How about taking the politics over to the "Did Slick Boink Monica" thread so this one doesn't degenerate into a Starr vs. Clinton thread?

Incidentally, there are two factual errors in your statement. Clinton responded to Flowers' assertion that she had an affair with Clinton for x number of months by saying, "I did not have an affair with Gennifer Flowers for x number of months." He did not say he didn't have an affair with her per se. I know it's logic chopping, but the statement could be factually defensible if the affair was for y number of months. For example, if someone accuses me of getting drunk three nights in a row and I say, "I didn't get drunk for three nights in row," I am telling the truth if I didn't get drunk at all, or got drunk for two, four, or ten nights in a row. So, however disingenous the statement might be, it would still be a liguistically accurate one.

Second, assuming you are speaking of the 60 Minutes interview during the New Hampshire primary, Clinton did not deny having an affair; rather, he said something like "We've had some problems in our marriage which we had to work through like a lot of other people." It was a vague response, but not a denial.

My response to your message should reinforce the point that political opinions belong on political threads IMHO.
