No sympathy
and she's still a liar.
"A fish rots from the top, as they say, and there was a sense of, 'The rules don't apply to us. Anything goes,' " she said.
Trip said she felt it was her duty to come forward, once Lewinsky tried to enlist her help in covering up the affair from lawyers for Paula Jones, an Arkansas woman who had sued Clinton for sexual harassment.
"There seems to be the sense that I was a vast right-wing conspirator, yet, five years later, I think it should be clear I never took a cent, I never made a cent on the notoriety. I didn't write a book. It wasn't for self-enrichment," she said.
After Tripp came forward to give the recordings of her phone calls with Lewinsky to investigators for Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth Starr, details from her security file were leaked to the media, including an arrest as a teenager. Tripp, who by then had left the White House to work at the Pentagon, sued under the Privacy Act, which prohibits such disclosure.
First off, she attempted to peddle a book, but even Regnery said no, and as far her security file being leaked, Eric Alterman shot that story down weeks ago.
Two years ago, Tripp was diagnosed with breast cancer, which had spread to her lymph nodes. Her treatment included a lumpectomy, radiation and eight rounds of chemotherapy that she described as "pretty debilitating."
"The terror was emotionally difficult because I was so afraid that I'd put my children through so much with this Clinton thing, I didn't want to now leave them without a mom," she told King, in her first interview since being diagnosed. "I didn't think my kids were prepared not to have a mom on top of everything else."
The chemotherapy caused Tripp to lose her hair, which has now grown back in a dark brown color she was sporting on "Larry King Live," rather than the blonde locks familiar to Americans.
"I had frosted my hair for 30 years, so I didn't know what it looked like underneath," she said.
Wait till she gets a look at the color of her soul.....
