I hate to get back at the Clinton thing, but I think the reason many don't view Clinton's perjury so seriously is because the lawsuit was not brought to vindicate the rights of Paula Jones - it was prosecuted to neutralize the Clinton presidency. Had he not been president, there would have been no lawsuit. Had he not been president, and the results of his depositions leaked to Drudge and then reported on the news every evening, he probably would not have been tempted to stray into perjury.

These are the people I don't get. Just because you don't think that the case should have moved forward doesn't change the gravity of the perjury. This is a nation of laws. The Supreme Court ruled that the case was OK, and the Trial judge ruled that the question was relevant, and then Bubba lied. What people may think about it, or what the lie was about is irrelevent. He committed perjury under oath. Lying about sex is fine. A president lying about sex to the American public is fine. A President lying to the American public about anything is fine. Lying under oath, no matter what the subject, is not fine.
