Linda Tripp Praises Obama's 'Purity of Soul'

We know where Bill Clinton is, but what in the world happened to the other players from the former president’s Monica Lewinsky scandal? Well, Ms. Monica went to study in London and hasn’t been heard from since. Literary agent Lucianne Goldberg, who helped break the story, has remained quiet for Lucianne Goldberg, and we’ve heard nary a peep from Linda Tripp.   That is, however, until wOw tracked her down to the Christmas Sleigh store which she owns in Middleburg, VA, with her husband.

With more than 1,300 products, the C. Sleigh, according to their website, specializes in handmade or handcrafted European wares. From mouth-blown and hand-painted ornaments, to handmade collector’s dolls, to nutcrackers, smokermen, hand-carved nativities, paintings and the most incredible selection of authentic and beautifully made Austrian "Trachten" clothing available in this country – the store seems to have it all. Walking into Linda Tripp’s shop is a walk back in time!

Speaking of which, back in time it was Linda Tripp who famously taped her then-“friend” Monica Lewinsky relaying her titillating adventures with the president. Interested in hearing what Tripp had to say of the recent election (yes, she’s a week late in returning our e-mail), Tripp relayed the following thoughts: "I am so very proud that as a nation we might finally be getting it right. I believe Sen. McCain is an American hero and a deeply honorable public servant, something one seldom sees in Washington. I also believe he could have been a strong president. That said, I believe President-elect Obama possesses an instantly recognizable purity of soul that, coupled with his brilliance, and, of course, his eloquence, brought quite unimaginable and long-awaited magic to the country, transforming red and blue states, quite literally, into ‘The Color Purple.’ I believe the entire country will stand behind him."

Thank you, Linda! Now we’ll wait for our nice Christmas tree bulb. Red or green is fine.

I’m still wondering why I’m supposed to care what she has to say. He >15 minutes of fame was ill-deserved (if she did in fact plan it), and even then her judgment proved to be less than even “good”. She showed herself to be shallow and self-serving…and her opinion of someone like Obama is worthy of reporting is…why???

Apparently she’s never read “The Color Purple”.

I especially love the touch where she owns a Christmas Store. I always wondered how those stores made a profit year-round. Really, hasn’t anyone else ever wondered that? Maybe in the summer she sells lawn chairs by the seashore.

A Christmas Store? Linda Tripp, the gift of friendship that keeps on giving. Just love it how she didn’t take sides in the election.

Ask Larry Sinclair about Obama’s ‘Purity of Soul’. One should be disconcerted to be seen as agreeing with the likes of Farrakhan: Tripp is as much a ‘Tool of the Elite’ as he is; as are Pelosi, Frank and Jesse Jackson. She’s a specialist in Distraction and Disinfo. And a surprisingly poor one. But it doesn’t take much to bamboozle The Public in 2008. Justin Stark

Could this have been written without referring to “mouth-blown…ornaments?” For some reason, something else comes to mind.

As long as Tripp is saying nice things about Obama and sucking up to the left, that’s cool. If not, she’s still a pig.

I don’t understand why she was even asked about Obama. Was it a slow news day?

I have always had a soft spot in my heart for Ms. Tripp. I have never met her, but I always felt so badly in the Mr. Bill’s pecadillo. The Media of the Left(Democrats) tried to fry this lady and she did not deserve it. She merely tried to protect Ms. Monica from what came from the media. For a while Monica’s family name became a word to identify oral sex. Ms. Tripp seems to, in my thoughts, as living that role of protector.

I wish people would stop talking to Linda Tripp. Go away, mind your own business. Nobody cares about you.
