To me, it says something that Clinton was willing to be placed under Oath in the first place, and put himself in a situation which no one would envy. He at least was following the Rule of Law, and though he was certainly not an innocent man in many ways, he at the very least did not feel the need to hide behind executive priviledge.
I did not care for Clinton in many ways, But was impressed with his final term as president where matters of state were concerned, as he seemed to understand balance, and world affairs. Should the time come where Mr. Bush, or his cabinet are asked to take the Oath for trial, I find it likely they would fare far worse than Clinton as a result. This scenario is however, very unlikely in my opinion as the Checks and Balances in place for Clinton no longer exist, for the most part.
