Paula Jones

CNN reminds us that it was 10 years ago that Paula Jones filed her infamous lawsuit over the then-sitting president of the US, Bill Clinton.

Yet of course, the article is wildly ignorant to many of the ramifications. One huge one is that we spent so many years indulging questions about Clinton's sex life that we did nothing to watch over the terrorist strikes that were to come. While the right loves to blame Clinton for everything, I seriously blame them for blowing up a sham that cost an incredible amount of money (and the prosecutor's clock still ticks) and a diversion of everything.

The article also does not address the fact that most recently, Paula has been whining that she was used and abused by the right wing and then tossed away.
