Bill Clinton It Depends on what the meaning of the word is is

Bill Clinton, while being questioned about Monica Lewinsky, brilliantly sends the questioning in a new direction. To determine the meaning of the word "is".

Here's what Bill Clinton said to the grand jury about why he wasn't lying when he said to his top aides that with respect to Monica Lewinsky, "there's nothing going on between us." How can this be? Here's what Clinton told the grand jury (according to footnote 1,128 in Starr's report):

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

Im sorry, I thought this was America, the supposedly free country, thats what you're selling right? You purpots to be the freest country in the world! Today we all know its pure bollocks of course and I feel bad for you. You people should come to Norway where any politician can fuck whoever they want, and they do. Several politicians have even been revealed buying hoes overseas. No punishment, not even viewed as a scandal. I think the USA is too much ruled by christian fanatics. What a shame.

We already knew Clinton liked sex with other women BEFORE we elected him. We elected him anyway. What happened here is political games. Republicans wanted to embarrass him for lying to congress. I fear that when there's big secrets like this that we all become in real danger of blackmail on the president. What if a secret sex friend of Clinton were to have said she would go public with the affair if he didn't veto a certain bill in congress? Then who is the president? Clinton? Or the Sex hoe?

Sure, but some of us live in a world power whose leader's reputations are actually important.

Yes, sort of. From what I've learned about US politics, it is completely controlled by Zionist jews, special interest groups profiting from wars and owned by China who finance your spending. But who allow this power structure? The majority of the people, christian conservatives who vote for these corrupt scumbags from the republican party and to some extent the democrats.

If you let in a third party or began voting for independents, there would be real 'change', but that will never happen.

Regardless of whether or not engaging in sexual activity with a member of your staff is a firable offence, he should not have done so because he is married. (You know, unless Hillary was okay with it...)

That's why the President of the United States has a responsibility to not do things like committing perjury that compromise his ability to execute his office. He should have resigned.
