Examples of being "Monicaized"

[Lizzy Dearborn]

Pure seculation here, (because it has never been proven that Monica Lewinsky was anything other than what she appered to be) but I'm looking for examples of when into a soon-to-be-very influential citizens life a person came along and distracted them, kept the lid on, kept the riff-raff out, etc....tempted them with their own weakness or plain old ratted them out, finked on them, turned them over, spied on them.<br><br>And again, I don't think that Bill Clinton would have done anything radical, (but what if some were frightened of his popularity??)<br><br>I think that the powers that be will go to great lengths to keep a movement like what almost happened in the 60's,(discussed on this board before) from ever happening. Don't want people to get along or for god's sake to drop-out. <p></p><i></i>

had to be made an example lest any future president be so presumptious as to suggest universal health care. This was Gore Vidal's take, anyhow. <p></p><i></i>

Thanks for reminding me, that was sort of radical. <br><br>(Not for a western industrialized "First World Country" though.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :x --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/sick.gif ALT=":x"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> )<br><br>And good ole Gore Vidal. <p></p><i></i>

..and those who don't have personal peccadillo's to exploit are "Wellstoned."<br><br>edited to add: and those are rare indeed. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=sunny@rigorousintuition>sunny</A> at: 5/7/06 5:56 am<br></i>
