(6,409 posts)OK, Clinton should not have blurted out her amateur psychiatric evaluation of Lewinski, but she has a point. Lewinski is one of those people who seeks attention, and uses various means to get it. Some of what she did, saving the infamous blue dress, for example, indicates she had something in mind all along. I don't think Lewinski was treated unfairly, not at all. I know some people who knew her in college, and she did some fairly nasty things to people she called her friends. She has turned her misfortune into good fortune by getting on the lecture circuit and telling people how it feels to be hounded, discredited, attacked, etc. I guess you could argue she is pursuing the only career open to her, but my sources tell me that was the career she had in mind long before meeting Bill Clinton. She is certainly very good at making herself appear to be a victim of those who tell the truth about her. If you call her a professional victim, she turns that around and calls you an abuser.
