Former President Bill Clinton insisted in a weekend interview that he doesn't owe a personal apology to Monica Lewinsky, the former White House intern whose adult life has been defined by their inappropriate sexual affair and the global scrutiny that followed.
No,' he told NBC in an interview airing Monday on the 'Today' show. 'I do not – I have never talked to her. But I did say publicly on more than one occasion that I was sorry.'
'I apologized to everybody in the world,' Clinton said, implying that was enough.
And the flustered former president, more famous for his Don Juan-like seductions than for his policy legacy, portrayed himself, not Lewinsky, as history's victim in the mass-media's retelling of the 1990s saga.

Bill didn’t abuse his power, anymore then Monica abused her youth.
Both Bill and Monica wanted everything to happen.
Stop looking for victims

Yeah, sure. Most powerful man in the USA (maybe world) pressures intern to do sexual favors for him at work.
But he didn't abuse his power.

No, I think he's saying he was a victim of slut shaming by Linda Tripp.

There are plenty of recordings thanks to the special investigator. Doesn't sound like the casting couch.

Linda Tripp the psycho? The one Lewinsky said wanted an affair with Clinton?
Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States (1993–2001), has been publicly accused of sexual misconduct by three women: Juanita Broaddrick accuses Clinton of raping her in 1978; Kathleen Willey accuses Clinton of groping her without consent in 1993; and Paula Jones accuses Clinton of exposing himself to her in 1991 and sexually harassing her. The Jones allegations became public in 1994, while Willey's and Broaddrick's became public during the 1998–99 time period, toward the end of Clinton's second term as president.
