If Paula Jones lied (and you have no evidence that she did, much less proof that she was paid to do so) then Clinton could have counter sued. I don't think that the entire incident was a paid for lie, but I'll assume arguendo, that this was the case.

It changes nothing. Clinton still perjured himself, and he was still forced to testify in the case by his own law.

But okay, if you want it that way, no double standards. Once Bush gets put under oath (finally) we should all support him being asked about his Houston stripper girlfriend, his cocaine arrest, DUI's he didn't admit and then onto his white collar crime, the insider trading at Harken, payoffs from Enron and going AWOl from the Guard and lying about it.

Why ask him about a bunch of fantasies, lies, distortions and unsubstantiated rumors? Other than the DUI they all fall under one of those categories.

Also it would be a double standard to ask him about all of those things even if he had done all of them, unless Bush had signed a law making one of those things relevant to some issue that he was being sued about.
