A few people stood up last week. Rose McGowan was one.
Rebecca offered "yes, he owes monica an apology," "colbert makes nice with billy clinton," "the real bill" and "again on bill clinton."
Some tried to act as though Monica Lewinsky was the bad person.
Recap: Bill and Monica had sex.
That's not all that happened.
When the affair was known, Bill lied about it. His people painted her as a stalker and crazy. Hillary Clinton said Monica was lying -- Hillary's infamous "vast right-wing conspiracy" interview on TODAY.
They smeared her, they lied about her, in order to try to save themselves.
Hell, yes, Bill owes Monica an apology.
And the press owes the American people a lot more questions -- including asking Bill if he raped Juanita Broaddrick.
It was important last week.
It got more important this week when the following clip surfaced:
Shirtless Pundit Retweeted
"Norms have changed about what you can do to someone against their will"?
"Against their will."
Sounds like rape, doesn't it?
Margery Eagen (BOSTON GLOBE) observes:
Bill Clinton, who’s made no amends for his multiple transgressions, has shown he understands none of this. He still strides to the stage like a great man, floating above the fray, concerned only with great issues, such as war and peace and hunger. On his book tour last week, he seemed insulted to be called to account for something, to him, as inconsequential as what he did to an intern right out of college all those years ago. He could barely manage a self-pitying apology for the long-suffering and maligned Monica Lewinsky.
