But for a certain gutless slug in a bad rug from Mississippi (you all know who I'm talking about) Clinton would have actually been punished for a crime for the first and only time in his life.

Instead, like Ringo Starr, he's one of the luckiest men ever to live.

That gutless slug almost got his due. He came within an inch of slammer time because of his involvement with his scummy brother-in-law Dickie Scruggs. I'll bet the rent his resignation from the senate was in lieu of indictment.

Exactly what I was thinking. It was a shameful time for the GOP as well as for Billy Bentpecker. I've despised Trent "Bendsa" Lott ever since.

Not only him. Also Ted Stevens (blecch!) had his hand in the acquittal.

Oh, stop it. Trent Lott is hardly to blame. When the head of the Senate Democrats came to him and said that no matter what witnesses he called or what evidence he produced THEY WERE VOTING "NO", he shut it down and called for the vote. The press was killing them, they lost seats in the '98 election and the country had turned against removal.

He did what anyone would have done in his place. The ignorance on this subject is exhausting.
