This, from a November 1998 Wall Street Journal article by Walter Berns discussing the NYT ad taken out by 400 reputed 'noted historians' effectively telling us all lying about a BJ and then lying to cover it up is not an impeachable offense.

Familiar charges, these, but this time they come not from the White House or its Hollywood friends, but from more than 400 professional historians, many of them well-known, some of them distinguished and none of them (we are to believe) partisan. "We do not condone President Clinton's behavior or his subsequent attempts to deceive," they say, but "the current charges against him depart from what the Framers {of the Constitution} saw as grounds for impeachment."

Except for one reference to a commonplace uttered by James Madison, we have only their word on this, but their word ought to carry weight, coming as it does from professors at all the Ivy League universities (save only Dartmouth), along with Stanford, Chicago, Virginia, Duke, Berkeley, Williams, Amherst and many lesser institutions.

I wanted everyone to remember or know that Dr. Doris Kearns Goodwin (a popular shill used often on MSM to provide 'unbiased' academic historical and Constitutional comment) was a signatory to this ad.

Never forget her and those 399 others. They are the enablers of the likes of Clinton (and Obama).
