So Ugly, I Scared Myself: Tripp
                   By DAVE GOLDINER   Daily News Staff Writer

                   Linda Tripp says she was "horrified" to discover how ugly she was when her
                   droop-jowled face was plastered across the nation during the Monica scandal.

                   "I didn’t realize how ugly I was until I saw the pictures," Tripp tells ABC’s "20/20"
                    in an interview airing tonight. "I was horrified as well as the rest of the nation, really."
                    Since the scandal, Tripp has had two facelifts, saying she found a better doctor for the
                    second operation after the first turned out to be a "complete disaster."

                   The woman America loves to hate said she was typecast as the villain of the White
                   House sex and lies scandal because she looked so bad.

                   "It was easier for the country to accept ‘evil,’ ‘manipulative,’ ‘betray,’ ‘villainous,’
                   ‘ominous,’ ‘odious,’ all those horrible words, if the photos matched the description," Tripp said.

                   Her two children also talked for the first time — and lashed out at the hilarious portrayals
                   of her mom, particularly actor John Goodman’s rendition on "Saturday Night Live."

                   Tripp branded Lewinsky — who she denied was ever her friend — a lovestruck "groupie"
                   who took advantage of her affair with Clinton and blabbed about it to colleagues and cab drivers.

                   "She was a pest," Tripp said. "I knew she was someone’s pet rock," she said in reference to
                   Lewinsky’s ties to a major Clinton political donor — ties that got her a job at the White House.

                   Tripp called Clinton an "equal-opportunity philanderer" and portrayed Hillary as a consummate
                    politician who knew about everything that went on.

                   "There’s not a thing Mrs.Clinton misses in the White House," Tripp said. "I don’t think that she
                   knew every time that Monica was on her knees in the study. But there came a point
                   in time when she was made aware, and then Monica was moved."
 

                  In all these years, the only name they have never called Hillary is "stupid."
                  Do you really think Hillary could be persuaded to go on the Today Show and blame
                  "the vast right-wing conspiracy" if she knew the truth about Monica?
 
                  Linder, even if you have 50 face lifts, you're still going to be exceedingly ugly.
                  Your hatred of all those around you will forever make you Linda the Pigg.
