QOTD – May 8 – Hasn’t the Cigar Burned Down Yet?

Oh, hey there Fame Whore… I mean, Monica Lewinsky. So, you haven’t burned the dress, but you’re willing to grab the … um… microphone, or laptop, or interview chair, and once again spit out (I promise that pun wasn’t intended) the story we’ve heard a million times. Yes, you had an affair with the President of the United States. But, I have students who weren’t born when that happened. Did people forget your name for a moment? Your talk show didn’t work out? Tired of “hiding” out, and waiting for the next opportunity to pop up (hmm… there we go again with the euphemisms).

Surprise! Here she comes (err….) again.

Sitting down with Vanity Fair to speak about where she’s been, right around the same time Hillary Clinton is about to run for office, can’t possibly be a coincidence. Right?

Hasn’t been long enough? Can’t certain stories just be things for history books?

What is the lifespan of a story?

     Even if it’s a major story? Something on a national level?
