Did Scott Walker Lie Under Oath to Congress?

[Jack Rabbit]

25. If you want to parse words, Clinton lied, but he did not commit perjury

To make it clear, I do not believe he should have been impeached and I do not think that Ken Starr or his staff deserved the time of day if any of them had asked for it.

However, Clinton volunteered the remark after a press conference, "I did not have sex with that woman." At that point, he was lying to me. To me, and to most people, blow job is a subset of sex.

At the presser, Clinton should have said nothing unless asked and, if asked, could have said that he had no comment under the advice of an attorney (even if the attorney was his own better judgment at the spur of the moment).

My own reaction to that (muttering to the TV set) was, "Why did you just say that? You're lying and just asking for trouble."
