In his new book, President Clinton's account of when his sexual relationship began with Monica Lewinsky conflicts with his grand jury testimony.
The disparity is significant because independent counsel Kenneth Starr's prosecutors had accused Clinton of lying about the date to avoid admitting he had a relationship with an intern, the Washington Post reports.
In his August 1998 grand jury testimony, Clinton said the relationship began in "early 1996," after Lewinsky had been hired for a paying job.
Lewinsky testified it began Nov. 15, 1995, during a government shutdown.
Clinton's memoir, without explanation, conflicts with his grand jury testimony and corroborates Lewinsky's version.
"During the government shutdown in late 1995, when very few people were allowed to come to work in the White House, and those who were there were working late, I'd had an inappropriate encounter with Monica Lewinsky and would do so again on other occasions between November and April, when she left the White House for the Pentagon."
The Post said Clinton aides could not explain the discrepancy. The former president's attorney, David Kendall, was traveling and did not return a call to the paper.
In a recorded interview to be broadcast online today by the BBC, Clinton reacted angrily to questions about his affair with Lewinsky.
One more reason Ken Starr should be appointed to the Supreme Court.
After getting back into private practice, he's proven himself even more to be a patriot:

So what! It's just about sex.
Clinton can't keep his lies straight.
He's admitting Monica was right all along. This shows his casual regard for matters of truth.
I don't know much about the publishing industry, but if I were publishing a book written by a notorious liar, I would like to think that I might take a little time to check "little things" like, WRITING SOMETHING IN THE BOOK THAT CONTRADICTS GRAND JURY TESTIMONY!!!
But again, I don't know much about the publishing industry.
However, this is really a non sequitur as Bubba has already proven numerous times that he is indeed above the law.
Former President Carter should be proud that he pardoned Bubba (for draft-dodging), and the United States Senate should be proud that they did their duty (political duty that is).
I'm still trying to ascertain the identity of this 'Ms Couch' he claims he slept on for 2 months after telling Hillary about Monica. Amybody know who she is?
"SEE FOR YOURSELF - STARR WAS RIGHT ALONG!!"
It's clintoon's way rubbing our nose in it while saying, "I lied and not only got away with it but got rich at the same time. Nanner, nanner."
