Clinton only used 10 words, Poppy only 6, Nixon only 5

"I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."

"Read my lips, no new taxes."

"I am not a crook."

Who cares how many words were used - a lie is a lie.

BTW, this thing is fundamentally WORSE than Watergate, IMO. Impeachment is too good for this crew. I want to see prison time.

2. What Clinton said was "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

He was using the definition given him by the Independent Council's Office of what sexual relations were comprised of and technically by their definition he did not lie. According to the Independent Council's Office and the Grand Jury a blow job is not considered sexual relations.

So Bush is following Clinton's example then: technically true, but intentionally misleading.

4. Come on

I am a big Clinton fan. I do not think he should have had to even talk about the issue, as it was a private issue between two consenting adults.

The fact is, he DID lie. I do not care what definition is used. A bj IS sexual relations according to most people. My wife for one...
