Hi Bill:
What I basically ment was that as far as lying under oath goes, it seems
like in this case the fact that something is said under oath doesn't
seem to make much difference. Monica swore under oath that she and
Clinton didn't engage in sex. Now her lawyer is saying, "well, give her
immunity and she will tell her story." So why should we believe
anything she says under oath the second time around, when the first time
around it was under oath also?
As for Clinton lying under oath. I dunno, so far he hasn't changed his
story and says he won't. He still says that he didn't engage in
anything illicit. But that can be different in different eyes too.
Even if he did lie and say that he hadn't had sex with her. Someone on
Politically Incorrect brought out something that I hadn't thought of.
What would people have to say about him if he had gotten up in front of
the whole country and said, "Yes, Monica and I were screwing around in
my office." That wouldn't have gone over too well either. Kissing and
telling isn't exactly the kind of thing that any woman would look up to
a man for doing. What he should have said was that it was no ones
business what his sex life was, and that if they had any questions
regarding running the country and his job, ask it, but leave his sex
life where it belongs, private.
It will never get to court, IMO. And Paula Jones won't win her lawsuit
either. This thing has gotten completely out of hand. Clintons ratings
are still high with the American people, and there is no way that they
are going to impeach him, if for no other reason, for that reason alone.
But that is just my opinion, and not one that anyone should take to the
bank. :)
