and i think that's what happened with lewinsky here.excuse her behavior, but every time she tried to put this behind her, she found herself the butt of jokes or people wanted to put her on display like she was an animal in some kind of a zoo. and it's -- it's offensive and that's why i give her all this credit for writing this piece. >> john, she was like the men are allowed to move on, not defined by a sexual, you know, indiscretion whereas the woman is defined by that. and again, she's -- you know, this has been how many years later. what do you make of her speaking out, john? >> there have been four presidential elections since this happened, that's one way to put it in the political context. the question is will this somehow be part of the conversation in the fifth presidential election should hillary clinton run. i think she makes an important point and writes a remarkably candid piece here and i give her credit for that. i think she's dead right, that all of washington turned on her. the special prosecutor, team clinton and the li

lewinsky's reaction to that? she said i find her impulse to blame the woman, not only me but herself, troubling. the fact remains, a young woman was being manipulated by the most powerful man on the planet. and mrs. clinton's reaction initially was to write her off as a nut case, and of course, blame the vast right wing conspiracy. when rand paul raised the lewinsky saga as perhaps relevant in the examination of the overall clinton record, he was excoreiated by the media and political elite. but i say why? democrats claim to champion women's rights in the work place, for equal pay, against sexual harassment in the military, and recently against date rape on campus, but the instinct here was to duck, cover, and blame the young intern as a narcicisstic loony toon who was obsessed with the president. monica lewinsky was used and she was tossed aside. when she became problematic for the clintons' political ambitions, she was demeaned and discredited by the presidepressn protectors, including hillary herself. war on w

anyway, some republicans are hesitant to reli the lewinsky affair. karl rove has questioned rand paul for beating up on hillary clinton and conservative activist grover norquist, who only wants to talk about taxes, fired this warning shot today, saying, "this is the same trick the clintons pulled on us back in '98. we were distracted by this bright shiny object they handed out, which was monica lewinsky. maybe the same thing this time. like in baseball if they throw out a bad pitch and you swing at it, you're an idiot." is this guy, grover norquist, crazy? he said the clintons had the scandal with monica lewinsky to distract from, what, the tax issue? are the republicans completely lewiny, to put out a piece attacking the marriage they had, building up monica lewinsky with bill, then we had this whole thing somehow the '98 embarrassment of the country, not just the clintons, was orchestrated to distract from what issue? my answer is, i think yes. your answer? >> i'm not sure, but i do know this, if you read the whole article, there's no way this is s

"vanity fair," someone comes to "vanity fair," monica lewinsky comes to "vanity fair" and says i want to write this piece for you. she's the most infamous woman in the world. are they going to say no? of course they're going to say yes. people will be talking about "vanity fair" for the next week, month, year. then you get all these aging pundits who get to roll their wheelchair on to the stage again to talk about it. >> they're like rock stars who want to do the greatest hits? there may be something to that. earlier this week, as people talked about it on fox news and other cable networks, lynne cheney had a theory she floated about "vanity fair's" role in all of this. >> i wonder if this isn't an effort on the clinton's part to get th

monica lewinsky trying to escape the media hordes. now 40 years old, she is finally speaking out about the humiliation telling "vanity fair" it's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress. in excerpts from an article to be released next week, lewinsky defends the affair as being between consenting adults writing, sure my boss took advantage of me, but i will always remain firm on this point. it was a consensual relationship. any abuse came in the aftermath when i was made a scapegoat to protect his powerful position. what has she been doing all these years? after an ad for jenny craig -- >> i've tried every diet in the world. >> reporter: -- and a masters degree from the london school of economics, she says finding a job has been a struggle because of what potential employers so tactfully referred to as my history, she writes, i was never quite right for the position. and she referred to diary entries from hillary clinton's friend diane blair who quoted hillary calling lewinsky a narcissistic loony toon in 1998 but blaming hersel

