Americans, Please Explain Nancy Pelsoi To Me

[Jim]

While I understand Clinton lying about getting a blowjob, you just can't lie to congress. You can't lie to any federal inquiry. I know the first thought for any man caught with another woman is to deny, deny, deny. But, he should have finally made amends with his wife and tell congress he got blowed when the time came. If he did that, there would have been no grounds to impeach him.

On the other hand, this congress can't even get Harriet Mires to testify. How would they ever question Cheney or Bush? Perhaps Clinton should have exerted executive privilege when they wanted to talk to him.

Technically you are right, and maybe he should have admitted he got a blowjob...I don't know if having Hillary pissed off at you is worse than a conviction for perjury, but it certainly would have spared us a lot idiocy on the evening news about cum stains on blue dresses and such.

For a prosecutor to use a "perjury trap" in which he asked a question that would almost certainly bring about a false answer...and a question about something that had nothing to do with any underlying crime (unless a blowjob from Monica a crime)...is highly questionable. Probably one of the reasons Bill Clinton was aquitted.

Bottom line it was insane for the Republicans to make such a big deal out of a personal affair. I used to be a Republican, and all the sanctimonious horseshit just got too much for me.
