From what I read most ethicists and lawyers questioned about it say that, though he was not totally forthcoming, it is questionable whether or not he committed perjury. And it would be almost impossible to convict him of it.

A lie of omission is still a lie.

You're right lieing about SEX is far more important than lieing about why we send men and women into the throes of death for a war we have yet to have a true answer for.

Back up a second. I'm not defending Bush. I think what he did is so much worse than what Clinton did that it's not even on the same measurement scale. All I'm saying is that, unfortunately, we can't impeach him yet because there isn't enough evidence - it's a situation where we KNOW the fucker lied, cheated, and manipulated the country, but we can't PROVE it.
BTW, they apparantly couldn't prove it with Clinton either, because he was impeached, but not removed from office.
