If the court had any sense, they would have written a reasonable
definition of "sex" or "sexual relations."  The court screwed up, left an
opening, and Clinton took it.  He's a lawyer, just like most Presidents
and most Senators, Congressmen and Governors, so you should expect him to
follow the letter of the law in this kind of situation.

Earth. You should visit sometime.

Honestly Mike, I'm to the point where I don't think you give a rat's ass 
about any of that. You vacillate back and forth whenever it's convenient 
to your ideology every bit as much as you accuse the right-wingers of 
doing. Part of the reason that liberals got marginalized in the last 
several elections is because they offer moderates no better alternative 
than conservatives. Those of us that actually don't care about party 
affiliation would be more than happy to have a significant alternative.

Frankly, I don't even disagree with your summation of W's achievements 
in the last term and a half, but I'm just as disgusted by the bipartisan 
lack of balls to do anything about the budget, immigration, or any of 
the thousands of issues that affect regular Americans on a daily basis. 
But mostly I'm pissed off that government has become, apparently with 
our permission, an entity that exists for it's own sake, instead of 
existing for the sake of it's people.
