Yeah, but IIRC she was egged on to do so by Trip.

She was actually quite proud she had blown the cat, and was bragging.

The suit was without merit. Perhaps she should have kept her lips off his dick.

Did he lie? Yeah. I'd venture to say 99% of men would have done the same thing. It's not an excuse, but it is reality.

Wrong again on Tripp. She was egging on Lewinsky, not Jones. Lewinsky did blow Clinton, seemed proud about it, and was bragging about it to Tripp.

As for what actually happened Jones denied she did anything with Clinton, Clinton denied everything, and the State Trooper said he didn't know what happened in the hotel room. I don't believe any witnesses or evidence was introduced in the case showing she blew him or bragged about it. There was testimony from other women that stated Clinton pulled the same stunt with them as Jones alleged though.

You can continue to make excuses for Clinton's perjury all you want. Either way that was the action that caused him his legal trouble, not getting a blow job.

Oh, right...Jones. Now I remember.

Yeah, that piece of work. Ugly as a wart. I dunno, maybe Bill came onto her...he apparently has no fucking taste...

I dunno, I was just talking about political hit jobs...it seems they happen from both sides.



I don't know enough about DeLay to know if he's guilty of anything, other than totally unbelievable Republican/Televangelist hair...but I think that's usually a fair litmus of overall credibility...

Clinton answered the question correctly, by the definitions set by The Court, itself, which limited the term "sexual relations" to actual intercourse. Using the law to its letter is what lawyers do. It was slimy, but it was true by that standard.

The Court didn't agree with you. He was held in contempt of court and fined for his testimony on that particular matter.

Because they rules on the spirit, rather than the letter of the terms set forth.

The Court ruled without considering the merits of Clinton's claim that his testimony was accurate with regard to the definition used in his deposition. That was also only one issue. He was also held in contempt for intentional false testimony concerning having been alone with Lewinsky. The Court would have ruled on the definition of "sexual relations" if it had decided a hearing was necessary. Instead the court decided the record was already clear and little would be gained from a hearing. Clinton could have appealed the ruling if he thought it wrong, something he chose not to do.
