Shame! It’s Like an Icepick through Your Head!

Lightening up the mood around here a bit, I’d like to thank the script writers at True Tori (or as one blogger so nicely puts it True Whorey) for this bit of theatrical “remorse” by Dean McDermott.

Confronting McDermott about his disappearance during a Christmas party with their four children, Tori wants him to know that he missed fake snow, and it was special, and she had to deal with all that herself while he was off fucking around.

“It’s creepy to think someone could be that good of an actor,” says Spelling.

Um. You married an actual actor, Tori.

McDermott — a guy with a face like hammered steak and an apparent penchant for wearing t-shirts he dug out of the bottom of the laundry bin — is thunderstruck.

“Babe?!” says Spelling, dissolving into tears at McDermott’s apparent distress.

The head clutching is all too much for her! This operatic gesture of remorse is why she Just Can’t Confront Him. See what happens? It hurts him! The therapist assures her, that hey, he has to feel this.

Why do either of them assume he feels anything at all? He’s an actor. A bad, hammy one, but an actor nonetheless. Soldiering forth with his lines, McDermott declares, “I feel shame like I’ve never felt shame before. It’s like an icepick through my head!”

A note to Hollywood script writers — infidelity is like an icepick through your head (and heart). Shame? Not so much. Personally, I doubt whether a practiced serial cheater like McDermott is capable of shame. Clearly neither Tori or Dean experience shame or they wouldn’t be starring in their own reality TV show. But I get this is an ancient dramatic arc, beginning with Paul on the road to Damascus struck by the light of God toward repentance, ending with the magician in Frosty the Snowman who’s really sorry after all! People love this kind of fairy tale.

Why? Because it doesn’t happen in real life. Like all “reality” TV, it’s aspirational. Cheaters don’t have perfectly timed, on camera breakthroughs that, gosh! they are scumbags! Disordered people don’t feel pain at hurting others. They just feel their own pain, and yours is a little annoying buzz, and would you please shut up? Shaming them with Christmas photos of their children tends to be a tactic doomed to failure — ask several thousand chumps how they know.

No, if shame exists for guys like Dean McDermott at all, it’s a slow, creeping realization that they Aren’t All That. It happens over years. He wakes up one day and thinks “God, I need to wash my t-shirt.” The royalties to his TV show have long dried up and he’s doing late-night infomercials for dog shampoo and thinks “Maybe if I hadn’t been such a douchebag, my life would’ve turned out differently.” But he dare not utter this. Especially not to his five children who don’t talk to him. Or his multiple ex-wives. He admits it to himself, and it has all the force of a flaccid egg noodle.

In other news, the ice pick of shame clearly hasn’t permeated Monica Lewinsky’s head. Tomorrow her expose in Vanity Fair comes out, where she “breaks her silence” about her affair with President Clinton.

She is tired of  “tiptoeing around my past – and other people’s futures. I am determined to have a different ending to my story. I’ve decided, finally, to stick my head above the parapet.”

Putting aside that she stuck her bouffant-ed head above the parapet earlier for a Barbara Walter’s interview and a book deal, I guess it’s time to stick it to Hilary as she considers a run for president. Lovely timing, Monica. I’m sure you’re very sorry and would like to apologize to Mrs. Clinton for fucking her husband.

No? You were a “scapegoat”? You’re the real victim here and you’re going to set the “narrative” straight? Thanks for that, Monica. We’d all forgotten you. Mrs. Clinton has gone on to be Secretary of State and you’ve… what have you been doing? Designing handbags?

Where are those icepicks of shame when you need them.

So well said Chump Lady! Mr. and Mrs. McDermott deserve each other….the one and only thing that really hit home for me was the promo commercial where Mrs. McD talked about how creepy it was that someone could cheat and then come home and go on with life. Hmmm, memories of my own experiences. I am still struggling with this…my ex-h took his whore to Jamaica then came home and slept in bed next to me. Business as usual for him. Slept next to me for many years while he whored around. So glad he’s gone. The healing continues for me.

Im reading everyone’s replies and comments here and realizing that the theme of narcissistic behavior prevails in each and every story. Personally, I avoid sweep generalizations, however, I’m confident in stating that only one type of individual is capable of any type of infidelity: textbook narcissist. We can add sociopathy, and personality disorders into this mix, but the narcissism is almost like a default setting they all operate from. In my case, i got hit with the latter combo, which is absolutely the worst case scenario, because the lack of empathy is always combined either with gaslighting or purely sadistic behavior (one quick example: I was in the middle of an anxiety attack during DD, and gasping for breath, and cheater/sociopath stepped over me laying on the floor and said, “I don’t give a shit about your stupid anxiety” before leaving the room. I’m sure this isn’t major news to anyone who’s been educated on some of the main themes in psychology of human behavior, but it’s always a good reminder to know that their narrative is so similar in most of our cases.
As to the cheater theatrics, I’m actually glad I didn’t receive any. Apparently, I wasn’t worthy enough of even fake remorse.
Oh yeah, and one more thing: that saying that if someone tells you who they are, believe them, is totally applicable in my case, too. My ex said to me on a few occasions that even he agrees withthe sociopath definition for himself, but in his own words “what you gonna do about it, that’s just me.”
For a bright woman like myself, this part is the absolutely worst to get over: that I’ve been fooled for 14.5 years. It certainly makes me doubt my own ability to be perceptive (and I used to pride myself on calling myself that.)

