When we do it under oath, it's called perjury. You can object to the question, but if it's asked and you can't get the question thrown out, then you either tell the truth or commit a felony. Any other message is an invitation to all witnesses to make it up whenever they are offended by the question.

Witnesses with a certain level of political stature are generally allowed to get away with it. That may be a good precedent or a bad one, but it is the precedent.

Of course the guy lied, and of course that was bad. I see that more as par for the course than as a new level of moral rot. When you're used to lying at the level of the Tonkin Gulf incident, Iran-Contra, or any number of others, it's hard to get fired up over a denial of a blow job.

That's true for me, at least. It may not be so for others.
