Monica Lewinsky aide Hillary Clinton

Un titre un brin tordu, mais l'analyse n'est pas bête. En effectuant sa sortie maintenant, Lewinsky permettra probablement que le sujet ne vienne hanter la campagne d'Hillary. Si le républicain Rand Paul s'accroche aujourd'hui à cette histoire, il y a fort à parier que les journalistes auront d'autres chats à fouetter dans quelques mois. Et puis les Américains souhaitent-ils vraiment revivre ce drame duquel on n'apprend plus rien?

 "Lewinsky’s account makes clear that her affair with the president was between two consenting adults. “Sure, my boss took advantage of me, but I will always remain firm on this point: it was a consensual relationship,” she writes. “Any ‘abuse’ came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position.”

 So her piece defuses Paul’s line of attack. And it does so before any Clinton presidential announcement.

 If and when a Clinton presidential announcement comes, Lewinsky will be old news. “It’s time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress,” Lewinsky writes. That would be good news for both women