Similar here Monika – I was on the verge of a breakdown after finding out he cheated and wanted a divorce and he said “you are very unattractive when you act like that!” I got some of the theatrics though because he is in the theatre industry. They are all so similar.

Monika, totally agree about the NPD. My cheater tried to force me to take a valium on the night of D-Day. I refused. I shudder to think what might have happened if I had done it. These meds are prescribed to me for vertigo, a condition of Meniere’s disease that I thought he was nursing me through for the last three years of our 16 year relationship. Then found emails and friends told me too, that he told people I was faking my illness. But as you say, the worst part is knowing how badly they fooled us chumps.

Of course, it wasn’t “creepy” when he was doing the exact same thing with his former wife and a second child( new baby) at home while he was with Tori. Missing those family memories while fucking Tori.
I am sure she feels some remnant of being special since he is not leaving her for the new APs.

Did you happen to catch someone asking Dean why he wanted to use the sex tape he made with Tori as foreplay with the fling? Tori feigned upset–while grinning with her face down in Sippy Cup overwhelm. Wouldn’t that make her feel better–he needed to look at Tori to have sex with Missy? Oh, what was I thinking! He only wanted to watch himself having sex with himself–while perfecting the ice pick improv. Has anyone cared enough to find the escapee mistress? It wouldn’t be the first tweak for “reality” ratings.

Yep that’s what he was in love with, the promise of a payday and not working.

Notice how he hasn’t been in much of anything since he married her. I also think the rumors of him screwing around started right around the time it was clear Tori’s mom wasn’t going to forgive and forget and cough up more inheritance money.

So transparent. I almost feel sorry for her. Almost.

I almost shot you an email asking you to post something on the Tori debacle. I laid in bed last night watching it and had many many hearty laughs. Tori looks like a muppet; I muppet who fails to mention how she hooked up with this fuck-stick in the first place. If they mentioned it on the show, I only missed it when I was howling with laughter over something one of them said.

Weird. How do they see each other? Her eyes are set so far apart and his are really close together. lol

My cheater’s eyes used to tear quite a lot. But, wouldn’t you know when he was prostrate on the floor, holding my hands, shouting “I get it, I finally get it!”, after my tirade of hurt, he couldn’t form one tear. Although I could see he was desperately crinkling his eyes trying to squeeze one out for effect. See, his sympathetic nervous system knew what was real and what wasn’t.

I’d hardly seen my ex cry in the 36 years we were married, but he spent many hours the last few months sobbing and curled up in a fetal position on our couch. I seriously thought he might have a brain tumor, his behavior was so bizarre.

I wondered if my ex had early-onset dementia. On the other hand, I now know that it’s a lot of work to lie, so that didn’t help. But the bizarre behavior was really weird. His mannerisms alternated between angry adolescent male, teen girl in love, and giddy 3-year-old. Nothing exciting for sure.

That’s what I refer to as cheater “trauma”. The jig is up and it literally floors them.

My ex wife she threw herself around the living room, bouncing off the couch while stuffing a throw pillow in her mouth. It was bizarre to watch her flailing about as if she was possessed.

Glad I was spared the theatrics described above. These descriptions seem more like the antics of toddlers throwing tantrums. I imagine you were too shocked to even react.

I never saw my cheater shed a tear in our 18 years together. After the affair reveal he cried once when he hugged me. Found it very odd and likely a calculated attempt to “show” that he was really sorry for hurting me. I was completely unmoved.

Oh man….. this happened to me too. My ex wife curled up in a ball at least twice through the divorce also saying “don’t touch me!”
I was confused with the strange behavior thought, Is this an act? WTH!
I think the guilt of the cheating catches up with them at times and they really
don’t know what to do at that moment.
I asked the psychologist about this and he did not know what it was.
I think he did.

I think the hysterics are often not an act, but in NO WAY is it about their guilt or shame. I think it’s about three things;
1) it HURTS a narc to look bad
2) it HURTS a narc to fear the loss of cake, or, even worse, experience loss of cake
3) maybe if they’re pathetic enough, they can get cake back, or at least get some ‘poor you’ kibbles. Better than no kibbles at all!

I got the McD creepy compartmentalized non-ice pick in the head. Asshat is a well practiced thespian too. I received the Gaslighting when I questioned him and then the weird going about business post porny church lady fuck. “Do I smell bad?” Nauseating.

So far, no tears. Just a lot of verbiage that does not match his actions. There is no real shame. Just like there is no empathy. Tori doesn’t get it because she’s a supreme cheater herself.

BTW….Whenever we get to that creepy NPD state off, I tell myself to think of a mountain covered in snow. These creeps are sooooo good at reading our emotions via subtle chump facial expressions/changes.

Same here. The theatrics were mine when I couldn’t take the days of silent treatment, his cool detachment or snide, seething rage–but never out of control, him. Maybe a slight tic if I actually caught him with his pants down (lit or fig). Since he was a superior being and it was all my fault anyway, why should he worry? I used to furiously throw clothes out of his bureau while he sat on the couch, smirking at my insanity. Then I’d put them back, neatly folded. How did the car keying “really insane” ex ow become his secret best friend one minute after he said “I do”? I guess he had his fingers crossed.

I think the Ice-picks of shame needs a cartoon CL.

On another note….I watched the first or second episode of this train wreck and there was ‘the tiniest bit’ of acknowledgement by Tori that she has been worried “ALL ALONG” that he would do this to her (for their entire marriage) because of the way they got together…..but we need to gloss over this……ummm cause she cheated too…but I digress….

