EPR-radar 05/13/24 6:35:49 PM #31:	TheShadowViper posted... His actual crime was perjury, which he was absolutely guilty of. I definitely think setting a standard for presidents starting with him that such behavior was unacceptable in the modern age would have been a good thing. I'm not sure impeachment was the penalty he deserved, but he definitely should have been penalized. People constantly refer to the crimes of Presidents like Nixon as if that should be a get out of jail free card for modern presidents. At some point you have to say "we got to be better, these are the new standards". I find it impossible to take perjury seriously in the context of a Republican fishing expedition where questions were asked that never should have been asked, and that was my feeling back then as well. The most I will concede is that "fuck off" would have been a better response by Bill Clinton to the fishing expedition than lying. --- "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
