Obviously, you don't get it. I didn't think you would.

Many people swear such oaths, Bob.

Nevertheless, Bill Clinton swore an oath to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," and then violated that oath.

The presiding judge William Rehnquist did in his Senate confirmation hearings, and he'll be around longer than Clinton.

So? And nevertheless, Bill Clinton swore an oath to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," and then violated that oath.

Associate Justice Thomas did too, and he'll be around much, much longer than Clinton.

Again, so? And again, Bill Clinton swore an oath to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," and then violated that oath.

On the eternal quest for truth and justice front, you have to explain how the original American Spectator Paula story, planted with Brock by Smith and Porter, fits into it.

I don't have to do anything of the sort. I really couldn't care less what the source of the story was or how it "fit into it."

Was that the truth?

That's not for me to decide. If it was libelous, Bill Clinton has legal recourse to win a retraction and any compensatory damages. The fact that the story wasn't immediately attacked with every legal tool available speaks volumes. And nevertheless, Bill Clinton swore an oath to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," and then violated that oath.

If so, Paula Jones must be lying. If not, why did Jones blame Clinton for besmirching her good name? Clinton didn't plant the story.

This is an interesting little seeming non-sequitur. Daniel, I commend you on this logical trap you've laid, that can most neatly be described as "Somebody on the right is lying no matter what." Of course, if the story is true, Paula Jones' apparently ill-founded contention that it was Clinton who sullied her good name pales in comparison to the admission that the story is true. And nevertheless, Bill Clinton swore an oath to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," and then violated that oath.

I'm glad you're content with your morally superior absolutist view on this matter.

Thank you.

In the blood sport that dominates our politics these days, I reserve the right to find your particular view naive.

Nevertheless, Bill Clinton swore an oath to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," and then violated that oath.

Keep trying Daniel, you may get it yet.
