Here's what sticks in my craw about this situation:
Nixon--Resigned when proven to have commited a crime.
Reagan and Iran-Contra (to his subordinates): "Give them everything they ask for."
Clinton: "Deny, deny, deny."
" I never had sex with that woman."
[My words here] "Hillary, have you got all that Whitewater and Rose
Law Firm stuff shredded yet? Be sure not to give them anything until the
statute of limitations is up."
I've seen Bush make his share of, for lack of a better word, "misstatements," but I haven't seen one yet that I was convinced was an intentional lie. I've seen him make mistakes out of ignorance ("Nobody anticipated a hurricane in New Orleans") and on misinformation (WMDs), but Hillary, Bill, and Kerry agreed with him at the time, based on the available information.
I think history will give us a clearer picture of whether he "lied" or not.