. >> this sunday, monica lewinsky breaking her silence saying that media along with bill clinton aides and a special prosecutor made her a scapegoat in the impeachment scandal. why is the press still treating her as a laughing stock and clinton is portrayed as a statesman? >> getting and keeping my immunity became important to me and i needed to take care of myself. no one else was worried about me. >> is it time 16 years later for the pundits to cut her some slack? >> will this affect the coverage of hillary clinton? why does the former secretary of state have such hostility toward journalists? we ask james carville. >> and this was a botched benghazi story and the reporter may never return to journalism. is that too harsh? this is "media buzz." i am howard kurtz. >> everyone has something to say about monica, has rekindled the political debate with an essay in "vanity affair," and takes a swipe at hillary clinton. she says no one can escape the gage of the internet where gossip and lies take root and fester. the pundits are partying again like it is 1998. >> she should have had the m

were you sorry for monica lewinsky?dness for her, looking at it partly as a more. everybody else involved in this escapade, scandal, whatever you want to call it, has thrived. bill clinton was impeached and he was humiliated. he is remembered for having had a successful presidency and an extraordinarilily post presidency. hillary clinton, injured party, went on to become senator, secretary of state, she may be president. who is -- i said road kill and i don't mean to take her not seriously, but who is the victim here? monica lewinsky is the road kill of this event and she has not managed to move on from it. hasn't managed to find a job, isn't married. her life is defined by the lewinsky scandal more than anybody else involved in it. >> people asked me over the past couple of days, what did you learn from reading this long essay she wrote in "vanity fair"? i did learn some things including the fact her more for mont months, stayed with her at night because she was afraid she had been so humiliated as a 23, 24, 25-year-ol

lewinsky from the very first day. i believe this is a subject in her private life that she should get on with and i don't want to get into it any longer. it has been fully litigated. judgments have been made by the american people to forgive. that is really all i would like to say. >> lanny, thank you. >>> you remember the house votes to create special benghazi panel. i would write it, benghazi is the new abortion. >>> it is called a prom draft. that is right. high school girls told to wear their best on prom draft day to see if they get picked. all in good fun or objectfying teen girls. >>> you have seen the monica lewinsky article. this was planned and meticulously orchestrated says my next guest. (mother vo) when i was pregnant... i got more advice than i knew what to do with. what i needed was information i could trust on how to take care of me and my baby. luckily, unitedhealthcare has a simple program that helps moms stay on track with their doctors and get the right care and guidance-before and after the baby i

lewinsky wrote the cover story for this month's "vanity fair" titled shame and survivor. it's like pride and prejudice only the hair winn isn't the one without got the happy ending. for those of you born after the lewinsky scandal first, congratulations on getting your learner's permit. second, monica lewinsky is the former white house intern whose affair with bill clinton paralyzed our government as congress attacked the president with a pathological hostility, but he was white so it backfired. now lewinsky's return is great news for republicans because this reminder of the darkest chapter of the clinton legacy comes right before hillary launches her 2016 presidential campaign. now that campaign is over. it's done, take that bathtub out of storage because we're getting president chris christy. >> stephen: it's exactly what hillary wants us to think. because in reality, this is all part of her plan. >> i honestly think this is part of the clinton plan of sort of trying to get this out there now. >> why now? there's a lot of conspiracy theories floating out on the timing o

i was doing the lewinsky and piecemeal stuff. i never got a hint that we were supposed to trim that story one way or another because of that relationship. >> but joe, what should cbs do about that perceived news story? how can they show there was no bias here? >> i don't know what they can do. they can be open about it and also be diligent about covering everything in as balanced a way as possible and obviously not shrink away from critical reportage. the "60 minutes" report we're talking about, the lara logan piece of last year, would not lead you to believe they were trying to hold their powder on this. now, though, it's even more complicated by the fact that they're perceived as having tried to do something that came out to be looking like a political head job on the administration, and on the other hand, they have the brother, and people think they're going to give him too much leeway. so in a way -- in a weird way it's already fair and balanced. >> that's what cbs would say. cbs would say we're getting hit from the left, and

why does monica lewinski seem unable to do that? >> i think that your guests referring to a 25-year-old being a young woman, and it was either was consensual or not consensual. this is a new standard for a young woman, a 25-year-old should have a modest understanding that when a man is married and the president of the united states, perhaps you're heading into some tenuous grounds. >> and that's blaming monica lewinski. >> i'm not blaming her. >> let's take a look at her comments, all right? she said, because she said it was between two consenting adults. sure my boss took advantage of me. but i will always remain firm on this point. it was a consensual relationship. she's never been able to move on with her career because of what employees refer to as my history. i was never quite right for the position. so son sunny -- >> she is in kbland. her own life and she says it is consensual. you are making excuses for her. >> the point not whether or not the contact wag consensual. when you have the disparity of power -- >> agree. >> i com

