The rulez:
When a Republican does "it," whatever "it" is, the Democratics assure us that "it" is the vilest and most loathesome breach of civility, integrity, legality, etc., ever, in the history of the Republic!
When a Democratic does "it," whatever "it" is, the Democratics assure us that "it" is not really a big deal and that the Republicans are merely being hypocritical, disingenuous and dishonest.
-- These Rulez are Endorsed by President Barack Hussein Obama and the leadership of the liberal Democrat Parody!
Yeah RIIIIGHT, kind of like how a democrat (clinton) lied under oath and the righties proclaimed that perjury (which clinton did NOT commit) was a high crime and he deserved to go to jail.
yet when a righty (scooter) is tried and convicted of perjury the righties scream and cry that his punishment is too harsh.
LOL
Or how about when democrats spoke out against bush and were called tratorous and un-American
However, now that conservatives are speaking out against obama it's the patriotic thing to do.
BTW I wonder what republcians said about the jeers directed at W back then and if they are even remotely close to what the righties are saying now??
President Clinton did lie under oath. YOUR belief or disbelief in that FACT is irrelevant. DNA trumps you entirely.
The "evidence" that Scooter Libby's incorrect statements were "lies" is ridiculous and it required a "trial" in DC to obtain a conviction. He shouldn't have been convicted and shouldn't have been tried and shouldn't have been "charged" in the first place.
I happen to agree (but only for very strict technical reasons) that Pres. Clinton's lie under oath failed to qualify as "perjury," but the distinction is razor thin. He was still deliberately lying IN a Court proceeding and that pretty much does obstruct justice.
I deem the rest of your post to be mere babbling by you.
Actually, President Clinton signed an affidavit that he "didn't have sex with that woman". Remember, Republicans spent more than forty million dollars of taxpayer money and thousands of man hours to get "something" on Clinton. Something, anything. Even today, some Republicans believe the Clinton's were charged with a felony over Whitewater and that was why he was impeached. But no. It was just a blowjob. The Special Prosecutor finally came to his senses and the affidavit was never used. So yes, he signed an affidavit and lied, but it was never used in court.
Funny Newt said that at exactly the same time, he was having an affair, but, except to his wife and kids and sister and employees and the family of the woman he was having the affair with, he never lied.
Now, did Bush lie? Except for Iraq and WMDs and yellow cake and a few other tiny white lies, so small that they hardly count, I was say no.