Honestly I think Tori is trying to play a chump, and not doing a very good job at it…her beginnings were not exactly honorable and lets face it…..her biggest complaint during his time in rehab was “It is just so hard to take care of 4 kids alone…we had a system.” Welcome to the rest of the world Tori….its not fun when you have to “SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP” and take care of your kids and keep yourself together….welcome to re-world non-hollywood problems….\

I watch becaseu it is a disaster and you cant take your eyes off of it….but this is just pandering the reconciliation industry and it makes me soooooooo angry.

From the little I’ve read, it appears Monica Lewinsky is trying to get stick it to Mrs. Clinton, not the cheater she fucked around with. Typical OW logic. Ms. Lewinsky can play the victim card as much as she chooses (and I am no fan of Mr. Clinton), but she made the deliberate choice to screw a married man. I don’t care if he was Joe Blow the rag man, although I doubt she would have given him the time of day, she knew he was married and has no one but herself to blame for the blowback. I would carry my things in a garbage bag before I would buy one of her purses.

As for the Spellings , or whatever they call themselves, the only people I feel sorry for is the kids. Can you imagine how they are going to feel when they are old enough to understand how their parents whored their family’s life for a few gold coins? To me, what is happening to those children is close to abuse. Tragic.

Oh my god. I’m dying laughing at the comments so far and it’s only 7:19 a.m.

I’ll admit I watched this reality show for the very first time this week. It truly is like watching a car wreck. I think I saw a quick clip, perhaps of next week’s show, where someone asked him how could he do it, and his reply was much more real. It was something to the effect of, “I didn’t think I’d get caught.” Now that is truth.

I admit to watching about 15 minutes of Whori’s train wreck the other day. Mind numbing and hysterically funny at the same time. Yep; my past is your future indeed.

I did feel so sorry for those kids. Good grief. Like she’s the first person to take care of four kids. Yes, it’s hard; welcome to life. I felt so sad for the little one that barfed in the car, only to have paparazzi take photos. What kind of parent subjects their child to that? Wait, we already know that answer to that.

And Slimy Dean? It is fun to see these “players” (of either gender) looking so icky. Yeah, he’s a catch. And the “guilt”? Maybe these cheaters, when they’re lying alone on their deathbed, or when they figure out at 80 that nobody thinks they’re hot anymore…maybe they feel SOMEthing, but it’s not guilt…just more “poor cake-less me” crap. If they had the capacity to feel guilt, they wouldn’t be cheaters. You don’t grow a conscience. Blech.

File this one under Cheater Afflictions, i.e. Physiological Displays of Distress when confronted with their lies. This ties in greatly with CL’s 12 Days of Crazy from last Christmas…ironic considering that Tori was at a Christmas party while Dean was in Canada getting laid.

On the 12th Day of Christmas, Cheater Freak Dean gave to Tori….An epic, temple-rubbing grimace, complete with tightly-closed eyes and a bleeped (for TV): “Woah fuck!”

My ex, when confronted, let out a series of a rapid-fire, exhaled breaths, similar to a pregnant woman in labor. Mind you, my ex was NOT in labor and was NOT pregnant. He didn’t even have ovaries…..he was a “he.”

With all of the stories documented here of Cheater Freaks in fetal positions, sobbing, sleeping bag-hopping, and “grieving” the OWs, it’s clear that they’re all working off the EXACT same melodramatic script.

I just had one of those interesting “ah-hah” moments….wanted to share with the class! When I was first made aware of the OW – it was in the form of my XH sobbing/keening on the floor (fetal position) in front of an open door in the middle of the night. When I got out of bed to determine the source of these dramatic snorts and grunts – I found XH laying on the floor of the living room. Granted, he wasn’t hopping around in a sleeping bag, but Academy Award recipients have nothing on this fool. I hadn’t thought about this scenario in some time, but reading the above posts brought it all back….and I was pleased to note a “meh” response along with a side helping of amusement! (YAY!)

One night, during what I didn’t know was False reconciliation, she stopped by (with her kids) announce that they were still seeing each other. I told bim to choose now, he chose her. So I pulled his clothes out of the closet, loaded them into her car and told him to GTF out. Then then commenced the wailing, flailing and crying. Seeing her darling Twu Wuv go through that breakdown over “crap, my wife doesn’t want me anymore”, she got sick. So he’s locked himself in the bedroom, still wailing, flailing and crying. She’s puking her guts out in my bathroom. Where am I? I’m making sure her kids are occupied with a Spongebob Squarepants marathon and snacks so they don’t have to see any of the crazy going on.

Where to start with that video. Tori’s face is so rigid with botox it’s hard to figure out what’s going on with her. That dabbing of the eyes thing when there are no tears – what’s that all about? Dean’s ‘icepick through the head’ thing looks more like he’s pissed off and badly hungover and just wants everyone to go away.

I do feel bad for Tori. For being cheated on. What I don’t understand is displaying it for the world to see. Yes, it could help someone but all it does is show that she’s trying to justify to the world why she may stay and draw more attention to herself.

Which he will show by settling into his half life and losing his fortune, humbling him and making him chant ‘Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo’ behind his couch every day, thinking maybe, somehow I’lll come back to him. Maybe, if he re-thinks every single atrocious thing he ever said and did to me, and spends the entire day thinking about ‘remedies’ as they say in court, but just for me. Just remedies for me. That would be all he lived for. But that’s never going to happen. So: I want him to fail, miserably. And be stuck in a room with his dick and his porn and his coke and his brother and their egos.

