But good Christian Dwight, I thought you were going to ignore me. Anyway, is the Clinton scandal about sex, or isn't it? Make up your mind. Perjury, the votes are in, the House wouldn't even pass direct perjury, and the convoluted perjury about perjury to the Grand Inquistor only got 45 votes. As for engaging brain, perhaps you'd like to engage your so-called brain on this.
The Broaddrick story helps explain why House GOP leaders seemed so passionate in their hatred of Clinton. They thought he was a rapist, though they knew they couldn't prove it. They could have fashioned an impeachment charge for assault (the statute of limitations would not have applied to impeachment), but they didn't dare. The story was old, and Henry Hyde and company didn't want to subpoena Broaddrick and subject her to cross-examination. So they decided to have her story spread privately, to poison the well secretly and impeach the president in part for something he wasn't charged with. Later, they pressured the media to roll the Broaddrick grenade into the Senate trial, with the hope that public opinion might change and the Senate might convict him for being a bad, immoral man. How fair. How constitutional.
And how Christian, right, Dwight?
