Monica Lewinsky ‘had no more significance in the proceedings than a tennis ball at Wimbledon’

Richard Fernandez writes:

Monica Lewinsky never belonged.  Men in politics have often had mistresses, but unlike the well publicized paramours of European leaders, she could not take care of herself.  Those women had the angles figured.  They gave no pity and deserved none. Lewinsky didn’t even know what the game was.  In the loveless, pitiless, strangely sexless world of power politics, the only reputation that counts is how you do as a player.  Monica wasn’t even in the running.
