cgraham - you don't seriously believe that the only lying he's done was about Lewinski, do you?

This is getting a bit tiresome to keep repeating, but lying is not an event - it is a behavioral trait. No one can trust him, or should trust him if he has a personal stake in an issue - his behavior is that of the sociopath who will do nearly anything to avoid losing face. Add a law degree and a quick mind and you have a situation where the person puts himself or herself above everyone else. Lying becomes OK because it is OK for the sociopath to make judgements counter to the law if he or she views the law as not applicable.

You're making the assumption that the Senate is going to remove him from office - I hardly think so. The trial may find him guilty, but the penalty will probably be a censure with his fate handed to criminal trials post-term.

As for Iraq - Saddam has played the administration like fools for years. It's like a teacher hollering through the window at the playground bully to be nice then turning away and closing it instead of making the bully pay some penalty for wrongdoing. No penalty, no change in behavior.

Sounds familiar, eh?

Mr. K.
