It has nothing to do with whether he is the president or not. It's simply offensive. I didn't like it when people made fun of: Nixon's wife and daughters for being Stepford robots, Betty Ford's alcoholism, Amy Carter for saying that nuclear war is bad, Ron Reagan for being a ballet dancer, Barbara Bush for looking like GHWB's mother, Chelsea's looks, or the twins for being college students.

Your first sentence is good, but of course you qualify it wht the other clause. Why? What perjury exception is invoked here? We either have laws or we don't and if we do and there are not exceptions why do the democrats feel that there is some non-existent, "thje devil named scaife or starr made me do it" defence??? Scaife was a private citizen. the first amendment entitled him to say what he did. Unlike Soros whose behaviour borders on treason.

I'm not qualifying anything. I just don't think that she'll apologize, irregardless (ha!) of whether I think she should or shouldn't. And she should, because she was wrong about Monica. But there *was* a concerted and organized effort to bring down her husband, so she doesn't need to apologize for saying that.
And perjury? I was unaware that Katie Couric put people under the oath on the Today Show.
Sure, Scaife can say what he wants. And he can spend a lot of money to pay a convicted felon with an axe to grind in Arkansas to tell all sorts of stories in Little Rock to the gullible national press. And Clinton-hating Jesse Helms' disciples on the DC Circuit can get together to pick Starr to take over as special prosecutor. And Federalist Society lawyers working at Starr's law firm can ghostwrite pleadings for Paula Jones's lawyers. And commentators on the cable shows who are law school classmates of them (hello, Laura I?) can use the echo chamber to create more stories.