monica lewinsky back in the spotlight. in a "vanity fair" essay, she says she stayed quiet in hillary clinton's 2008 presidential bid. i wish them no ill will she says. but also adds, should i put my life on hold for another eight to ten years? she's 40 now. images of her as a young intern are seared in our memory, like when she spoke to barbara walters in one of the most watched interviews of all time. >> did you ever think about what hillary clinton might be feeling or would feel if she knew? did you ever think about hillary clinton? >> i did. i think i thought about her a lot. i never thought she would find out. i was never going to talk about this publicly. >> reporter: the timing of lewinsky's return has spawned new conspiracy theories. >> would "vanity fair" publish anything about monica lewinsky that hillary clinton didn't want in "vanity fair "? >> reporter: another situation she hoped was behind her was benghazi. >> what difference, at this point, does it make? >> reporter: house republicans have launched a specia

lewinsky. but she's found her voice and she has plenty to say. in her tell-all essay for the magazine, she wrote, it's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress. the world's most famous intern opening up to "vanity fair" about her affair with president clin done, the scandal and what she calls the global humiliation. now 40, she is determined to have a different ending to her story and hoping to give a purpose to her past. lewinsky says she was inspired to speak out by tyler clemente, the rutgers university student who jumped to his death in 2010. he was humiliating after being caught in a webcam rah kissing another man in his dorm room. lewinsky tells "vanity fair" his story brought her to tears. after her affair, she had strong suicidal temptations. she's hoping to help others in their darkest moments. in her essay, lewinsky dishes on the affair and the ugly aftermath. i, myself, deeply regret what happened between me and president clinton adding it was a conventional relationship, that

a lot of people are asking why monica lewinsky is coming forward now? >> i really wonder if this isn't an effort on the clinton's part to get the story out of the way. would vanity fair publish anything about monica lewinsky didn't want in vanity fair? this happened at a time when hillary is getting wrapped up to run getting it out of the way>> would it be as interesting if they were the 2016 democratic nominee? >> how does it effect hillary clinton? it works in her benefit. two years away so there's time for the monica lewinsky thing to be played out so by the time she does run it becomes a story without much more news left to it. i think that works to her advantage. >> not everyone agrees. listen to this. >> any time monica lewinsky is in the news it does not help either of the clintons. it brings back all sorts of bad memories certainly of the president's bad behavior. >> this is a great story now new court drama in the oscar pistorius trial. he is accused of making a sinister remark to reba steenkamp's close friend during the break to a trial. he re

lewinsky it's 1998 all over again.triol and what proceeds this woman even today is fairly remarkable, she touches this vein in the americans' sort of imagination, almost few have. >> and that's something that even progressives say, how much of that comes from the clinton machine pushing the story line. you had hillary clinton in the '90s calling her a narcissistic looney tune and she said in the "vanity fair" piece was very hurtful. >> then again, she is a woman who had an affair with her husband. exactly. you take reason out of it. emotions, you can't even imagine what kind of emotions are involved there. but i think there is, you know, an element of people watching this saying there was something exploitive there. >> and maureen dowd who said though she's striking another come hither pose in the magazine there's something poi yant for something she did reckless in her 20s. i think that's the closest we're ever going to get to empathy for sympathy from maureen dowd. but it's true. bill clinton is untarnished. his popu

it has to deal with monica lewinsky. tell about her. >> absolutely, wolf. david letterman says he genuinely regrets all the jokes he made about lewinsky during the height of the impeachment scandal. may seem disingenuous since letterman built his career, made his living off that humor. the window on how feelings have changed about lewinsky is telling. monica lewinsky's venture back into the spotlight has made david letterman wistful as he fades from that spotlight. nearing the end of his run as host of the "late show" on cbs, letterman had a reflective chat with barbara walters. they brought up lewinsky's recent essay, how lewinsky wrote she'd had trouble finding employment instead of a letterman punch line. >> i started to feel bad because myself and other people with shows like this made relentless jokes about the poor woman. she was a kid. 21 or 22 or something. i feel bad about my role in helping push the humiliation to the point of suffocation. monok you have to feel sorry a little bit for monica lewinsky. she's a k

