1998: Clinton denies affair with intern (On this day ,Happy Anniversary Bill)
BBC On ThisDay ^ | Jan. 26, 1998

1998: Clinton denies affair with intern President Clinton has strongly denied allegations that he had an affair with a 24-year-old former White House aide. He also rejected accusations that he asked her to lie about the relationship on oath.

Mr Clinton has come under intense media pressure as rumours circulate that he conducted an 18-month affair with Monica Lewinsky in 1995.

I did not have sexual relations with that woman

Bill Clinton

Miss Lewinsky, who is currently in hiding, has made no public admission, although it is understood that she has admitted to the relationship on tape.

The president made his categoric denial at a White House news conference today.

With his fist clenched and his voice shaking, he said: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.

"I never told anybody to lie, not a single time, never.

"These allegations are false and I need to get back to work for the American people."

Mr Clinton left the room without answering any questions.

First lady Hillary Clinton is said to be in "fighting mood" and has vowed to stand by her husband to save his political career.

The rumours of the affair first surfaced during an investigation into Mr Clinton by Independent prosecutor Kenneth Starr.

Mr Starr is understood to be keen for Miss Lewinsky to give evidence before the grand jury about the alleged affair.

But the former aide fears she will be prosecuted for perjury if she goes public about the affair as she has already denied it under sworn testimony in a separate sexual harrassment case involving Paula Jones.

The Toon generously provided the gutless republicans the coverup for all his crimes in the person of Miss Lewinski.

The sniveling cowards gratefully accepted his offer.

For 42 more years all the evidence will be locked away in the government archives. Treason by both parties.

Oh, wait a day. It cost me a lot of money.

I was running a Bill Clinton Joke-of-the-Day page, which was down to 3 times a week (from the original 5) and I was going to close up shop because after 2 years, I was getting bored with it.

Suddenly, I got more hits than you could imagine. So many that I got a call from the ISP in Texas (I was in New Jersey) telling me that my pages accounted for approximately 22% of the network usage that weekend. Ouch!

My bill for overage charges was about $170. I had to take the page down for a couple of hours. And I had to stop .forward-ing my mail to my work email account (another ouch -- got a reprimand for that one).

The Bent Finger. Apparently, everything about this guy is bent.

Some one told me recently that when some one is wagging a fginger, they are lying.

Ever since then, I've noticed a high correlation of finger to lie

In Clintoon's case, a finger is not all he wagged.
