Monica Lewinsky Scandal: Bill Clinton Apology Reportedly Looms Ahead Of Hillary’s Potential Presidency

Monica Lewinsky scandal left Ms. Lewinsky 'a scapegoat in order to protect [Bill Clinton's] powerful position,' said her article in Vanity Fair.

During Hillary Clinton's 2008 candidacy, Lewinsky did not come forward with allegations because she did not want to hurt the party, she said.

She is ready to speak out now saying, 'it's time to bury the blue dress." She turned 40 last year and she's tired of tiptoeing through her life and hurting other people as well, so she's speaking out. 'I turned 40 last year, and it is time to stop tiptoeing around my past - and other people's futures,' Lewinsky writes.

Faced with the threat that Lewinsky has suddenly surfaced because she is out for revenge, the Sun Times suggests that Bill Clinton might seek to mitigate the havoc Lewinsky could wreak on his wife's political aspirations by apologizing for the pain and suffering his denial of the affair has caused the women throughout the years.

Lewinsky said that had the story broken out today, it "would have gone viral on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, TMZ, Gawker. It would have become a meme of its own on Tumblr. The viralness itself would have merited mention on the Daily Beast and Huffington Post."

In a recent HBO taping, she was asked about being a "BJ Queen." Lewinsky is determined that she wants to move past her humiliation. She wants to accomplish this by recycling the Bill Clinton-Lewinsky story so that she can finally 'own it.'

The Daily Mail reports on the major reasons why Lewinsky has rehashed the episode:

• "Monica Lewinsky resurfaced this week with an essay in Vanity Fair about affair with Bill Clinton
• In the essay Lewinsky says she has 'no ill will' toward the Clintons, yet decries the way Clinton and his allies framed her as a stalker after the affair
• Lewinsky is a liability if Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016.
• The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Bill Clinton may publicly apologize to Lewinsky to minimize the damage her scorn could do to Hillary's campaign"

According to rumors and speculative media reports, former president Bill Clinton is slated to apologize to his former mistress for "the way the Clinton political operation treated her after their affair a decade and a half ago." There should also be an apology in the offing for the presidential hopeful.  Of course, the apology to 'all women' is also significant since Mr. Clinton is now an ambassador for 'the betterment of humanity.'

She said in the article in Vanity Fair that she had been described by Clinton's cronies as a 'stalker' despite her stand that it was consensual affair.

The Sun Times has suggested that the former President come out and own up to his past ahead of the 2016 election  in which Hillary Clinton is a hopeful. The newspaper said that in the wake of a threat from Lewinsky to make Mrs. Clinton's candidacy an issue, it would be mitigate a  backlash if Mr. Clinton could apologize to women for undermining their reputation by his actions.

'I did not have sexual relations with that woman.' Was the famous defense that Clinton used. However, after the debacle intensified, he apologized saying he 'misled people, including even my wife. I deeply regret that.' But he did not apologize for his actions and that is still in the minds of the people.

The Lewinsky post in Vanity Fair has brought out mixed commentary about the revelation that she is 'burying the blue dress' referring to a dress worn by her and used as evidence against President Clinton.

Monica Lewinsky should shut up and go away said an article by Andreya  Pyser, which was in line with conservative news media asking the question, "We have buried the blue dress. Why is it (resurrecting) now?"

Pyser continued to say, "She's America's favorite beret-wearing former intern, whose very name has become a synonym for a sex act she eagerly performed on her knees, a dame who rocketed to fame for failing to dry-clean a blue dress stained with the seed of the then-leader of the free world."

Ms. Lewinsky reiterates that the sexual relationship was consensual but "my boss took advantage of me," an excerpt from the Vanity Fair article said. The digital form of the post will be released on Thursday May 15.

Basically, Lewinsky has blamed just about every angle for the White House 'hanky panky' and the ensuing 'you're caught red-handed in the Oval Office' verdict including "the Clinton administration, the special prosecutor's minions, the political operatives on both sides of the aisle and the media.''

Ultimately, in a convoluted way, Ms. Lewinsky is saying that she was scapegoat by all of the above entities. However, she is firm on the stand that everything between the President and her was 'consensual.'

Fox News reported Lewinsky as saying, ""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 in order to protect his powerful position."

She added that "nothing could be further from the truth," when media inferred that she had been paid off to be quite about the Monica Lewinsky scandal. 

Hillary Clinton, who stands to lose from the publicized 'Lewinsky revelations' about her husband and his intern, is a frontrunner for the presidential race in 2016, making her a credible candidate for America's first woman presidency.

Lewinsky will also be the focus of a political comeback from the 90s, 17 years after the Monica Lewinsky scandal emerged. Now 40, the question still intrigues the media about her return from obscurity in 2014. A much talked about 4-hour documentary with the former Washington intern was aired on PBS on Feb.20, where Lewinsky will take the spotlight once again.
