    It could have been much worse. The kid could have gone to war and killed another kid and then lied about the reasons for it. Now which president could have ever have done that? Hmmm.....

    For a Politician to lie, is pretty much the same as a Professional Athlete to use perfomance enhancing drugs, we all know they do, but we seem to enjoy the game anyway, on and off the field...

    I'd still let President Clinton off the hook for that.
    The DA let himself be suckered when Clinton asked him to define 'sexual relationship'.
    The DA defined it as 'intercourse', and Clinton hadn't had any.

    Cheesy, yes, but truthful as well.
    That's what you get when one lawyer interviews another.

    Bruno, I never knew you lived in bigamy with a Duck!

    har har...

    But to the matter at hand, I honestly think (with some notable exceptions of course) that it is the basic human condition to at least consider a lie in the first instance. I'm sure everyone has considered whether a lie would work when faced with some issue or other. I know I have. Whether you tell that lie is another matter of course, but I am pretty sure it is there in all of us. I've told lies in my life - who here hasn't?

    I am pretty understanding about this kind of thing in politicians - the poor fools put themselves out there, and the only real difference between them and us is that they have cameras in their faces 24/7. We are all humans in the end.

    I didn't say it would hold up with my wife. Nor that it should.
    But that was between him and his wife.
    For the hearing, only one thing mattered and that was: did he ask the question of the DA truthfully. And the way the DA posed the question, that is an unambiguous yes.


    I still wonder why it was such a big deal.
    Kennedy chased everything with a skirt, and noone thinks less of him for that.

    Nice try but no dice, the post was not intended to be an invite to a political debate of any sort so put away your "Bush Lied and People Died" banner. The point was the kid expertly and with a straight face executed a lie just like politicians of ALL affiliations and indeed the mainstream media do to you and me every single day! FWIW, I wasn't a big Slick Willie fan but I'd take him back for two more terms over Hugo Chavez...uh...I mean president Obama.