Though it’s worth noting that Sandy could have seen trouble coming.

Dude also has a loooooooong trail of civil lawsuits against him and huge regulatory fines for how he runs his businesses.

The place is chock full of narcissists going to Narcissist U their whole lives. Sandra may need to fix her picker (as do I) but she rolled out of that scene, settled out of S. California, and has focused on being a single mother. I can only speak for myself in saying that I can see why his talent, really a form of artistry, might have been an attraction. There were less dramatic but no less evident sign of fuckedupness in the Jackass but I was not looking at those things. Whether the hollowness of the cheater is packaged in a tattoed bad boy married to a porn star or the former prom king pretending to be a nice guy, if you’re a Chump you got fooled both by what they said and also by a faulty picker…

Worst acting evah, Dean. Love your review, CL.
One observation in response to a comment here: I think it is possible to grow a conscience, or perhaps it’s reconnecting with the conscience one has lost…but the person has to want to regain the lost moral compass or want to find it in the first place. Doesn’t seem that the Spellings know it’s even missing…

Another observation: it really is amazing what some people will do to be “famous” — no shame, indeed! Geez, I used to be an actor, and never would I want to display my “reality” like the Spellings, Kardashians, et al. Total Narc-TV.

From reading Brene Brown, I think they got the language wrong. Chumps are champions of shame. Feelings that we didn’t do the pick me dance well enough, that we “made” our cheater cheat, that we are not enough. I was a self-shame pro in my time, and the ex encouraged it as shamed chumps will keep serving up that cake.

What we hope our cheaters feel is guilt. Guilt is the knowledge that you did something wrong. I have no guilt, because I have done nothing to feel guilty about. I kept my vows and honored my marriage.

My ex told me he didn’t want to be married anymore while we were sitting in Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf a couple weeks before Christmas. There were definitely no tears in his eyes, though he denied having OW. The next morning he texted everyone we knew, announcing that we had separated and asking for their prayers as we “started this new road in our lives.” Not much remorse or tears there. It was five months before I could move out of our house, during which I got such gems as: “I have some good memories of our marriage, but now it’s just a business deal that is over,” “You aren’t going to rape me in this divorce,” and a complex scheme where I would basically trust that he was going to give me support money, so no need for anything official. Believe me, there were no tears from him, no shame and no remorse.

Six months later, he wanted to reconcile so I could financially support him while he built up his “acting career.” For eight months, it was nonstop abuse. He accused me of tearing the family apart, said it was all my fault that he was broke, said he would have tremendous resentment towards me if the house foreclosed, said I was a terrible person for having moved out of our house, and when I reminded him of WHY I had moved out, he went into extreme rage, screaming “Fuck you!! Fuck you!” at me over and over again. Raged at me that I was “raping him and stabbing him in the back” when I was embarrassed that he paid two little girls to pretend to recognize him and ask him for his autograph out in a crowded public place. He would send me emails that he had written at 3 AM listing all the ways I had disappointed him the day before. On and on. I finally had enough when he said he saw no reason to work on the marriage, since I insisted he needed a day job. Not once during this hellish “reconciliation” were there any tears from him, any remorse, any actual apology or anything other than abuse towards me, gaslighting, blame and anger.

And in the nearly three years since then, there is STILL periodic rage and abuse from him, though it’s become infrequent, thank God. This is the guy who texted me that he should have added “LOL” to the end of his marriage vows, after all. Not much in the way of remorse, tears or shame in him. There never was, and there never will be.

But if he ever has an icepick through his head, that would be just fine with me.

Contrast against the out of the blue: I never stopped loving you.. I now realize what I lost. I wish you could accept that I change. I.I.I.I….. then the raging response of my ruining his life when I don’t respond.

FIFTEEN FUCKING YEARS and I’ve literally had months/years of not hearing from him to be bombarded out the blue with this nutcase BS. Our children are adults. I’ve been remarried for 9 years. And XH has had two more ex-wives that I’m aware of….

don’t hold your breath.

Oh geez, that is really scary. I have never received an “I never stopped loving you” text from my ex, or anything even remotely close. His texts are getting further and further apart these days, thank God. But every once in awhile, I still get a blast of his craziness. Or he does something nuts like give my suitcase (that I had loaned to our son) away to some friend of his. He recently heard from our son that my mom is in the hospital, and he texted me to ask if she would like a visit from him. Good Lord, that would have killed her.

Haven’t read all of the posts yet, and prepared to get scathing responses for part b. Part a first. Dean-O really can’t discern whether he’s sorry he cheated or got caught?! Are you kidding? What more is there to say–except he keeps using his meltdowns for both of them to come to his rescue, which is so annoying and really cheap. How many times is he going to use that card? “Migraine?!” “T” can’t do it, he’ll break from his own shame that he doesn’t really have! Suicidal ideation? It will destroy her! She can’t go on! But she also can’t forgive him, ever. For what she never thought would happen but always expected. And when did recovery make people look homeless? I mean c’mon Dean, the sauce is way too watery and you need a damn shave. Ok: start stoning, part b: I think Monica is creepy and I haven’t read the news today. But…I think she got a bad rap, I don’t like her goofy blue stained Gap dress adoring smile style. But I can’t work up the same steam for her at that age, working for the president of the United States, given her damage. This might be my last post here. I’m not a cheater. But given those surreal bizarre circumstances I might’ve blown the president too. He’s not my type, but I just might have.

