On August 17, the President testified for over four hours before the grand jury on closed-circuit television from the White House. In his testimony, he admitted the Lewinsky relationship, but denied that he perjured himself because he did not interpret the conduct with Ms. Lewinsky as constituting sexual relations. On the same evening, he appeared on national television and admitted that he had an "inappropriate relationship" with Lewinsky and had misled the American people about it.

He lied and then lied that he did not lie.

In your perverted mind it is OK for a President to lie and perjur himself, but only if he is a Democrat.

One guy gets called in front of an inquisitor to answer questions about his own private (and consensual) *** life with regards to a politically motivated CIVIL CASE. He lies about his own private sexual relationships.

Another guy gets called in front of a federal grand jury investigating the treasonous outting of a covert CIA operative. This guys knowingly and deliberately lies in order to obstruct justice and protect his boss (a boss who endangered national security and exposed anyone associated with the CIA agent to death).

In your simple mind, Joe Blow-job equates a larger crime than Johnny Treason. Interesting logic you have there Connie ole girl.

Twist it however you want to make you sleep better with your inane reasoning. Facts are, Clinton lied to you, me and everyone else! He lied on camera, then said he did not lie because he had his own definition of a few words. He is a troubled man, and just because he lied about his adultry does not make it any less of a lie. This is just one of the lies we caught him at. He was the President of the United States and lied straight out. He should be held to a higher standard as the President.

I personally didn't know that much about President Bush before he came to office except he was the Governor of Texas and his family name of course and that he owned a baseball team, he sounded like a cool guy back then. But for the most part when Pres. Bush entered the national spotlight he was sold as someone who could work with Democrats and Republicans and cited his many successes in Texas as an example. There was a lot of division in Washington between political parties and I'm sure everyone was looking for someone who could get business done and overcome party politics. What happened to that George Bush and did he ever really exist? We later also learned that Tom Delay redrew districts in Texas giving Republicans voting advantages. I fault Texas! If Texans knew the real deal they should have spoke up before we put Bush in power! Silence is consent!

The American Elected Government does not now represent the will of the People! Those elected officials have abdicated their charter to Lobby Groups who direct, manipulate, and plan American Foreign policy for their own countries special interest!

THE AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE, AEI WHICH IS A PRO-ISRAELI THINK TANK CAME UP WITH THE CURRENT SURGE PLAN! NOT AMERICAN GENERALS!

Gen. William Odom discusses the %u201Cworst strategic disaster in American history, the war in Iraq: the view of most generals that the war is wrong, the failure of the politicians to see the consequences of their actions, the centrality of the neoconservatives and the Israel lobby in pushing for the Iraq invasion, the %u201Csurge,%u201D

You left out ONE critical point. One is a member of the Bush Gestapo and is a member of the fuhrer's Staff. That means they are superior to the rest of us and deserve special Treatment according to these Nazi's. Sieg Heil Bush!!

A refresher course for you Libby "amnesty" defenders:

BushCo needs to scare us into war - "smoking gun a mushroom cloud" - knowingly lie about "yellowcake uranium" during State of the Union though document clearly a forgery.

Joseph Wilson - former ambassador to Niger and attache to Iraq sent to investigate - exposes the fiction for what it was...a manipulation (i.e. Downing Street Memo) to fan flames of war.

Cheney furious! Demands revenge to not only punish Wilson but to also send shot across-the-bow of the intelligence community: don't mess with our fictions about the war or we will bury you.

Libby, Armitage, Rove, and others knowingly expose Wilson's wife, a covert CIA operative. Novak prints Plame's name & CIA front-operation, Brewster-Jennings, in his column.

CIA demands investigation into treasonous leak - Fitzgerald appointed when Ashcroft recuses himself.

Rove and Libby lie to the grand jury to cover the trail and obstruct justice. Right-wing echo chamber in full blown spin mode, smears Wilson and Plame - Talking Points created to obstruct the facts of the case and blind the ignorant.

Fitzgerald, understanding full-well the source of the original leak (Cheney), opts to charge and convict Libby for perjury and obstruction of justice. Please try to remember the real story here, and not get lost in all the conservative mythology.

So Connie, let's get this straight.
