Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!
Amy Goodman

Clinton and Packwood

Although the spotlight is on former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, other women have come forward to tell of sexual advances, both welcome and unwelcome, from President Clinton — Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, and according to the same source that leaked the Lewinsky story, a former White House aide named Kathleen Willey.

The allegations of these women, if true, point to a pattern of sexual misconduct, much like the one that led to the downfall of another pro-choice politician known for his professional support of women — former Oregon Senator Bob Packwood.

Joining us now on the line is Florence Graves, the reporter who broke the Packwood sexual misconduct story in the Washington Post, along with our guests professors Catherine MacKinnon and Linda Hirshman, and columnist Katha Pollitt.

Guest:

  • Florence Graves, reporter who broke the Bob Packwood sexual misconduct story in the Washington Post, founding editor of Common Cause magazine, currently a resident scholar at Brandeis University
