What's so sick about the statement? Clinton was a better liar. That's not a comment about what they where lying about. When do we compliment someone in that way.......he was a better murderer, he was a better robber, he was a better liar? Besides, how did you come to that conclusion? Nixon had a tic and Clinton didn't? Nixon averted his eyes while Clinton didn't? The concept of evaluating and grading someone's lying ability has a specious quality to it. What's the point? Clinton was lying to hide that he was committing adultery. Nixon was lying to hide the fact that he had people burglarize Dem. headquarters. Clinton was committing perjury about adultery. I don't care.......a Grand Jury was called up thanks to the absurdity of partisan politics. Grand juries would have had to have been called up for at least half of our presidents had the Reps. of the 90's been in power throughout our history. And don't tell me that Reps. don't commit adultery. Unfortunately, they seem to have a prurient interest in the subject and can't let it go. I don't think Nixon perjured himself so the lies where not as bad as Clinton's lies. Also there is no evidence that Nixon had people burglarize the Dem. headquarters. If he was not involved, why did he try to cover it up. What Nixon clearly did that was wrong was neither perjury nor conspiracy to commit burglary but rather obstruction of justice, which like perjury is a serious crime. Let me get this straight... because Nixon was not found guilty in a court of law, you discount that he may have been behind the break in even though he tried to divert the investigation and cover it up. However, you do agree that at a minimum he was guilty of obstruction of justice. Yet, you see that as a lesser crime because Clinton lied about an adulterous affair under oath. Sorry, your conclusions, like that of D. Ray's, appear childlike to me. In my mind, there were only two crimes........the break in of Dem. offices and Nixon's attempt to cover it up. Talk of Clinton's lying is much to do about nothing and has more to do with partisan politics than reality. ted
