She was an intern in the Clinton White House for crying out loud! That kind of experience should open the doors for all kinds of careers: Vegas escort, niche porn and blowjob educator, just to name a few.
Real-world experience like that shouldn’t be squandered on graduate school and entrepreneurial endeavors.
Nowadays, notoriety can make a name worth a lot of money. There may be financial reason not to change the name.
Maybe if she got married she could change her last name and people would stop harassing her? How does Monica Amigo sound?
[OT] There was a time when the people of these Great United States would have thought it unthinkable that an unambiguous Office Space quote could go unnoticed by not just one, but by two posters. 'Tis a sad day to realize that PC Load Letter is as anachronistic as tying onions to our belts…
…too long for the credits. “Hoover Dam” maybe…?
People successfully change their names and avoid colourful pasts all the time. And tons of celebrities manage to stay out of the headlines and the tabloids.
She is seeking celebrity. She hasn’t changed her name for the same reason Kim Kartrashian didn’t change her name after the sex tape.
Every single pursuit she has attempted involved trading on her name, selling articles or purses, they all carried her name. Not an accident.
I think she wants to be like Kim K, wealthy and famous, while lacking any actual talent or gift.
ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease
Seriously, that woman is HOT.
I don’t assume that she is actually unhappy about the notoriety.
I strongly suspect she was a part of larger plan to embarrass Bill Clinton. (How did she get an internship at the White House???) And it’s still going on. Hence her return to the limelight just before Hillary runs for POTUS.
Good grief, she’s been showing up at events lately doing the red carpet pose.
This is not someone who is trying to avoid the spotlight. A name change is the last thing on her mind.
Monica Bobbitt?
Why doesn’t she change her name? Maybe she’d miss the glamour?
I was thinking more “Buttafuoco Lewinski.”
Actually, that gives me an idea for a new porn series, featuring Ms. Lewinski and Mr. Buttafuoco in the first episode: “Friends Forever: Joey Loves Monica.”
To be followed up by “Kato On Ice: The Kerrigan-Kaelin Lost Honeymoon Video.”
Wait, why can’t we have Linda Tripp doing porn? Because she’s ugly Both inside and out?
The Shire will Never be the same… 
Stalin?
Is this an actual conspiracy theory? (As in one of those kookie things supported by TimeCube-like websites, not a goofy idea in the back of your mind.)
The affair came to light because of a Gotcha-Ya obsessed special prosecutor who took a threadbare mandate to keep digging until he found something. That something that turned out to be wholly unrelated to the purpose his office was supposed to serve. It was dumb luck (and a lot of dumb other things) that it turned out to be a salacious scandal that the right could finally seize on in malignant triumph. The whole Benghazi circus that we’ve been subject too over the last couple years absolutely pales in comparison to the frantic witchhunts of the Clinton years.
When he was first elected I was a registered Republican. That policy-less charade was among the early demonstrations of the absolute amoral core of the party that started my shift to the Democrats.
I looked it up: it’s Samille. Samille Lewinsky is still too distinctive. She should do what her mother does and use Lewis as her professional surname. Monica Lewis is nicely anonymous.
Not that I actually believe she should change her name. Just an option if she wanted to.
She’s still alive.
What should she change it to? Bon-bon La Bouche?
Sounds like she blew it.
It’s oral she’s famous for, not the buttafuoco.
I don’t agree at all. I was given an absolutely atrocious last name at birth. (Personally, I consider it child abuse to force a disgusting name on a kid.) As soon as I was old enough, I changed it, and I would like to see even the memory of it wiped from the earth.
A person has the right to be called what they want. “Cassius Clay is his name for better or for worse” would never fly.
