Monica mayhem may never end. The saga of Dartboard's favorite intern-turned-temptress reached new heights when a double-edged persona emerged on national TV Wednesday night...
...seeming quite at ease sitting on the couch opposite Barbara Walters, Lewinsky held her won for the extent of the two-hour discussion. She probably came off a little smarter than most of us expected her to be, but it was still a little eerie to see the intern, object of our president's affections and of the nation's disgust and ridicule for the last several months, giggling and chatting on national television.

Now, as she ponders a run for the Senate, I wonder, what will it take before the people of this land come to the same rather obvious conclusion about Hillary...
