more than a passing interest in married faculty while in school?
-tamman2000 07/07/2006
Also, are there sources for the idea that people called it Monicagate? I know the -gate thing has been beaten past death, but did any credible sources apply it to this scandal? --BDD 03:33, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] No impeachment
I removed a part of the article that claimed Clinton was impeached because, of course, he wasn't. There was an impeachment trial but he wasn't impeached.Lobot72 02:36, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Impeachment does not mean removal from office. If you go through the "impeachment trial" and remain in office you have still been impeached. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment --Ryan Wise 07:30, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Impeachment means: Innocent till proven guilty. And Clinton was never proven guilty. --Wrong! back to civics for somebody.
Um, if you're going to throw around condescending remarks about "civics", maybe you should check the Wikipedia definition first: Impeachment is "the first of two stages in a specific process for a legislative body to remove a government official without that official's agreement. The second stage is called conviction." It is analogous to an indictment in a criminal trial. Clinton was unquestionably impeached by the House. He was not convicted by the Senate, and therefore, not removed from office.
[edit] Woman?
"Monica Samille Lewinsky (born July 23, 1973 in San Francisco) is an American woman"
doesn't she have a profession or so? just declaring her most notable categorization to be "woman" doesn't seem fair to me.--Wiesengrund 14:15, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- According to the bio, she is currently a student, so we could use that occupation if you prefer. -Will Beback 18:06, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Call me crazy, but her not being male doesn't leave many options does it?--80.199.157.114 17:59, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scandal
I would like to see someone add info about alleged mistreatment to Monica Lewinsky by authorities immediately after the scandal broke out.
[edit] Photo of Clintion removed
we don't need Clinton photo on Monica Lewinsky wiki. This photo is appropriate on Monica Lewinsky scandal wiki. This is Monica Lewinsky wiki not Clinton wiki. I have removed it / Hopefloate
[edit] job hunting
Link[1]
LONDON - Monica Lewinsky is looking for work in London after getting her master's degree.
"She's job hunting," Lewinsky's publicist Barbara Hutson said Tuesday.
Asked how long Lewinsky planned to stay in Britain, Hutson replied: "Awhile."
The 33-year-old Lewinsky, the woman at the center of the scandal that nearly toppled former President Clinton, graduated from the London School of Economics last month.
Hutson refused to go into further detail or to specify in which discipline Lewinsky had earned her degree.
"She's not doing any press," Hutson said. --Geokaii 02:52, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wrong Redirect
What's this? I was looking for the Starr Report a and was automatically redirected to Monica Lewinsky?????
I wanted info on the congressional spending, not a redirect to someones extramarital affairs! is this common US practice????
What for???
[edit] Vandalism
I've noticed repeated vandalism of this article while looking at its history (in fact, I reverted some of it myself). Something needs to be done, likely some form of protection.

[edit] Neutrality
the article says "who had an affair with President Clinton." it was never proven that an affair actually took place. I am going to change this.
this article was written unprofessionally. I advise that the article is rewritten using proper and respectful language.
- But didn't Clinton admit himself to having a sexual affair with her?Hoponpop69 07:16, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- I am a Clinton admirer but don't see any way it can be denied that Lewinsky and Clinton had an "affair". Cbreitel 22:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sex symbol
I don't think it's true that she became a Sex Symbol. Unless older generation of politicians defined it ;) --Tigga en 23:19, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