that complicates things further. >> monica lewinsky breaking her silence. some say it is a political power play we're seeing. >> violence in venezuela, but police may have gotten more than they bargained for when they tried to scatter protestors. >> bang couch potato has never been so tough, sorting through the endless stream of television content now available object line. what is a remote control guy to do? >> a look at our images of the day. employees of the beverly hills hotel making voices heard at a city council meeting last night. the government of brunei, the action lawmakers want the country to take over the ownership. >> a high security marijuana packaging facility packaging the drug. >> a group of businesses producing no waste from their companies. >> her in famous afar with bill clinton made her a household name. monica lewinsky is speaking out. >> we have followed the developments. we have more now. this is the first time we've heard from monica lewinsky since that affair because in 1998. >> she has decided to pen an article for the next editio

enough to hear lewinsky's entire story. are we? >> i'm not so sure that we are if the comments on the "vanity fair" teaser page are any indication, we're not ready. there are already comments about berets and blue dresses. it goes to show as a culture we have a really long way to go with accepting women who have been considered to transgress in some sexual way. >> if this affair happened today, do you think it would have been the same? >> i think it would have been even worse. the public shaming and humiliation of women online is sort of commonplace these days. we see it almost every day from young women and even young men. i still think it would have been worse. monica says in her "vanity fair" piece she considers herself one of the first women on the internet to be shamed and humiliated in this way. >> you're a feminist and i'll butt this by you. lewinsky seas she feels aband abandoned by the feminist movement, writing some girl on girl support was much in need. you think they would have spoken up but they didn't. why did

lewinsky and i'm staying on my former statement about that.t i did not have sexual relations as defined by that. >> oh my gosh, so devastating to watch that. it was president clinton back in 199 8 being deposed. the president said his peace, ms. lewinsky shared her story and a book and hbo documentary but now she is confessing again. this time to vanity fair and there are growing questions over the timing and motivations behind this piece. joining me now, editor and chief of the daily collar and co-host and friends. i mean, this is all coming up because not because of the news media, but because hillary clinton's friend, the papers were released after her death. >> right. >> in which hillary clinton called monica a narcissist looney tune, she doesn't like that. she's speaking out. we're back in 1998, tucker, talking about blue dresses and berets. why are we doing that? >> that is absolutely the question. lynn cheney said she believes this is an orchestrated effort to get this issue out early. i have no evidence that's true. she said something

his take on monica lewinsky breaking her silence. could washington finally be paying attention to the dangers facing the u.s. power grid? but first, my open. you know, they have to be afraid of something. for democrats to even consider not participating in the select hearings on benghazi, something the dems could easily say happened two years ago, on the other side of the globe that affected just 4 people. a hearing that would overshadow the ongoing obamacare debacle. that affects the pocket book of literally millions of americans today tells me that the democrats have something to hide. now, the democrats could if there were indeed nothing to benghazi trumpet, we will you there is nothing there. hearings in fact would obscure the democrats' biggest vulnerability in 2014. obamacare. the issue that has brought obama his lowest approval ratings. so if the dems can muddy up the waters of obamacare disaster with something they say is a nonissue, why would they object? what do they have to lose? it's a win/win for them. and for any of you

. >> monica lewinsky says it's time to come clean about everything in her affair with president clinton. is this helpful to hillary? kir steen powers on the interview getting attention from millions. >>> plus, what is the administration doing to help free jailed for more than a month now in a dangerous mexican prison. >> this is by far the hardest mainly because it's the fear of the unknown. >> congressman duncan hunter is here with a message for the white house on a busy night for "the kelly file." >>> breaking tonight, results now coming in on the first big primary day of the 2014 election season. and in at least one key senate race, the results so far are not what democrats were hoping for. welcome to "the kelly file." i'm megyn kelly. the big race to watch tonight in north carolina where one of the most vulnerable democratic incumbents is fighting for her political life. but senator kay hagan's primary is not what she has to worry about. instead, political analysts say her future is tied to what happens on the republican primary side tonight, and she knows it. she even spent money t

[ barks ] [ chuckles ] i'd do anything to keep this guy happy and healthy. that's why i'm so excited about these new milk-bone brushing chews. whoa, i'm not the only one. it's a brilliant new way to take care of his teeth. clinically proven as effective as brushing. ok, here you go. have you ever seen a dog brush his own teeth? the twist and nub design cleans all the way down to the gum line, even reaching the back teeth. they taste like a treat, but they clean like a toothbrush. nothing says you care like a milk-bone brushing chew.

