Linda Tripp breaks silence after nearly 20 years, unloads on Hillary Linda Tripp, the tape-recording former pal of Monica Lewinsky who exposed the intern’s affair with President Bill Clinton, broke nearly two decades of silence Tuesday and unloaded on Hillary Clinton. The 65-year-old Tripp tore into both Clintons, but saved her harshest rhetoric for the former first lady, calling her a power-hungry monster who would do anything to get elected. “I think the most compelling thing about Hillary is that she will stop at nothing to achieve her end and that she views the public as plebeians easily seduced into believing her point of view,” Tripp told the Daily Mail. Tripp said Hillary was a key leader in White House efforts to squash “bimbo eruptions,” when the West Wing unleashed quick-fire responses to discredit women claiming to have had affairs with Bubba. “In this endeavor she was ruthless. She destroyed women so that their stories never saw the light of day,” Tripp said. The ultimate goal, from Day 1 of Bubba’s administration, was to ensure Hillary would rule 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. someday just like Bill, according to Tripp. “This has been planned for so many years. I remember one of the quotes in my first week in the Oval Office which was the week after Clinton’s first inauguration,” the former civil servant said. “Everybody had this little mantra, ‘Eight years for Bill. Eight years for Hill.’ And when I asked a senior person, ‘What does that mean?’ He said, ‘Well eight years for his administration and eight years for hers. So this is a runaway train. Nobody is going to stop it,’ ” Tripp said. The former Defense Department employee nearly brought down Clinton’s White House by secretly recording her phone calls with her one-time friend Lewinsky. The intern-turned-paramour poured her heart out to Tripp in the secret tapes, revealing her love for — and sexual encounters with — Clinton. After Tripp exposed the Lewinsky-Clinton connection, the presidential mistress famously told special prosecutor Kenneth Starr: “I hate Linda Tripp.” As for betraying her pal Lewinsky, Tripp said she’d do it again. “I regret what I put my through. I regret very much that they had to endure that level of vitriol,” Tripp said.“But would I do it again? Yes.” Tripp and her husband now live in rural Virginia and operate a Christmas store, The Christmas Sleigh. Article from New York Post |

Being Canadian, I don't really know much about your political scandals etc. I just know that from what you've written, we would call Ms. Tripp 'a real piece of work'.

My bs meter clangs alarmingly when I see that this piece is from the New York Post. Now remind me, who owns the New York Post? Oh that's right Rupert Murdoch - who also owns FOX - what a coincidence!

The Daily Mail, when it was owned by Lord Northcliffe and Lord Rothermere was the Conservative party mouthpiece - recently it has remained staunchly Tory but it has been prone to gross over exaggeration and sensationalism in its reporting - with some particularly nasty homophobic leanings under editor Paul Dacre. I am not reassured at all.
