发帖数: 13455 | 1 In the late 1990s, as President Bill Clinton was about to face the biggest
sex scandal of his political career for his affair with Monica Lewinsky, a
beauty queen named Alicia Machado caused a major scandal by gaining a large
amount of weight after winning the Miss Universe crown.
Donald Trump had just taken over the pageant, and fought to deal with the
fallout.
Hillary Clinton has, for months, planned to use that episode against him,
training Muchado for the attack. Here are the facts:
1. Trump fought to save Machado’s Miss Universe title, and her job. What is
a sensitive feminist male boss supposed to do if a female employee — hired
, again, for her appearance — gains a large amount of weight? He is
supposed to defend her job. And that is exactly what Trump did, urging the
pageant not to fire her, and appearing with her at a gym to offer support.
In an excerpt from his book The Art of the Comeback, Rush Limbaugh noted
Thursday, Trump recalled the episode:
“First, she wins. Second, she gains fifty pounds. Third, I urged the
committee not to fire her. Fourth, I go to the gym with her in a show of
support. Final act: She trashes me in the Washington Post — after I stood
by her the entire time. What’s wrong with this picture? Anyway, the best
part about the evening was the knowledge that next year she would no longer
be Miss Universe. What’s maddening is that I supported her.
“Even in Palm Beach, where I haven’t always gotten the greatest press,
Shannon Donnelly, society columnist for the Palm Beach Daily News,” known
here as the Shiny Sheet, “wrote, ‘Here’s a new one for the Donald:
Protector-Advocate for large women. His acquisition from ITT has put Alicia
Machado under the Trump Aegis. The Donald, bless his heart, doesn’t want to
fire her because “it would be a terrible message to send.” He is instead
bringing her to the spa at Mar-a-Lago where she can work out in earnest, eat
sensibly and generally decompress.’ That sounds pretty gentlike to me.”
2. A Venezuelan judge accused Machado of threatening to kill him. From a
1998 news report: “Machado, who grabbed world headlines for nearly losing
her crown after a sudden weight gain, burst back into the limelight last
month when lawyers named her as the getaway driver for her boyfriend in a
shooting last November … [Judge Maximiliano] Fuenmayor, who reported the
alleged threats to police, said he traced the caller through an incoming
call identity function on his mobile telephone.” The New York Post reported
at the time that Machado “was seen driving the car in which her boyfriend,
Juan Rodriguez Reggeti, sped away after shooting his brother-in-law in the
head in Caracas on Nov. 21,” citing the victim’s family’s lawyer. (He
survived.) Machado denied the charges, which were later dropped for lack of
sufficient evidence.
3. Machado damaged her own reputation by having sex live on television. In
2005, Machado appeared on The Farm, a Spanish-language version of the Big
Brother program. She had sex with the host of the show, even though she was
engaged to Major League Baseball player Bobby Abreu of the Philadelphia
Phillies at the time. Abreu called off the wedding after the humiliating
episode aired on TV. Machado wrote of her new lover, according to the Sun:
“He treats me like a goddess, he f***s me like a b****!” In 2006, she
became the first Miss Universe to pose nude for Playboy, appearing in
Playboy Mexico.

4. The Clinton campaign has been coaching Machado for months to attack Trump
. From The Washington Post:
Operatives in Brooklyn had been working with Machado since the summer. They
had a video featuring her story ready to go. Cosmopolitan had a photo spread
of her draped in an American flag – to go with a profile – in the can.
Machado had also conducted an interview with The Guardian that was “
apparently embargoed for post-debate release,” according to Vox. And the
Clinton super PAC Priorities USA turned a digital ad to highlight the
insults by early afternoon.
5. Machado did, in fact, gain weight during her reign as Miss Universe. The
Economist reported that she put on “15 kilos within weeks of winning her
title.” Other newspapers called her “The Incredible Bulk.” What was at
issue was not her weight or appearance, but that she had just won a
competition in which she voluntarily submitted herself to be judged for both
— against hundreds of other contestants who would have taken her place.
The Orlando Sentinel wrote: “No one, of course, raised an eyebrow when
Machado basically starved herself before the competition. But when she
gained anywhere from a reported 22 to 50 pounds afterward, she caused quite
the international stir.” Trump denies calling her “Miss Piggy” or “Miss
Housekeeping,” as Machado now claims (though he is on record at the time of
having called her an “eating machine”). Machado told the Miami Herald
that before the beauty pageant, “I was anorexic and bulimic, but almost all
of us are.” | y***r
