When Terry says stupid crap, with passion, it remains...crap

Terry...says...no president should be forced to testify. Well...no...um Terry...the supreme court, you know, the highest in the land and decider of such things ruled otherwise. When Billy refused to testify in a deposition in the sexual harassment claim by Paula Jones, the Court said...No, Billy, you gotta talk, no hiding behind the Presidential skirt. Remember Terry? Billy exposed himself to her and asked for a hummer (no Terry not the Evil SUV). Can't do that Terry, not even the President of the United States. The Republicans did not force this issue.

Now testify Billy did and boy did he tell a whopper, which is well...perjury. Terry, you know, lying to the court is perjury and it turns out the POTUS can't do that either, just like the rest of us giving uncomfortable depositions.

So the Congress, responding to a President being forced to testify (by the SCOTUS) and then lying during the testimony, properly impeached the SOB just as their duties compelled them to do. Oh, and Billy lost his legal licence.

Terry, the Clinton impeachment was not about sex, it was about holding those of high office to the same standard as the rest of the citizens and if you don't think your ass would be sitting in jail for the same offence, I refer you to Mr. Libby (pardon not withstanding)

FROM THE NYT

Mr. Clinton will be the first President ever to have been compelled to testify as a defendant in such a proceeding while in office. Previously, he offered taped testimony in Whitewater proceedings, but as a witness, not a defendant. His effort to delay Ms. Jones suit until after he left office was rejected by the Supreme Court last May.
