The prior post had the following comments:

<<And (it has to be speculation only) it would seem almost certain that other adulterers - FDR, Ike, LBJ, and JFK>>

<<It is by no means certain that FDR or Ike were adulterers. To drag these towering icons into the fecal pond that SickWilly slithers in puts you four square in his hall of shame supporters.>>

I think the real issue is that FDR, Ike, LBJ, and JFK, if in fact they were adulterers, did not lie about such activity under oath. Clinton did.The issue is NOT adultery, the issue is perjury, obstruction of justice, etc. Perjury by Clinton is unacceptable behavior and should not be condoned because of the personal nature of the activity that he was trying to hide. I voted for him twice. I am still amazed that he is still trying to blame the messenger rather than the guy he sees in the mirror in the morning.

It is unfortunate for the country that this has become a partisan rather than a moral/legal/constitutional issue.

and i could care less. if they lied in court, under oath, then i have a problem. actually, then they have a problem. the bottom line is when you go to court and perjur yourself you don't give your supporters any ability to defend you w/o weak, ultra weak arguments.

"everyone does it so its ok."
"its only sex"
etc ad nauseum.

Ice - both FDR and Ike carried on affairs which are well documented (can't remember the lady in FDR's life - he died in her arms - but believe the person in Ike's life was called Summerhay - she was his driver in the UK) - I'm passing no judgements about it or Clinton for that matter - but we all have a tendency to turn a blind eye to where we don't want to gaze.
