Will there be just a little bit of Monica Lewinsky at the Democratic National Convention this week?

No, according to convention planners.

Attendees in Los Angeles this week won't even get to hear one bit of Monica this week, much less see her. But just to make sure, the Democrats have excised all references to women's names in the once-popular, but very overplayed song, "Mambo No. 5" by Lou Bega:

a little bit of Monica in my life
a little bit of Erica by my side
a little bit of Rita is all I need

Instead, the names will be replaced with the names of states. The song will be played to keep delegates excited during the convention.
