And you think Lying about a BJ was worth tying up the Government and costing the billions that it did was worth it?
Reagan AVOIDED LYing under oath in the Iran-Contra scandal by invoking Executive priveledge. Had Clinton invoked E.P. we would all have assumed he was guilty of God Knows what. ( I think the GOP thought this would be the case) From there the flood gates would have opened on accusations of all sorts of wrong doing.
But when in over 2 hours of testemony, it was found, he didn't Lie about Whitewater, Vince Foster, or numerous other accusations, it came down to a 5 second answer lying about his PERSONAL SEX LIFE that got him Tried for impeachment.
Do you know what a JOKE the USA looked like to the rest of the World?

I would agree with you, Pan, about it belonging between Clinton, Hillary, and Monica, except for the fact that these things took place in the Oval Office, at times while foreign leaders were waiting to meet with him.
I would suspect that if the the CEO of a major corporation was getting a BJ in his office prior to a stockholders meeting there might be some cries for his resignation or ouster.
If he's gonna do it elsewhere, when he doesn't have other things he should be concentrating on, OK - I'm with you. But that's not how it happened.
