Monica Lewinsky Today 2012

Monica Lewinsky Today 2012, The Monica Lewinsky affair with Bill Clinton is back – at least in the public forum with documentaries that resusitate the affair with Bill Clinton that occurred with Lewinsky, a White House intern, 14 years ago.

The documentaries include in-depth interviews from White House staffers and confidantes who were around Clinton in the darkest days of his Presidency in an affair that scandalized his presidency.

One such trusted aide, Betsey Wright, begged Clinton not to run for President because of all his past affairs.

Writer Gail Sheely said Wright had serious concerns stating, “The day before the press conference he was going to announce that he was going to run, Betsey Wright, his ferociously protective campaign manager, sat him down with a list of names of women and went through one after the other. ‘How many times? Where did you meet her? How likely is she to talk?” Clinton said for each name that ‘she’ll never say anything’, but Miss Wright replied, ‘But you don’t know that!’ Miss Wright supposedly told Clinton, ‘The problem is we’re not just talking about you, we’re talking about your wife, we’re talking about your child.’ She said I don’t think you can run.’”

Clinton eventually won the presidency in 1992, but six years later, his risky infidelities caught up to him as he became embroiled in a sex scandal with the 25 year old intern that would scar his Presidency for life.

Lewinsky alleged that between November, 1995 and March, 1997, she had nine sexual encounters with President Clinton that, according to her testimony, involved fellatio, anilingus, and other sexual acts which included the use of a cigar in the Oval Office, but that did not involve sexual intercourse.

The Lewinsky affair was not Clinton’s first indiscretion. He was confronted with allegations of sexual misconduct during his tenure as Governor of Arkansas, which included a civil lawsuit against him by former Arkansas state employee, Paula Jones, who alleged he had sexually harassed her.

Monica Lewinsky Today, A new documentary that is set to air next week on PBS will take a closer look at former President Bill Clinton and his affair with Monica Lewinsky. The new documentary shows how Clinton struggled with the decision to go public with the affair and features interviews from staffers who felt betrayed by the scandal.

The two-part (four hour) documentary will air in Britain and the United States on February 20th.

The Guardian reports that the new documentary shows that Clinton was constantly hounded by women. Clinton’s sexual appeal, and future problem, was foreshadowed during his run for Governor in Arkansas. And the problem became uncontrollable when he became President.

Paul Fray, Clinton’s former campaign manager, said:

“You got to understand that at one time there was at least 25 women per day coming through there trying to find him and I’d tell them he was out on the road. Lord it was bad. Bad, bad bad, bad bad.”

Betsey Wright, Mr Clinton’s trusted political aide, almost convinced Clinton not to run for President due to his past affairs. Writer Gail Sheely said that Wright sat down with Clinton before he announced his bid for the presidency with some serious concerns about women. Sheely said:

“The day before the press conference he was going to announce that he was going to run, Betsey Wright, his ferociously protective campaign manager, sat him down with a list of names of women and went through one after the other. ‘How many times? Where did you meet her? How likely is she to talk?” Clinton said for each name that ‘she’ll never say anything’, but Miss Wright replied: ‘But you don’t know that!’ Miss Wright supposedly told Clinton: ‘The problem is we’re not just talking about you, we’re talking about your wife, we’re talking about your child.’ She said I don’t think you can run.’”
