yes, Paula Jones, the woman who sued to restore her "good name" so that she could go on to get plastic surgery, appear in Penthouse, and get her ass kicked by Tanya Harding on FOX's celebrity boxing

10 years later, Paula Jones has modest place in history; lawsuit marred Clinton presidency

By JAMES JEFFERSON
Associated Press Writer

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- Ten years ago this week, a lawsuit was filed that poisoned a presidency.

When Paula Jones sued Bill Clinton on May 6, 1994, alleging sexual harassment, she touched off a blizzard of events that made Monica Lewinsky a national figure and led to the first presidential impeachment since 1868.

Jones accused a sitting president of exposing himself and making indecent propositions in a Little Rock hotel while Jones was a state worker and Clinton was the governor. Jones also alleged that her career suffered after she rejected Clinton's advances. Clinton denied the allegations.

1. Jones
If she was really the "victim" she said she was, she would not have freely flaunted her sexuality by posing in Penthouse.

2. To be honest, I believe Jones was basically apolitical
From what I read, her RW, Clinton-hating husband pushed to do this. She just wanted money.

5. The only redeeming thing this woman could do
would be to come clean and write an exposé of how she was used by the right wing to smear Clinton, and name names. If she can't do that, James Carville was right about her,"Drag a $100 bill through a trailer park…"

6. Jones could still make a name for herself...
By writing a tell-all book. Personally, the Story I think would make a great movie would be the love affair of Ted and Babs Olsen who met as part of the Arkansas Project to get Clinton. They fell in love. They rose to power. and then she died tragically on Flight 77 on 9/11.

It would make an interesting story because the beginning would be a juxtiposition of romance and conspiracy while the end would be tragedy. I could feel complete empathy for this utterly reptillian duo.
