Wrong again. It was for lying under oath. It's called perjury.

Yes .. lying under oath about sex. Perhaps you can spin it to being about harassing the young and vulnerable by abusing a position of authority. That certainly sounds different than receiving a BJ from an eager intern who can't swallow fast enough. Regardless, the lie given under oath was about sex.

Cheney and his ilk should be tried for war crimes and what was done to home owners by wall street was a much more contemptible crime. As Festive says, republican crimes are about serious things. Somehow democrats get harsher treatment over little things.

No one said it does. Did I mention he committed perjury?

Don't you want to try Cheney first for setting demolition charges in the Twin Towers and then flying airplanes into them to make it look like a terror event?

Before anyone gets to purgery tell me when any government should have any right to force you to answer questions about a consensual sex act? That purgury charge is fruit from the poison tree. They had no right asking him about that.

People who claim he should have been impeached for purgury are confusing his morality with beling licence to give a court the right to break the law itself which is what they did.

NOW if Monica had been accusing him of sexual harrassment like Paula Jones then the court would have had that right, but since she wasn't accusing him of that, they had no right and any judge worth their weight wouldn't have pulled this political witch hunt. If Clinton had been a no name the judge would have denied any prosicution request to bring Monica in on the objection of relivence. The purgury charge shouldn't have happend because the prosicution got a favor from a bias judge.

How about trying the Bush administration for lying to the American people about WMDs, putting our troops in harm's way, and killing a whole bunch of innocent Iraqi civilians? That seems a worse crime to me than lying to a court about getting a BJ...

A special prosecutor has that power as does a grand jury. And given that the original issue was sexual harassment, it's not much of a surprise that questions about sex would be asked. As in many cases it was the attempt to cover up what happened that became a bigger issue than the initial offense.

SHIT!@# He did that to??!! Frankly I don't believe it. I think he, Rumsfeld and Bush are just guilty of torture and misleading the congress and the US public into war. But if you have evidence of worse you really should come forward.

The crime wasn't Clinton lying the crime was the court asking in the first place. But yea, I would say starting a needless war and getting tons of civilians killed over what amounted to "Yea daddy, I'll fisnish what you started and pay with it with all that oil". I'd say that is slightly more important than getting a blow job.

Great idea. I'll put it all together on a website and then you and I can make a YouTube video about it, on the Internet.

Wasn't the real crime that we didn't revoke the 22nd Amendment so that Clinton could be President forever? Ah, we can only dream...

Wait, I can't tell if you're being serious. But wouldn't that be great to have the country working so well again without ever having gone off chasing WMD's in Iraq. Bet he'd of caught the housing bubble and have held the right people accountable too. If only ..

Which in a more rational world would have been punished by congressional censure and a $500 fine.

Bush lying us into a war and torturing people on the other hand is an impeachable offense but any talk of that was dismissed as "shrill".
