Wrong again. It was for lying under oath. It's called perjury.
Just about anyone, we can keep putting them under oath and asking them every embarassing question we can think of and then pick through their answers with a fine toothed comb until we find a lie. I don't doubt for a second you could get me to lie under oath using those circumstances and we could probably get just about anyone like that. So, yeah, he committed perjury, but it was because he was in a perjury trap.
I may complain about Democrats, but at least when we criticize Bush or Reagan, we get them over legitimate policy. We get them over their deregulation of business that led to the stock market crash or we get them over starting the Iraq war or their lack of action to prevent 9/11 or their slow response to hurricane Katrina. The closest we have to a non-issue we criticize them over is their ties to Halliburton or oil companies, but even then, when you look at how those ties impact their foreign policy or their energy policy, it turns it into a real issue.