see monica lewinsky, 40 years old right now.r mind when you read the article and see these dramatic new pictures of monica lewinsky? >> when i see the pictures i think she looks terrific. i think the photographer did a great job. i think she looks wonderful. 30 is the new 40. i think she's got an entire -- >> no, no. >> 40 is the new 30. this is a 42-year-old, so this is important for me. she's got an entirely new stage in her life. you know, her life is just beginning in certain ways and she's got a lot that she can still do. and she can reclaim her life and move forward. >> she's got a great smile, jeffrey. take a look at that smile. she's obviously a very attra attractive young woman, when i say young, 40, as anna just said is the new 30. she looks great in these pictures. you wouldn't know looking at the pictures what an awful ordeal she has gone through over the course of these many years. >> it's lousy. and the piece is really fascinating. and i think most people believe, certainly everyone i've talked to about this, think

when monica lewinsky comes out and makes her comments, it was consensual. she said she found it troubling that mrs. clinton would have blamed herself for the affair as well as monica, herself, and let her husband get off scot-free. i'm paraphrasing there. in a way, it's better to have it discussed now. people are going to talk about the nuts and sluts line. hillary was behind the nuts and sluts saga in the past with president clinton. we have to deal with that. is that really enabling more abuse or more taking advantage of women or pro-women to trash lewinsky today? >> i'm just shaking my head. there's a whole group of millenials that weren't aware -- >> shouldn't they know about it? >> why bring it up? >> it's convenient not to bring it up, that's for sure. >> carter is a libertarian. i mean, yeah, hillary -- >> what does that mean? >> she tells ruth marcus what to write and carter what to publish in. >> yesterday, allen, she was called in all three papers, a narcissistic looney tune a. >> hillary called her that. >> diane blare made that quote public. it

monica lewinsky writing every day i'm recognize. every day.ometimes a person will walk past me again and again as if i wouldn't notice. lewinsky writes even though she was a foolish 24-year-old at the time, she put it, she never thought it would turn out the way it did. she says, i look back now, shake my head in disbelief and go what were we thinking? i'd give anything to go back and rewind the tape. do we have a sense? >> she said it's time. at 40 it's time to stop tiptowing around her past and other people's futures clearly referring to the clintons here. she said that in hillary clinton's 2008 presidential campaign she remained reclusive and she's fearful if clinton makes another run. still lewinsky claims the timing of her article is not about her versus the clintons saying, quote, their lives have moved on. they occupied important global stations on the stage. i wish them no ill. and i wish that people would understand that what happened to me does not matter to either of them. she ice saying clinton not only blamed her but blamed him fo

why would monica lewinsky come out now and do this interview? basically been in the background for quite some time. she's done a few interviews. but why now? >> i have to move past the comment of burying the dress. i don't want to be part of the vast right wing conspiracy because i know we're going to be blamed for everything as soon as hillary clinton becomes our inevitable president. but i honestly think this is part of the clinton plan of trying to get this out there now, get it out early and say, even if monica lewinsky wants to move on, the rest of america should be able to move on, too. >> you're saying the clintons would ask your to go out and do this interview right now? >> they're behind everything, absolutely. listen, i think it plays into their cards. i have no idea. i'm not saying they're behind it. >> larry thinks this is good for hillary clinton. do you see it that way? >> no, no. i don't think anytime monica lewinsky is in the news it's good for the clintons. and i don't think that monica lewinsky would do anything that bill and h

put yourself in monica lewinsky's shoes.year-old rutgers student who jumped off the bridge in front of my house, that she was motivated because she similarly -- >> felt humiliation he felt. >> and she wants to do self-destroy as he did. >> will it play in 2016 for hillary? will this matter that she's coming out now? >> i think it meters who the republican nominee is. i think a senator rand paul has made very clear, elisabeth, that he considers the president's character and the actions of his spouse during this traumatic period in american history to be relevant to the 2016 election as it refers to the clark of the family -- character of the family. if it's rand paul, that's one thing. if it's jeb bush or mitt romney again -- >> i actually see a woman that's turning 40 that wants to make sense out of what happened to her. >> i think that's very profound. you just turned 50. i 70. >> can i throw a curve ball in here? could women, could the clintons or hillary clinton maybe assume that there would be a bunch of women who feel l
