Right, perjury. Aside from the usual political suspects (say, George "out of the loop" Bush), want to know else has perjured himself recently? Takes us back on topic, actually. Maybe that other Bill, the brilliant Bill Gates? He was deposed just recently, you know, and word was, he couldn't remember a thing. About the big browser battle that was Microsoft's prime objective for, what 2 years? Or maybe 4 if you go by the revisionist history? Bill Gates, revered as the most micromanaging of hands on manager, also managing his own legal defense. He just couldn't remember any email he got, or any he sent either.
You think your Bill's going to 'fess up and take the hit there? Aside from which, Bill Gates' testimony was supposed to be public, by law, as opposed to Bill Clinton's, which was supposed to be secret. But, those DC appeals judges wouldn't want to take a chance revealing the precious Microsoft trade secret that Bill Gates has suddenly gone prematurely senile.
Don't worry, I've gotten the lecture on perjury already. MSNBC said the DOJ got 12 convictions on it in the past 4 years. That's 3 a year! What conviction rate do you think that translates to, per incident of lying under oath? Then, you have the other matter that the whole Paula Jones deal was set up and promoted by right-wing political hacks, too, including Ken Starr, and funded by right-wing foundation money. None of that matters, as long as they get Clinton.
Cheers, Dan. |