Hey Sara — I met Clinton twice (not bragging, it was work related, i.e., I was working the events both times) and I can tell you that the man’s charisma was substantial. I always felt for Monica, given the circumstances surrounding her affair with him. That is to say, I felt for 22-year-old her. But she’s a grown woman now, and seems to have learned nothing. I take issue with the way the grown woman is continuing to exploit and profit from the actions of the young woman she was, and the mistakes she made. All I want to hear from her is “Hillary 2016. I’m horribly sorry. You’ll hear nothing from me other than what I did was horribly wrong, I take full responsibility for what I did, and vote for Hillary.” This is not a scathing response, in other words. I think she behaved terribly but I also think she was taken advantage of. How she’s chosen to grow from that — or not grow from it — is what I take issue with.

Bill Clinton has buckets of charisma, and yes, I do believe that it’s an abuse of power for a boss to screw around with a subordinate. Even if the subordinate wants to say no, it’s hard because of real or imagined repercussions. If the boss sparkles as much as Bill Clinton, it’s doubly hard.

I liked Clinton as President. I didn’t like him as a serial cheater. Lewinsky reminded me of some of the staffers I met while interning for a governmental body. My agency had a lot of back stairs gossip about one woman who made a hobby of fucking every single powerful man in that agency. I thought that Lewinsky was part of that same ilk.

Interestingly enough, so is the OW in my case. She’s a skanky ho, a 40-something woman with tons of baggage–both emotional and physical. She boasts of how sexy she was when she was a teenager (but misses out on the part about being knocked up by age 18?). She slept with every man in management in STBX’s company. Most were happy with the one-night stand. STBX seems to think he’s special.

Still, as much as OW is a predator, STBX is more culpable. He was her boss. Regardless of who made the first move, the power dynamics were such that she’d have a good case against him if she so felt like it. Also, she’s not married. It’s wrong of her to make a pass at a married man, but it’s more wrong for the married man to catch the pass and run for the goal.

Sara – I rather agree with your part B. Yes, she was very young and he WAS her boss. That’s an abuse of power and the presidential machine protected him and, along with that, the media just skewered her with shame shame shame on you, Monica. I don’t recall the creep ever once showing remorse on national t.v. Just some gobbildy-goop about what ‘is’ IS. He even dissed her by saying ‘that woman’. Never once did he say he shouldn’t have taken advantage of a young intern. Jesus. Where was his comeuppance in all this? He remained president despite being an immoral jerk. She did pay a huge price for her stupidity but enough is enough. I understand she hasn’t been able to get a decent job since and Mr.Clintfuck is out getting millions doing public speaking. I think it’s time she did write a book and get some money out of his philandering, not that I agree one iota what she did was right. And, I don’t like her timing either with our hero Hilary running – but that shouldn’t affect her from winning! Go Hill!

I do see your point, as 22-year olds are not fully developed intellectually, emotionally or spiritually. And I know a woman who worked for Clinton and she said he is very powerful when he turns on the charm (she, thankfully, was smarter than Monica, and more professional). But persephone below makes a great distinction. Clearly, based on current behavior, she shows herself to be a total opportunist, a user, willing to take another shot at a woman to whom she already has done terrible damage. So that makes me less sympathetic to her younger self, which is just the early version of the interpersonally exploitive person she is today.

Now I agree even more with myself. Take her at those developing years and carefully weave in the roots of narcissistic damage within her particular drama–given her genetics, personality and whatever results she got from expensive, ineffective psycho therapy. What would you reasonably expect or want her to do, projecting as little of your own story onto Monica–hard in any situation because we’re always going to be Us. She did one reality show apologizing for the first era of blunders and I suspect we may see another some years down the line. It’s the insulting timing to Hilary we’re taking exception to? Maybe it’s more that I disagree “Monica has grown into a young woman with choice now.” How does anyone know that? By these standards I should be stoned to death for suffering profound depression long after the damage has been done.

I’m with you on the Monica thang. I was an idiot when I was 22 – I think getting screwed over by Linda Tripp was a bigger life lesson for her than the affair. I think that was her karma bus hitting her hard. I watched these relationships play out in a big corporation when I was in my early 20s – the men liked the young ass, the girls liked getting close to power & everyone loved the titillation. It was such a cliche. Rules of engagement in the workplace need to be taught in school – it’s taboo and it shouldn’t be, ignoring it makes it acceptable, Hollywood makes it sooooo cool.

My h is stupid, he didn’t pick young and nubile from work, he went for the married dirty pillowcase. Ho hum. So he screwed up his (and our) life with a skank for whom he felt nothing – he even managed to screw up screwing around. I do derive joy from his immense shame due to trading down. Now he gets to fire her. Dumbasses, both of them.

Yeah, Monica was a young, loyal, female democrat, who found herself in the Oval Office. It was no doubt a big ego thrill as an intern. Everyone knows Clinton was/is a womanizer; he has tremendous charisma and ego. He probably flirted with her, she was flattered. He himself admitted that he did it because in his words, “he could.” Entitled much? And he did. And she did. If you were going to tell all (again) and didn’t give a fig about anything, because your reputation is kaput, it is no wonder she is doing it now. In the end it will still be a win-win for Hillary as she is adept at spin, “what difference does it make?” The press will just make it out as poor Hillary being harassed by that opportunist slut! But read between the lines: plenty of fault to go all around.

