I'm a bit foggy, but if I remember correctly the legal problem for Clinton was perjury in a civil deposition of a case that was dismissed--and that no one ever before had been charged in such a matter. Yes, you ARE a bit foggy. During the Lewinski scandal, numerous instances were brought to light where individuals were actually SERVING TIME IN PRISON for precisely what Clinton had done, i.e., lying under oath in a civil proceeding. It is important to remember, however, that Limbaugh's indiscretion doesn't threaten the entire basis for our system of civil litigation, whereas Clinton's perjury did, in effect, give every perjurer in the future the perfect out -- "Clinton did it, so why can't I?" Clinton supporters have never quite gotten the concept, so I doubt you will, either. But for many of us, it IS an important one.
