Why didn't B. Clinton just say "I don't remember getting a Blow Job"...
It seems to work for the Bush administration.

Rove/Scooter - Plame Investigation
Bush/Delay/Ney - Abramoff
Rumsfeld - WMD's
Bush - 911/Saddam Link

Others?

19. Not unless its really, really bad
But if you're a man in your 50's and its a woman in her early 20's...I don't think anyone would buy that.

10. Yes, but the charge was perjury not having sex with her
He could still have said he didn't remember to try and have the charge thrown out. It would have never worked and the defense he used was probably the best. To split hairs on what was considered "sexual relations" in his mind. The law says if you don't think you are lying then it's hard to charge the person with lying.

13. You know, I've thought about that one a lot.
But, just because his DNA ended up on the blue dress, doesn't mean he actually deposited it there. Does it?

21. That's how CJ answered
(without profanity) on West Wing when a reporter asked her if she were a lesbian. Someone had planted such a story about her. Guess the political affiliation of the planter.

6. Worked for Reagan during Iran Contra too.
I was saying this all through the Monica thing- he should have just quoted Reagan, almost to the word whenever asked about it.

11. I've always wondered that
I think it was a combination of being afraid of Hillary finding out and being too confident he would get off (pun intended).
His choice of words regarding the whole Monica things was one of the worst mistakes of an otherwise brilliant political mind.

12. He should have used the GHWB method
How DARE YOU ASK ME THAT QUESTION??? How DARE YOU??? That is the rudest, most vile question I have EVER heard, and I am NOT GONNA ANSWER IT. Shame on you!

That's what he should have done. Eh, live and learn...

15. because he got all goofed up trying to deal with it.
'slick willy' is actually not slick at all as his bumbling nervous dealings wrt the lewinsky situation displayed.

if he was real slick he would have said none of your business but he was trying to hide it from hillary at the same time and im sure she wasnt going to go for that one.

29. Right
He ran off the rails with that ridiculous finger-wagging "I did NOT have sex with that woman" performance.

Actually, he drove into the weeds when he had sex with Monica. Being president was his lifelong ambition. If you achieved your singular burning desire and the only restriction was that you forgo a lesser desire, wouldn't you do it? He only had to chill for a mere 8 years. It wasn't like he had to do without. He had his missus, and it was more than clear at the time that she was besotted with him. If he couldn't ravish his wife with love and gratitude, he should've disowned his pecker for the duration, or at least until it was safe for him to cat around without inciting Republicans and gettng the whole fucking nation involved in his foolishness.

22. Frankly, why didn't Clinton tell them it's his own personal life,
And it's nobody's business but his, Hilary's and Lewinsky's? I mean really now, how many presidents have gotten a bit on the side while in the Oval Office. Frankly I think it's a good thing, because I'm certainly of the believe that the man with his finger on the button should be as calm and relaxed as possible.:shrug:

31. If I remember correctly,
the problem was that he was asked the question in front of the Grand Jury investigating his alleged sexual harassment of Paula Jones. He had signed a law making it legal to inquire about the sexual history of the accused. So there was no way to not answer, and any answer other than what he gave was guaranteed to cause problems.

34. He did not know that THEY knew about Monica, so when he
lied about having a relationship, he did not know he was already in their trap.. At that point it was too late already.. They HAD him...

Edited on Tue May-09-06 01:34 PM by Notoverit
As if you didn't know! If you forgot what was going on at the time, get thee The Hunting of the President. All major news outlets had permanent correspondents searching for pics of the Mighty Clenis....The war in Iraq was nothing compared to THAT coverage....

30. Bill Clinton should have declassified his sperm...
Then he could have said, I declassified my sperm, therefore anyone could have had it, why not Monica got some?
