But Tom did you drink Kool Aid ? Remember reason and logic have to be abandoned at the alter of Bill Clinton.

Tom: "CobaltBlue your conclusion. >>>Let's see, what do you call false statements made under oath while a defendant in a legal proceeding? which is a question of this statement." I think Cobalt is technically correct. For example, I might testify that I saw Bill Smith do something. I may actually believe that that was true. If I am mistaken about his identity and testify that he did the deed, I haven't committed perjury, even though the statement is in fact false. This is in fact a germaine issue in a perjury trial. Of course anyone who believes that Clinton did not know he was lying at the time the testimony was given, probably believes the check is in the mail. Little joe

Correct me if I am wrong, but the false statement was that he did not engage in sex acts with Monica Lewinsky. If you leave out the issue of whether or not he was ever alone with Paula Jones, which he finessed by arguing that since they were in a hotel with many people, even though they were alone in a room with the door closed, they were not alone. If you want to argue that "everyone lies about sex," that's one thing. But to argue that Clinton did not know that he was lying is . . . . common barnyard detritus.
