DAGNABIT!!! When are you guys/gals going to stop taking quotes from sources as the absolute truth when you frame your arguments.

SOURCES SMOURCES THERE IS NO PROOF THAT CLINTON LIED

Tri read this carefully from that article you posted:

The Post's Peter Baker and Susan Schmidt reported yesterday, however, that sources said that in his deposition on Saturday in Paula Jones's sexual harassment lawsuit against him, Mr. Clinton admitted having an affair with Ms. Flowers during the 1970s. Presidential spokesman Michael McCurry took indirect issue with the report. He said that both the president's deposition testimony and his 1992 statements had been truthful and they were "not at odds" with one another. He would not, however, answer a direct question as to whether Mr. Clinton had ever had an affair with Ms. Flowers.

I was a bit hasty and careless in my wording. Clinton lied before he gave testimony. It was during testimony that he admitted to lying previously. Therefore he didn't lie under oath but he did admit to lying while under oath. Therefore he is still a liar.

This seems to me a rather labored argument. What would YOU do if someone asked you pointblank whether you'd slept with someone? Someone that you had in fact slept with? Whether it was advisable to keep it a secret or not?

Much is also made of the fact that he supposedly asked her to lie about their supposed affair. Well gee, I guess that in his place I'd just have said: "Gennifer, PLEASE, PLEASE give a press conference and tell the world about it!"
