Lucianne Goldberg is a conservative literary agent who was an important player in the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandal because she urged Pentagon civil servant Linda Tripp to tape her conversations with Lewinsky about the president.
Goldberg’s role in the saga was resurrected by ABC in 2019 in a two-hour documentary called Truth and Lies, and she plays a key role in the new FX series, Impeachment: American Crime Story, which chronicles the saga of Lewinsky, Tripp, and the president.

I never understood why people felt they had to get news links from Drudge when they could get everything they really needed to know from Lucianne without the clutter. Now that Drudge has gone to the darkside there's no longer any excuse. This and Freerepublic have been my primary sources since they were first available mainly because they attract a better class of reader. Live long and prosper.

There are other sites for the latest headlines; our esteemed hostess has provided a forum for news and civilized discussion that is very hard to find anywhere else. Many blessings to you, dear Lucianne - and thank you.

Been with Lucianne since the turn of the century. Seen a great deal in that time. She was kind enough, also a while back, to send an Ldot pin to me. It's in a safe. I sincerely hope this continues into the future. She is a great lady.

I've been enjoying our Hostesses Salon for many, many years. In the early days I got some tough love for bringing a bit of the Saloon into the Salon. I've mellowed since then 😄😄

Many Conservatives have been 'social distancing' much of their lives. I'm not a joiner and I live way down the dirt road.
But......I have enjoyed the community of writers and thinkers graciously hosted by
Mz. Lucianne and her loyal staff.
I don't even know how many years I've been pontificating and saving the world through Mz. Lucianne's good offices but I am eternally grateful for all the highly opinionated and often erudite company.

I watched the first episode of the FX series, Impeachment. I was sorry to see it continued the same dem narrative that was constructed at the time. The Republicans were just waiting for an excuse to get Bill Clinton, and all the characters that weren’t Clintonistas were either crazy, stupid, petty, vengeful, or some combination of such. I adore the actress who plays Ms. Lucianne, but she was portrayed as a cold, calculating witch who was out to get anybody she could, just to sell a book. And for the kicker, Vince Foster really did kill himself. It just made me angry all over again.

Mrs. Goldberg please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your husband and son. And thank you for all you do to advance the conservative cause.
I've been posting on here since early 2000s and hate a day without at least one visit, it's usually multiple.

Amen to all commenters and my heartfelt thanks to our gracious hostess of this Salon who has insisted since the beginning that we mind our manners...which in recent years has become increasingly difficult! Lots of bloody tongue-biting going on, I'm sure.
Like many of you this site is my first click in the morning and more times during the day than I can count. An added note...I've donated frequently to ensure its continuance, but today I was restricted to only $50. What did I do wrong?
Love and appreciate all of you.

There are many blessings and pleasures in our world, along with the unpleasant parts. The Lucianne site is among the best blessings. Unique, ranking along with the late Rush.

If I may, I will tell you the first time I learned of Lucianne was during my daily listen of Rush. Unfortunately, The Maha Rushie was off that day. He had some motor-mouthed rube in the Attila the Hun chair. I seem to recall this rube was named Hawn Shannity or somesuch. Regardless, Ms. L announced to the world that she was hoping to see that rodham-klintoon beast do a perp walk in handcuffs out of the People's House. Immediately, I fell in love!
As soon as this site came on-line, I joined! In spite what some of her mods may argue, this site went on-line PRIOR to 2000! (Yes, I have argued with them about the inception date!) You may figure out that I am not a dimoRat liar by the Rush-related nym I selected. I have had the great fortune to have one or two little keyboard convos with Lady L. over the years.
The last thing I'll bore everyone with is that I am particularly proud of the fact that I've many **MANY** years on this orb and I ALWAYS VOTE! ...and have *NEVER* - *EVER* voted for a dimoRat!

My mom Deedles introduced me to this wonderful site during the Clinton years. Ms Lucianne sent Mom a wonderful email when I posted on here asking for prayer after she suffered a stroke. She eventually passed away in 2004. I love this forum and this lady! My Lucianne pin which I inherited from Mom is on my motorcycle vest. Thank you for being here for us all these wonderful years, Ms Lucianne!

I've been around here for about twenty years--I think. (Memory fails as we age.) Lucianne has been a rock all that time. As with others, this is the first site I check every morning to find out what's going on.
On a personal level, Lucianne provided invaluable assistance in launching my modest career as a political satirist back around the time Obama became president. I've thanked her privately for her help and here thank her publicly for believing in me and, along with Michael Walsh of Breitbart's bigjournalism.com, for giving me a forum to display my wares. I remain indebted to both.

Add my voice to the chorus of gratitude to Ms Lucy, this site and all of you. Been here long enough to recognize some of you as "virtual family"!! Going back a ways, but didn't we have a once a year recipe thread (baked whore squirrel anyone?) and a Virtual Christmas Party? Sure would like to resurrect those!

I first found this site around 1997. Spent way too many hours reading and posting. The names were different back then, but even when we disagreed the family remained. Back then we could directly address each other and we often did. I sometimes wonder whatever happened to some of the regulars, like Eagle1, Miasmom and JanineC.

Clarification: Michael Walsh was editor of bigjournalisn.com from 2010-2012. These days he writes columns for the New York Post and the Epoch Times, and he is a founder of the-pipeline.org, "dedicated to opposing the Environmentalist Movement's undermining of freedom and prosperity..." He is also the author of the recent "Last Stands: Why Men Fight When All Is Lost," a military history unlike no other that has won rave reviews.

