"It's all about sex" was just a distraction from the facts of the case. He was in court for a sexual harassment case and in the course of that case, he perjured himself. It was relevant to Paula's case to determine if he had a past history of affairs in the office (as well as rape and sexual harassment).

How was Paula Jones to get her day in court if it was "understandable" that he would lie about his bad boy behavior because "it's just sex"?

Even an anarchist like Ted Rall agreed that Clinton should be impeached and removed from office but the spineless Senate did not agree.

Those who claimed "censure and move on" dropped all notion of censuring Bubba (which would have set precedent) after he was safely left in office. Those who called for censure admitted that Clinton's perjury was wrong (but no one is ever sentenced for that crime...) and that he should be rebuked.

He did eventually lose his legal license.

We don't need to have a defense; to challenge the notion gives it "some" credence. It's a double standard and I won't play that game. Bubba lied. Bubba lied repeatedly. In speeches, on camera, and under oath. We can eliminate President Bush from lying under oath (that has not been alledged and was the only way that Bubba was prosecuted). Can a President be impeached for something said in a speech?
