Did anyone else hear Liar Hannity say "Monica was 19"?
I thought I heard this in a bit of Hannity footage which was played on Countdown. Countdown played a whole bunch of clips of repukes and their paid shills repeating talking points in which they tried to get the heat off Foley/Hastert/Reynolds/Shimkus by using the old "what about the DEMOCRATS??"

I heard a clip of Hannity saying "Monica was 19... not underage, but she WAS still a teenager!"

Since fucking WHEN was Monica "19" when she was carrying on with Clinton??? Someone fill me in on this. I thought she was 22 when her Clinton affair began....?

1. We commented on that too. I thought she was at least 21.

2. She was 21 when she went to work at the White House...

the liars may be confused, as she had already had at least one affair with an older man (former teacher?) I think.

4. Yes, I believe she was 22... and anyway,
that's such an idiotic thing to say -- even if she would've only been 19, which she wasn't, there's a hell of a big difference between even a 16-year-old and a 19-year-old as far as maturity, decision making, etc.... not to mention the LEGALITY of the different ages.

19. Yes, she was 22 at the time of the affair.
Even at the time, the media kept referring to her as 21 in an attempt to make her seem younger. The Daily Howler did some great stuff on this.

34. Labeling Foley as a Dem and stating the Monica was 19 ought to
bring down the credibility house at FOX News but i haven't heard one word about this as an example of the RW media conspiracy from the Dems. Why not? They should be all over this and even hold a news conference about it since the media is a powerful propaganda tool owned and controlled by the conservative right wing neocons.

5. I saw that too
on Countdown last night... actually Monica was 23 or 24 at the time: a fully-functioning, consenting, legal adult in the eyes of the law.

6. Well, Foley is now a democrat. I thought that was an interesting
technique.

Can you spell Obfuscation! (I'm not sure I can)

9. Unless he's ASSuming the married professors she had affairs
with in college are all Democrats, he's way out of line on this one.

She didn't land the internship until she'd graduated.

23. Oh, no, no!
It was crystal clear from the video that Liar Hannity was talking strictly about the CLINTON affair!

Thanks to you and the others for confirming that she was well over 19 at the time--not that 19 is any magic age; people who are college age are liable to be into anything, and as one poster said, there's a world of difference btw 19 and 16 (the age of one of Foley's targets.)

13. No, it's sad
It really is

They defend murder, lying, and cheating, but pedophilia? They really are the lowest type of scum.

11. She was born in 1973, making her 23 in 1996.
Monica Samille Lewinsky (born July 23, 1973)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Lewinsky

Whay are we surprised that Hannity lied?

14. Which means that by July 1994, she was 21 and an ADULT
by ANY legal standard here in the US.

16. Either way she was an adult with the ability, according to the law
to have sex with another person older than 18. I love how this guy tries to have sex with another boy, gay is their big thing anyway, and they say well he was 17 not like he was 13. So f'ing what, according to the laws of my state, tennessee, he is still underage.

17. 19 is still way different than 15 or 16
But, Monica was 20 when Clinton took office in January of 2003.

21. Last time I checked
18 is the age of legal adulthood, so 19 is still a pass (even tho' he's lying)

24. Before long they will say she was 18 and soon after
they will have to figure out the logistics of how she was at the WH while still in grammar school :)

That's how they get the idiots so confusalated..they keep changing stuff a llittle at a time and before long, they have convinced them ..

28. Since when do facts get in the way of their bullshit?
Those idiots can say whatever they want and get away with it because the idiots watching them have no idea about facts either.

30. Maybe ABC will do a "docudrama"
about the Monica affair and have a 15-year-old play her, just to keep the freepers happy in their own little fantasy world.
