Maybe you missed it but Steve has already declared he doesn't defend clinton, he said so, really he did. The boy is complicated. I would have said he's a fraud but he's very sensitive about that aspect of his character.

"I just wrote that i considered Clinton's behavior to be unethical and indefensible. I DEFEND nothing."

You're wrong. Perjury has to involve testimony material to the case. The Jones case was summarily dismissed by Judge Wright which rendered Clinton's deposition immaterial.

That's the law. Perjury is a crime. Lying under oath isn't always perjury and it isn't always a crime.

Since Clinton was never charged with or convicted of perjury. And since he never admitted to it. It's wrong to say he did.

Scooter Libby was charged with and convicted of perjury. See the difference?

Also, Libby, Rove, Ari Fleisher, and Armitage all outed Valerie Plame to reporters. But that doesn't mean they all broke the law. The law is more complex than that. The same is true with perjury.

Don't take my word for it. Look it up. Learn something.
