Charm Versus Money.

Lewinksy: I didn't have a reason ... if I remember correctly, I didn't really realize that there was anything on it

until I went to go wear it again ... ... I had shown the dress to Linda at that point and had just sort of said to her

... "Isn't this stupid?" Or, you know, "Look at this, isn't this gross?" Or whatever. I don't really remember exactly what I said.

And she told me that I should put it in a safe deposit box because it could be evidence one day. And I said that was ludicrous

because I would never - I would never disclose that I had a relationship with the president, I would never need it.

And then when Thanksgiving time came around and I told her that I was going to wear it for Thanksgiving, she told me I looked

fat in the dress, I shouldn't wear it. She brought me a jacket from her closet ... to try to persuade me not to wear the dress.

So I ended up not wearing it and then I was going to clean it. I took it with me up to New York and was going to clean it up there and then this broke.

Monica? Looked fat?! I don't believe it!

Clinton should have been busted with a hot starlet instead of a fat intern if he wanted to be compared to JFK.

I don't buy Lewinsky's bit about taking the soiled dress to NYC. Wouldn't most people travel with clean clothes in their luggage? I guess dry-cleaning must be that much cheaper in NYC than in DC. Uh-huh.
