Nina Burleigh, a reporter, briefly became a household name for an odd reason: she offered to give President Clinton a blow job.

Burleigh’s offer came after the Monica Lewinski story broke, and presidential kneepads were all the rage. Burleigh, a feminist whose concern for sexual harassment victims evaporated once a liberal president was accused, was quite clear about her priorities: Bill Clinton did everything he could to ensure that she and other women could dispose of inconvenient babies, so he deserved to be serviced by women at request.

Nina Burleigh, who covered the White House for Time, makes the confession in a Mirabella magazine essay on Clinton’s attractiveness to women. It is a candid discussion of her feelings while playing hearts with the president and aide Bruce Lindsey in the plane’s front cabin last year.

“The president’s foot lightly, and presumably accidentally, brushed mine once under the table,” Burleigh writes. “His hand touched my wrist while he was dealing the cards. When I got up and shook his hand at the end of the game, his eyes wandered over to my bike-wrecked, naked legs. And slowly it dawned on me as I walked away: He found me attractive.”

She adds: “I probably wore the mesmerized look I have seen again and again in women after they have met him. The same silly hypnotized gleam was displayed on the cover of Time magazine in Monica Lewinsky’s eyes.”

In an interview, Burleigh, now a New York freelancer, said she in no way felt harassed or pressured by the president but that it was “not unusual for women” to swoon over him. What is unusual, for a journalist, is Burleigh’s sexually charged declaration of support for Clinton. “I’d be happy to give him {oral sex} just to thank him for keeping abortion legal,” she said.

But Burleigh says she was not “going easy on him” as a White House correspondent in 1993 and 1994, when she sometimes wrote about the Whitewater scandal, and never thought about his looks at the time. By last year she was a Time contract writer, filling in on the trip to Jasper, Ark.

“No doubt the president’s lawyers and spin doctors would say I wishfully imagined that long, appreciative look,” she writes. “But we all know when we’re being ogled. . . . I felt incandescent. It was riveting to know that the president had appreciated my legs, scarred as they were. If he had asked me to continue the game of hearts back in his room at the Jasper Holiday Inn, I would have been happy to go there and see what happened.” The Monthly’s Mistake

Burleigh has apparently become more prudish over the years, perhaps due to the huge dry cleaning bills she has wracked up servicing pro-choice men. I wouldn’t know, not being in that particular category of douchebags. Because today, 25 years later, Burleigh is very worried that people don’t care enough about the fact that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was a womanizer in his youth.

Burleigh shares her moral concerns about Kennedy’s promiscuousness in The New Republic. Way, way back in the day I was a subscriber to The New Republic and even enjoyed reading Mort Kondrake and Fred Barnes. That was more than 30 years ago, though, and I haven’t read an issue in decades, because it is mostly trash now.

They will even publish tripe from Nina Burleigh, which tells you what you need to know about its quality.

Feminist writers, such as the terrific political journalists Rebecca Traister and Michelle Goldberg, have written extensively about Bobby Junior but not about his history with women. (Traister mentioned the issue in one sentence in a New York magazine cover article.) Even The New York Times, winner of a well-earned Pulitzer for the #MeToo Harvey Weinstein takedown, produced a story about Kennedy’s current wife, beloved Larry David co-star Cheryl Hines, apparently without asking about the elephant in the room. The Times published a standard-issue political wife article with no mention of the sordid side. “And it seems clear he will need Ms. Hines,” the Times wrote, “who is in the unique position of being more recognizable to some voters than her candidate husband, to help soften his image for those put off by his crusade against vaccines and history of promoting conspiracy theories, such as the false narrative that Bill Gates champions vaccines for financial gain.”

While her husband raves about the United States pushing “the Ukraine” into war, Hines has always stayed on message. “We share the same values. Family first,” she told the New York Post before they got married.

Burleigh’s squeamishness about Kennedy’s womanizing would seem a bit odd since he too is pro-choice, until you realize that Burleigh is the epitome of MSM power lust. Her concern isn’t morality, ethics, decency, or truth.

It’s proximity to power, and the closer the better. As we know, she likes her power up close and very personal.

Still, one would think that self-awareness alone would prevent a journalist famous almost exclusively for fantasizing about fellating a married man as payment for services rendered from using prudishness as an explanation for why RFK Jr. shouldn’t be allowed near the White House.

One would be wrong, though. Burleigh doesn’t have to worry about appearing to be a hypocrite because everybody else in the MSM is one too, so it is only old guys like me who have paid attention to politics for decades who even remember her disgusting offer to Clinton.

If you have been paying attention to Burleigh and her colleagues, it shouldn’t surprise you that they are as a class nothing but fluffers for powerful Democrats.

Burleigh just more literally so than others.
