Look, I know how we feel about Monica. What we do nit want to do is get caught the "on the one hand dance" aka "whataboutism."

Monica sought out Bill for sex and celebrity? YES
Did Bill use his power to try to cover up the fact he was getting sex? YES

But There are two crimes for which both of them need to be criticized for.

Monica, you comparing yourself to YOUNG CHILDREN, who were dropped of on an island, put in dungeons, tortured, raped, and if the alleged is true, literally hunted for sport ad eaten show what an utter pig you are! You have made a load of money off that cigar, and literally changed the course of history for the worse. NOW you want to extend your 15 minutes of fame to a half hour!?

Now Bill, I do not know what you did with Epstein. Let's have Aladdin's lamp and poof, say you DID NOT HAVE SEX with any of the young ladies Epstein provided. The fact is, people knew he was a creep, who had a lot of young ladies presented in sex manner not seen since ethe days of the playboy mansion. Hell, even Hugh knew what barely legal meant, and he also had a lot off cameras in his mansion. It is one thing for an innocent rube to walk into that sort of trap, but not someone who got burned by a simple phone call the nearly cost you your neck, oh, and hurt your wife badly.

So, how do we avoid whataboutism? Simply this, by acknowledging that both facts lead to a greater truth, that America will suffer until we stop rewarding appetites of the rich and those who desperately want to be rich. Both M and B have been pilloried, and we do not want to become the society that burns people at the stake just because they are deplorable. Judge not lest ye be judged. WE can say that when they do very public penance, we can reject their deposit in the church till.

1. You didn't actually read the article, right?

Her writing was sensitive and nuanced. Yours just gratuitously hateful and offensive. Blocked now.

2. I don't care what she has to say. She keeps capitalizing on her dubious notoriety.

She needed to shut up and withdraw from public life years ago and actually do something constructive with her life.
