Monica Lewinsky, in a statement released today, in response
to
President Clinton's testimony:
"I have had enough. This whole experience has left a bitter taste
in
my mouth, and I can't stomach any more. I feel as if I am getting
the
shaft, that this ugly matter has come to a head and blown up
in my
face.
"This may be a load to handle, but when things are hard, that
is when
I am at my best. I have faced hard things in the past, and I
know what
is coming. I will meet the challenge the only way I know how:
head-on.
"I have licked bigger things than this before, and I will again.
No one will ever be able to say that Monica Lewinsky isn't a
finisher, that she quit before the job was done. I will work
non-stop
and fight this, blow by blow, until I am wiped clean of this
dirty affair.
I will not be stained by it.
"Thank you."
Monica Lewinsky
