>>You missed my point. This has gone passed the "minor indiscretion" stage. Clinton lied to the American people and perpetuated that lie. If he can lie over a "minor indiscretion" as you so lightly put it, is it not possible that he could lie in dealings on foreign and domestic affairs? You know, the "important stuff".<<

Well, actually I get your point, it's just that I disagree with it. Let's you and I play a little game. You get to ask me any questions you want. Surely you can see that just because I lie about the sensitive stuff (my IQ, the size of the last fish I caught, my golf score) doesn't mean that you can't trust me when I say 180, 45 lbs, and three under par. ;-)

No-one seems ready to kill the messenger.

How does this relate to whitewater investigation? Starr has the power associatd with the Spanish Inquisition.

In the original lie, Paula Jones charged sexual harrassment based on one event and the case was never allowed to come to trial. What value was the question asking Clinton if he 10yr or more later had sex with another girl. He lied under oath. but unless the question had a valid and pertinent part to the outcome it is not perjury under the law. Starr has known this throughout the grand jury inquest.

Slick Willy is not a surprise to the voters, it was clear before the last election. The sexual scandel was a non-issue.
