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."

@comidities "I killed a bunch of brown people.. but I never second guessed myself! That's gotta count for something right?" That's not a virtue in itself. In fact, for a president whose choices are felt throughout the world that's not a virtue at all. His choices must also be right in order for them to have any virtue. What's even more sad is the fact that if you look at who was actually in charge of Bush's FP it was Cheney. So your "corageous" president was actually Cheney's wimp.

[comidities]

Dude r you kidding me. So your saying that cause dems don't stand 4 anything it's ok what he did and worse. He lied under oath? I think Bush was a stronger leader. Forget about politics, w would never 2nd guess him self & is not afraid to make unpopular decisions.

@whiteganser i do realize... but i would rather my president get a blowjob than start wars on a whim. - i think clinton is a great man. and believe it or not, i think bush is too. i just think clinton was the better leader, and that bush screwed us over big time. democrats aren't the ones that claim the moral high ground on these issues, republicans are. and i wish the right would stop trying to pin all of w's mistakes on obama. but i suppose thats just the way they're going to do it.

[whiteganser]

@underlinedbluetext Despite the death's of our soldiers being an absolutely terrible fact. You do realize that in wars in the past, we lost thousands EVERY DAY. The amount of casualties in the Iraq war is NOTHING compared to Vietnam, Korean War, World War II (obviously), etc.

[underlinedbluetext]

@whiteganser Yep. Much better that then an unjustified war in iraq and thousands of dead US soldiers.

[whiteganser]

@underlinedbluetext "Great man"? You mean the guy who had a legitimate affair in the Oval Office? Yeah, sounds like one hell of a guy.
