"Usually every woman who comes in cries."
Brian Lewinsky was anticipating a busy day at the "Blue Dress Museum".
"I think it's important, and so does my sister, that this story not be forgotten," said Lewinsky.
This morning, the Blue Dress Museum, or rather the mobile version of it, is in Livonia, Michigan.
"We want to be at the center of all the debates," said Lewinsky.
Lewinsky was referring to himself and the famous stained Blue Dress, which is in a special temperature controlled case.
"Have you seen the case for the Declaration of Independence, in DC?" asked Lewinsky. "Same company designed this case. It can withstand a 20 megaton nuclear blast, and is fire and waterproof."
The case was lighted, and it fully illuminated the blue dress worn by Monica Lewinsky that fateful day when President Clinton attended to his duties in the Oval Office.
"Did you want to see the DVD?"
Lewinsky pressed a button on the dashboard and the DVD began on a plasma screen. "We have a large one we mount on the side of the motor-coach too. It's a crowd grabber," said Lewinksy.
What does his sister, Monica Lewinsky, think?
Lewinsky was excited. "She loves the idea. You know, today is the 10th anniversary of Matt Drudge breaking the story." There were moans and screams and the sounds of a man calling out 'god, god'. Lewisnky smiled. "Don't worry. My sister reenacted her part in this, sounds and all. President Clinton declined to add his vocals, so we got Dana Carvey. Phil Hartman was the best at imitating President Clinton, but for some reason he, like Vince Foster, is dead."
Dana Carvey, the comedian, usually imitated George Herbert Walker Bush, but he agreed to attempt President Clinton.
"Carvey felt like it was his civic duty. And he got a little help from my sister," Lewinksy added slyly, and winked.
This last comment went untouched.
"Mrs. Clinton is expected to tour the exhibit," said Lewinsky. "Barrack Obama has. Mitt Romney too. So did Rudy. Rudy wanted to know where he could get a dress just like it. He thinks he might get more action from the Donald with blue." Lewinksy was referring to the now famous Youtube video showing Rudy Giuliani in a purple dress, obviously not his color.
Lewinksy unfolded a table top and produced a model of the Oval Office, complete with little figures.
"These are the Secret Service guys just outside the Oval Office Door," said Lewinsky. "When you hear the 'Oh god, Oh god', they tried to break the door down.
Did they think President Clinton was in danger?
"No," said Lewinksy. "They knew my sister."
Later in the day Lewinsky commented on Senator Clinton's quick tour of the exhibit.
"She cried," said Lewinsky. "But she did wait until the news cameras showed up."
Betty Jean Wynette, a Michigan voter, was waiting in the long line to see the Blue Dress. "She stood by her man," she said. "That's okay, sometimes. But sometimes it's better to kneel."
