Monica Lewinsky gets her Masters

Not sure if this is where this should be posted, but it can be moved to where it needs to be, if need be:

**************************
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, whose sexual relationship with U.S. President Bill Clinton led to his impeachment, has graduated from the London School of Economics, her publicist said on Wednesday.

Lewinsky, who was 21 when she became involved with Clinton, is interviewing for jobs in Britain, publicist Barbara Hutson said.

When Lewinsky, 32, received her Masters of Science degree in Social Psychology last Thursday "the audience of students and parents erupted in spontaneous applause. ... It was a very emotional moment for her," Hutson said in a statement.

Hutson said Lewinsky spent the past year studying and "staying away from the London social scene."

She completed a thesis entitled "In Search of the Impartial Juror: An exploration of the third person effect and pre-trial publicity."
*****************************

First, good for her.

Second, the punch lines form below this note!

No jokes here. I say, good for her. I wondered, at the time, how a 21 year old woman whose name is suddenly synonymous with fellatio would have anything like a normal life or career.

Good choice for her. She brings a unique perspective on this, I imagine!

Something tells me she'll have a leg up on the interview process, too.

Translation - she's fat now. Really fat.

Yes, I know I'm a bad person for even thinking it.

I can't imagine she has a "normal" dating life for someone her age. Any guy that goes out with her would either (a) expect her to "perform" or (b)would be the most open-minded individual I've ever heard of, uncaring of what others think of him being with her.

I know if I wasn't married in my late 20's or early 30's, I couldn't have been bothered to explain to everyone that "No, I'm NOT going out with her for THAT." Probably says something (negative) about me.

However, if the "publicist" quoted in the article is Monica's spokesperson, I have to wonder why she has one. Folks trying to stay out of the limelight don't need a publicist, do they?

I bet she will do great during the oral part of her interviews. She'll probably blow right by the competition.

1. Who Cares?
2. Who would want to be Monica Lewinsky's boss. It would have to be a female.....
3. We all know she can handle herself with a desk.
4. sorry Ma'am there is no Smoking in here..... oh wait your not smoking it are you?
Wonder if she appiled for a job with the Prime Minister. Fitting how she got a degree in economics. Easy enough. Give a president a blow job, let him shove things like cigars in you, them leak it, then write a book, then never rally have to worry about money again. Sounds like great economics to me.

Seconded.

I see no reason to crack the all too easy joke here. The pointing and laughing phase should've been over years ago. I know that I, for one, and I daresay a great many others around here, made some pretty stupid, and potentially embarrassing, choices at 21 years of age. I'm certainly glad that I don't have to listen to snickering about them for the rest of my life.

So...congratulations to Ms Lewinsky.

Yeah, if I got made fun of for every bad choice I made back then... yowza. I think her Master's thesis sounds pretty interesting as well. And good for her for choosing England - for a snowball's chance in hell at normalcy.


On another note - holy crap on a stick! It's been a while since we've heard from you, AVOR! I used to enjoy your politics posts very much.

Might I add that her singular accomplishment has nothing to do with today's politics?

I pity her for the name recognition, but she is nothing more than a former "celebrity" of no obvious talent. Think Paris Hilton, without the money or looks.

(Yes, I am seriously creeped out that this tramp found her way into the Politics Forum, rather than "General")

Personally, i couldn't give a flying crapsack about what she did to the president, kudos to him for getting blown by a 21 yr old, shame he got caught.

However, what really pisses me off about that woman is the way she used her name to become a minor celebrity off doing it. I really really hate people who do that (like that woman who had the affair with beckham joining dream tv, another pitiful show).

I never got the impression she wanted it. She never spoke publicly. She hired people to represent her to the media and tried to hide as much as possible.

I don't go there too much anymore--too many posts that consists of LONG clips from articles I couldn't care less about. I find it a bore to wade through a lot of them. But now and then . . .

I also say good for her. I've watched how Monica has been villified in the media, and it is to her credit that she has moved on with her life and gotten additional studies, something that will help her achieve some career goals other than being "Monica Lewinski". Hopefully she'll make a good life for herself.

Thats cool, at least she moved on... If i were her, i woulda gone for a degree in psychology, because her 'unique experience' woulda given her both a good base for an objective perspective as well as a good starting business base on which to begin a psychologist empire.

LSE huh? That's an excellent London school. I have a friend who's doing her PhD there. All I could think of while reading that Monica Lewinsky has graduated there is that the school suddenly doesn't seem as reputable...sorry, just being honest. Who cares about her anyway?

I agree, give the girl a break. I've done much worse things, and been seduced by much less good looking (oh yes he is) and powerful men (and power is, believe me, a powerful aphrodisiac). When someone has that kind of draw, it becomes a lot easier to ignore whether it's wrong, or that they're married.