I’ve been here forever also. Miss Lucianne is the best! I also think the most intelligent conservatives post here. I’ve learned a lot from them. I confess to being leery of Trump for president because I thought he would become a liberal once he won. Now, I’m so thankful he won and know he also won in 2020. What a mess we’re in now. I also miss some of the old posters like Stormcentr. She was always thoughtful and fair in my opinion. Thanks Lucianne for all you do.

Here since '98.
I'd listen to Lucianne and Sidney's radio cast on the internet first thing in the morning, lowest tech and always fun and engaging. I remember the great music going into ad breaks and an occasional call from a lonely voice in the Frisco Bay area, Thomas Lifson.
This site kept me sane as the 2000 election ground on for weeks. God bless you, Ms. G.
And oh yeah, watching the FX series "Impeachment" and it's what you'd expect. Despite the paint by numbers portrayal of those on the right, the ugliness of the Clinton's and their enablers can be only so whitewashed.

My sister alerted me to Drudge and Lucianne.com when the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal broke. I was hooked immediately and visited both sites numerous times daily. We had recipe-sharing "round tables" at Thanksgiving, including one year when the hilarious "whore squirrel" recipe became part of Lucianne history. There was also an amusing virtual cocktail party, and a group of posters planned a get-together and met in person on one occasion. We sympathized and suffered through several posters' terminal illnesses, and one couple who met on Lucianne eventually married; There also were a few annoying "trolls" who regularly visited and posted their anti-Conservative comments, but they were out-numbered and quickly put in their place! Lucianne continues to provide a wonderful escape from annoying liberal propaganda, and I'm so happy I found it those many years ago!

Have been here since the beginning...Love this site. God Bless Lucianne Goldberg.
Here is a link to a video on C-Span...from October 24, 1998
Media Coverage of the Clinton Investigation --Ms. Goldberg spoke about Linda Tripp and the Clinton investigation. She described how Linda Tripp wanted to write a book about what was going on in the White House and had come to her about it.

In this insane world, this site is my haven of reasoned thought. It is the place I go to first to read the news of the day. I can count on it to bring me the news, the good, bad, and ugly. Thankfully, the salon is never ugly here. We may disagree but it is always with respect and we need that in this crazy world.
I don’t know if anyone else does this but I look forward to every comment. They inform me as to how people are reacting to the news and that is important to me. I sometimes learn more from the comments than I do from many of the articles. You guys are so smart, witty and just down right funny. It does have a family feel here which I so appreciate and that is all due to our gracious and lovely hostess, Lucianne. During many political ups and downs it has been my lifeline to sanity. When I have wanted to pull my hair out, I have found hope and humor here. While this is a different vehicle of friendship, it is a very important one to me. I feel a connection and camaraderie that is uplighting and gives me hope in the dismal world we are experiencing now. Thank you all for that.
Miss Lucianne, I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful community. You are providing a service that is important and so needed. As we travel through the world, it’s wonderful to have a friendly place full of wonderful people who love this country. Each day that I am able to check in with my friends here to begin the day is a blessing. Thank you is not enough, but it is heartfelt.

Lucianne.com has provided “Clarity and Conviction” to countless people searching for answers during troubled political times. I’ve been here since 1999.
One day, back in 2000, I received a handwritten note in the mail. I did not recognize the return address. As I walked the quarter-mile trek from my mailbox back to our house, I began reading the handwritten words of thanks from Mrs. Goldberg herself.
Her kind note is framed and hangs in my office. The ink has faded somewhat over the years, but I cherish this piece of history. My L.Dot pin is firmly affixed to the frame.
Lucianne Goldberg is an unsung American hero who has, in many ways, shaped the course of our personal history. Through her website, we (the L-dot family) have gained knowledge and insight. We have learned much and taught others.
Thank you, dear Ms. Lucianne. We treasure you and your staff for helping us stay connected during the highs and lows of our shared American Experience.

Lucianne.com has been my home page for twenty years or so. It's the first site I visit every single day and it stays open all day every single day. I dearly love her and consider her family. I told her that once via email, with apologies, "you can't pick your family". I too treasure a handwritten note from her along with my Ldot pin.
In honor of "Impeachment" I wonder if Staff could find the Home Page photo of Bill Clinton's book that was posted way back when. I'm sure many of y'all remember, it was HILARIOUS. It was his book "My Life", with a red bra splashed across his face. Just one of so many laugh out loud moments here at the Salon.
Love you Lucianne, Staff, and all you posters who make this site the very best. Every single day.

I’ve been here since the beginning and have been eternally grateful for every minute that I have spent here. I have kept and treasured the 2 personal emails I received from our dear hostess.
With the 20th anniversary of 9/11 so near, I find myself remembering the daily news report that she posted here in the days and weeks following the attacks. For those of us in flyover country, she was our personal link to what was happening in NYC.
Thank you, dear and lovely lady, for all that you do for us every day! I would have lost my mind without you and Rush.

I go back to the times when this site was a chat room. When it switched over to a Salon, we got new passwords. I was on Lucianne.com on the morning of 9/11. I turned on the TV to see the second tower hit.
Luçianne is a friend I never met (like a pen pal back in the day). I do miss her chiming in or posting an op-ed on the site. She is the epitome of showing how to not let the bastahs get you down. I've had the pleasure to meet several L-dotters over the years. It's like being a member of a special club that has no religion restrictions, just bring your facts, logic, knowledge, and world experience to the table.
I once equated a morning visit to Lucianne like a bunch of like-minded people gathered at the General Store, reading the paper and "discussing" over breakfast. Very much what Sydney would have wanted us all to continue.
Thanks Ms G. Still remember you wearing your L-dot pin up on your collar while being interviewed on FOX because they would have cropped it if they knew what it meant.