Meh. Monica’s current situation is all hers to own.

Monica is an opportunist slut. Clinton is a serial cheater. A very married serial cheater. Just because he flirted with her didn’t mean she had to flirt back. She could have smiled, been polite and inwardly been flattered, but allowed it to go no further.

The fact that she ended up with a dirty dress is completely on her. Just because you’re offered cake doesn’t mean you have to eat it.

Is Bill Clinton a skeevy man whore? Yep.

But if she wasn’t a slutty opportunist, she would be joining with us calling some other chick a white house whore from the comfort of her cushy office job instead of giving interviews about dirty dresses decades later hoping for a quick buck because she’s broke.

Here’s why Monica can suck balls:

Her quote,” It was a consensual relationship. Any abuse came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position.” She reacts to Clinton white house papers that quote, Hillary Clinton, calling her a narcissistic looney tune. “Courageous or foolish. But narcissistic and looney? I find her impulse to blame the woman, not only me, but herself, troubling.”

So let’s recap:
1. She was in a “consensual relationship” (even though it involved basically blow-jobs and cigars) with a married man. Married man . . . what the WHAT?! I guess the fact that he was the most powerful man on the planet overrode the fact that he was married.

2. “I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position.” Boo-fucking-hoo. The only reason she was even attracted to him was BECAUSE he was the President. She wouldn’t have fucked him if he worked at Honest Bob’s Gas station. She got exactly what she deserved.

3. “Courageous or foolish. But narcissistic and looney? I find her impulse to blame the woman, not only me, but herself, troubling.”

This right here makes me nauseous. You don’t get to pull the feminist card after fucking another woman’s husband. If you had any kind of value in “the sisterhood”, you would have kept your panties on. Secondly, there’s nothing “courageous” about fucking a married man. I’d say it’s easier than falling off a log.

4. I can’t stand this bitch’s laugh. It sends me into instant migraine.

There you go. Reasons Monica Lewinsky can go run out into oncoming traffic. And don’t fall for that excuse that she was young and impressionable. She was smart enough to be a White House intern, so she’s smart enough to know right from smarmy fucked up behavior.

Yay Girl Power! 🙂

Why would Hillary not blame Lewinsky? There is no sisterhood with the OW, ever. I have worked around “powerful” men since my early twenties (I’m now in my late 50’s) and have never once been tempted to give one of them a random bj. It takes a certain type of fame whore to chase after a high profile married man. Not to give Mr. Clinton a pass, but for Lewinsky to drag Hillary into the mud is certainly a reflection of Lewinsky’s character and values.

TBH, I really believe the Clintons have an open marriage agreement but due to politics they cannot say that. It’s the only thing that makes sense to me given what’s happened over the years and Hilary’s reaction to it all. I happen to think she kicks ass, that doesn’t mean she is a monogamish person. And as far as I’m concerned if a couple is OK with an open marriage then I’m OK with it. Don’t forget, Monica literally swore an affidavit that she didn’t have any relations with Clinton during the Paula Jones case. It was Linda Tripp who recorded her “friend” and delivered them to Starr. I believe if Tripp hadn’t done that, no one would ever have known a thing about the affair except Monica and the Clintons.

I don’t buy it. One of the things I dislike about Hilary Clinton is the way she dealt with all this. She blamed the OWs and called them names, even in a case where a woman was accusing Bill Clinton of harassing them.

Hilary Clinton did not leave and get a life. She stayed so that she could have the power and benefits of being a wife. I don’t see that as being a kick-ass person at all.

I don’t think the other Presidents who have cheated are any kind of excuse for Bill Clinton either. Kennedy was horrible – his wife was miserable and he treated women like trash. Eleanor Roosevelt was extremely upset when she found out after FDR’s death that his affair had continued – she had given him a chance to divorce her but he decided not to for the sake of his political career. She had done a lot for him, between nursing him through his illness and supporting him as President.

I guess the best we can say is that people may do good in one area, but be horrible morally in another.

I would give Lewinsky a bit of an excuse for being young and stupid when she had the affair, but her behavior since then puts her in a terrible light. She keeps coming back to get money and publicity.

And I think every Chump has to look at how much of his or her life the cheater and the APs get to take. Hillary will never get past the Lewinsky mess. There is no getting to “meh” when your husband’s cheating becomes a Presidential impeachment. What she does do is go on about living her own life and keeping her own personal life very personal. Not a whiff of scandal about how she conducts her own intimate life. She’s not the first person to trade sexual and emotional fidelity for something she finds more valuable or important.

Poor Eleanor Roosevelt probably had it the worst of all the Chumpy First Ladies.

FDR’s mistress Lucy Mercer was with the President the DAY HE DIED in 1945. Worst of all—FDR’s daughter Anna condoned his affair and even arranged for her father to spend time with his Mercer when he was away from the White House. When FDR had his “terrific headache” and fell unconscious (and died an hour or so later), Mercer quickly packed her bags and fled the house, as instructed by Anna.

Eleanor later found out that her husband was with his mistress on the day of his death AND that their meetings were arranged by her own daughter, thus she felt doubly betrayed. Anna, mind you, wasn’t some gawky teenager who was unknowingly complicit in her father’s infidelity. She was by then a grown woman in her late 30s who went out of her way to arrange for her father to meet with Mercer.

