Laterthat night, according to her testimony, she and the Presidentkissed. She unbuttoned her jacket; either she unhooked her braor he lifted her bra up; and he touched her breasts with hishands and mouth. Then he took a call from a Congressman whileshe performed oral sex on him.
As numbing and repetitive as any porn, the narrative is clinicaland sad, a recitation of furtive gropings and panickyzipping-ups between two profoundly needy people, one of whomhappened to be the leader of the free world.
Awestruck and infatuated though she may have been, Lewinsky wasa cool and precise recorder of every moment she spent withClintonβwhat they said and did, which Secret Service agentswere warily watching them come and go, which aides were shootingdaggers at her outside the Oval Office, which phone callsClinton took during their time together. Phone logs show Clinton spoke to sugarbaron Alfonso Fanjul that day. Lewinsky says that during threesexual encounters, Clinton was on the phone with Congressmen;during another, he took a call from his disgraced consultantDick Morris; in each case, phone logs bear out her account.
Lewinsky says she was performing a sex act on Clinton while hespoke to Alabama Representative Sonny Callahan. The lawmaker,aghast, says they were discussing American troops in Bosnia. The report paints a vivid and baffling picture of therelationship. After five sexual encounters, Lewinsky complainedto Clinton that they never talkedβIs this just about sex, ordo you have some interest in trying to get to know me as aperson?
Then, Lewinsky says, theemotional and friendship aspects began to develop. They talkedabout their childhoods, and Clinton told her she made him feelyoung again; Lewinsky dreamed of being by his side full timeafter his presidency.