That said, Anna and Eleanor eventually reconciled and Anna cared for her mother in her final years. Still, her complicity in FDR’s cheating is pretty shitty.

While we’re not talking about it, what about Carl Jung? He made his wife take the ow in, they were the First Two Wives. But it was somehow accepted, because the guy was an anti Semitic genius who changed the face of psychotherapy and had copy rights to myth and synchronicity. The only flack he got was from Freud, because he wanted her for himself or was out of cocaine, I don’t remember. Or maybe it was penis envy. Carl and the gals went on picnics together (of course his wife cooked for all of them).

Labioplasty. Penis envy made me think of it. I thought it was a joke at first, when I saw an advertisement for Dr. Alter–real name, media vag reconstructor and surgical gender bender. Wonder what FredenJunge would have to say about Woman’s Search For Her Pussy. Or Woman’s Search For Man’s Pussy.

FDR had several, including one long-term affair (His wife had one with another woman–batting my eyelashes).

I think George Herbert Walker Bush had one before he was President.

Ronald Reagan’s first wife, Jane Wyman was married to somebody else when they began having an affair. She would later cheat on him. This was all when he was an actor, and the closest he came to politics was the actor’s guild.

LBJ Openly cheated throughout his marriage. It is rumored that he bragged “He had had more women by accident than Kennedy had on purpose”.

Jimmy Carter “lusted in his heart” , bless his heart 🙂

Warren G Harding made Bill Clinton look like Jimmy Carter. He was fond of poaching the wives of “friends” among his many other “dalliances”.

James Garfield had at least two affairs his wife found out about.

Woodrow Wilson had an affair with some woman in Bermuda while married to his first wife.

Nice deconstruction. Don’t forget Thomas Jefferson and his affair with one of his slaves.

LBJ, love him as much as I do, was a lecherous pig, worst than Kennedy.

Carter’s “lusted in his heart” remark was pretty poignant considering that he was a hardcore Southern Baptist. To them, thinking about cheating on your wife is just as bad as doing it.

I’ve read up on the Reagan/Wyman marriage and guess what—the Gipper was a Chump just like us. When Wyman cheated on him and left him, poor Ronnie sought counsel with friends and told everyone who would listen that Wyman was going to come back to him. She just needed to “find herself.” Of course, everybody knew that their marriage was over.

I’m not a fan of Reagan but in terms of his personal life he definitely found a happy ending when he married Nancy. Wyman, on the other hand, went through two more marriages and spent her remaining years alone.

Yes, many presidents have had affairs. And Clinton has had other affairs (Gennifer Flowers? + more), but people only seem to be mad about Monica.

My beef? Quite a few people seem to be just as mad at Clinton for banging an ugly woman, as they are mad that he’s a liar and cheat. They incredulous as to why, of all the OW in the whole USA, he chose one who is so unattractive, unaccomplished, and unlikable in every sense.

I’ve always assumed he was having multiple women. Monica was just there and convenient and eager (she said she started it by offering to show him her thong – which is basically offering to show him her naked butt). I don’t think she’s bad-looking, though.

I don’t think she bad-looking, either, but this is something I’ve heard again and again in the media, it’s definitely a “thing” that people are disappointed more by Clinton “slumming” with Lewinsky, as opposed to being mad that he cheated in the first place.

I imagine that Mary Jo Eustace is sitting at home with popcorn watching this and laughing her head off.

Then again, back in January she told People, “I wish Dean only the best in his struggle to overcome the demons he has been wrestling with for many years, so he can become the father and the man I know he wants to be.”

I think he just wants to eat cake and get kibbles and make some money. Blergh!

I havent read Monica’s Vanity Fair article, but when I first heard it was coming out, my thought was that Hillary asked Monica do this to get it all aired out before the campaign begins, so by the time it does, it will be old news again. I think Hillary is campaign/politically savvy enough to be planning strategically to diffuse negatives from her past. And I think Monica might be willing to help. I am not a Conspiracy Theorist kind of gal, just what I thought when I heard about it.

Yeah, but their timing is off and no one will care about what Bill was up to an eon ago. When he got elected the first time, it was well known that he was a womanizer; one of my best friends was a journalist at the time of his campaign and talked to many Democrats who worried about a literal explosions of skanks coming out. And as they often are, Republicans are off in their assessment of the Dem electorate at the national level especially women, which are a critical Dem demographic. Hillary won’t be hurt by what Bill did or what Monica says. It will backfire. She hasn’t done anything wrong and women will know that. This is not me taking political sides, by the way. I don’t have a dog in this fight. I’ve studied media and elections; it’s just how dirty tricks and countertricks will play out. They are trying to deny her the nomination but that won’t depend on dirty tricks but rather where the money lines up. So far, no one else is in the game.

I do think in light of everything Monica doesn’t make a public move without a whole slew of advisors – no way was this her call.

THIS is the kind of man or woman we need in the White House again:

Harry Truman stated that he would never knowingly hire a person who had cheated on his wife. When he was asked why, he said, ‘You know, if a man will lie to his wife, he’ll lie to me. And if he’ll break his oath of marriage, he’ll break his oath of office.’ It’s hard to argue with President Truman’s logic. Can you trust a man who lies to his wife or breaks his marital oath? I don’t think so. Public officers take an oath to uphold the Constitution, to uphold the law of the land. Well, when you get married, you take an oath to be faithful in sickness and in health, in poverty and wealth, till death do us part; in adultery, you’ve broken that oath.”

I cannot think of any argument to top Truman’s logic.

As far as we know Hilary was a faithful wife in the sexual sense. And in that sense appears to have “done nothing wrong.” Having done nothing wrong in her career, is a highly debatable topic. She was an incompetent Secretary of State and she lies. (Think Benghazi).

She also appears able to selectively abandon her alleged feminism when it suits her personal political purposes. No real feminist is going to stay married to a grandiose narcissist who is a serial cheater and woman abuser. I don’t even believe she is really a “chump.” Her husband was and is a political tool for her. As for her to call Lewinsky a “narcissist looney tune?” All I have to say is that it takes one to know one.

To be OBJECTIVE, datdamwuf, that is totally a two way street. BOTH factions dig and dish dirt with equal fervor and relish. If they focused a fraction as much of their attention on trying to find real solutions to the nation’s problems, their responsibilities to the people, and on understanding and upholding The Constitution of the United States, we’d all be better off. But politics and big government breed narcissists and sociopaths like the carcass of a deal elephant breeds maggots.

(Sorry if this sound like a foreign language lesson, I’ve taken on learning German as a very part-time hobby. Hopefully I got the concept behind this word right)

Just seems like cheating and adultery, especially among the famous, is a push for instant gratification. They take what’s good now instead of working toward something better later with who they’re with. “Till death do us part” no longer matters until cheaters have felt that they’ve sufficiently “upgraded”. In German there’s a word some of you may have heard – “Schweinhund”, which literally means “pig-dog”. It is used as a metaphor for things like gluttony, selfishness, or temptation – “You need to overcome your inner Schweinhund.” This word can also be used as an insult – You can tell a cheater or the AP “You are a Schweinhund.”

So, overcome your inner Schweinhund, and keep away from cheating Schweinhunds!

I am so amazed that they are playing this out on tv. This is Jon and Kate plus 8 all over again. Is there nothing in life more important than the almighty dollar? Do not any of these couples that play this game to the tabloids realize that their children will, at some point in time, be privy to all of this? If you can’t stay loyal and faithful to your spouse, why, oh why, do you bring children into it and then get paid to play your life out on tv? I feel so badly for all of these children who have to grow up and go to school where children can and will be cruel. Shame on these two for airing this where everyone will know. I guess when the dollar is involved nothing is off the air.

In many years my greatest hope is for their children to recognize that their parents were disordered but did the best job they could in loving them. Their children will always love them but I hope they will be more healthy than mine were coming out of their cheater father’s abandonment (and mine were in their late teens and early twenties). It surely is a mindfuck. Their beginning, middle, and end, which will come. The best thing about all this televised drama is that we can actually learn something from this. How easy is it to recognize what’s his name is not actually remorseful. None of our spouses were. For too long in my marriage I made tons of excuses for my ex. Why wasn’t my life happy with him? Clearly reality tv reflects many relationships and plays with the truth. I did that in my marriage. To excuse the crap I lived with but couldn’t quite place my finger on. I hope the next generation will get it right.

‘Their children will always love them’ – not necessarily so. Teens and adults who can recognize the total self-centeredness of highly narcissitic parents often do manage to stop loving them, stop yearning and working for the narc’s attention, approval and love, and move on to putting their love where it’s deserved.

And I’m very glad of that!

I’m betting that even more than the money they’ll make, this is about the attention they get, the kibbles. ‘Cause both of them are clearly screaming narcissists.

And that is why they bring their kids into this hot televised mess. THEY DO NOT CARE about anyone else, including their own kids.

I’ll tell ya, when I get to be god, people’ll need a license to have children, and I get to decide who gets one and who doesn’t.

The most telling thing about Dean’s little act here is that instead of acknowledging how awful this (supposedly) is for Tori and how much pain she must be in because of what he’s done, he makes it all about him and his poor cheating head. When Tori gets upset at his “distress” he doesn’t give a toss – it’s still all about him and his “pain”.

To sum up – it’s all about Dean, all the time. He’s a terrible actor, but an excellent narc & cheater.

It annoys me that the therapist doesn’t call him out for this – but I guess telling Tori to ‘”eave a cheater & gain a life” doesn’t rate well on TV. The show would be over in one episode. She is chump wannabe just for the sympathy vote/payday.

As for Monica – she made a gigantic mistake in her twenties that she’s never learned a single thing from. Maybe if she’d worked as hard on improving her character as she has on her studies, someone would be willing to employ her.

I still find it suspect that the chick is gone. TMZ told me so it must be true. There’s another woman by that name who has to tell everyone that she’s not the hewer Dean presumably poked. But why wouldn’t his side dish have any googleability or trace of social profile, friends to defend her? No one can even get a picture of the sweet tart. Maybe he’s cheated but no one cares and it’s all about publicity. Maybe they had a threesome and it’s transformed their marriage. Or maybe he’s never cheated on Tori but they decided that it would get better ratings than his Glue Sniffing addiction so they’re cleverly arcing this fanciful plot as his recovery beard. Far fetched? A little teched? And what’s up with 4 episodes–was that all the station would buy? Who knows, I’ll still watch!

The look on his face is all, “Ok, what do I have to say to make the sound of her voice, which is like an ice pick in my brain, go away.”

And Tori’s all, “I wonder if I look cute when I cry riiiiiiiight…NOW. My feelings!”

And the therapist is all, “I bet I look pretty and super professional on camera. Like, you HAVE? to talk about your fillings.”

These people are VULGAR.
