- Junkyarddawg, on 10/12/2007, -8/+198BBBBBUT CLINTON...!
I'm going to try that defence myself.
Officer: You held up a bank and shot five people.
Me: Clinton committed perjury when asked if he'd had sex with Monica Lewinsky!
Officer: Oh, right. Sorry. My bad. - mikelieman, on 10/12/2007, -4/+158To those who would invoke "Clinton Did It!", permit me to point out that Clinton was also IMPEACHED. So if you're going to invoke Clinton, you're admitting that impeachment is warranted.
- Cutkomp, on 10/12/2007, -18/+139Yeah and these are the same ideological assclowns who fight marijuana because they say it's bad for your memory. Rummy could never remember anything either.
- littlebylittle, on 10/12/2007, -8/+120122 Times? What an effing Farce.

Are you sure you don't mean the Reagan Days?
LOL - theheadguy, on 10/12/2007, -13/+109QUESTION: Do you republicans HONESTLY believe these people are totally honest? To THINK (or not!) that all of these lies and scandals are equal to getting a blow job from an intern? FACT: When he did his business on Monica's dress, good people still had their jobs, other countries didn't hate us, and people weren't dying in Iraq because of it.
I've had enough of you ***** psychotic god fearing loony pieces of *****. Grow some balls and admit that we have an evil administration ruining the country!! - dshPls, on 10/12/2007, -11/+87"It brings back nostalgic memories of the Clinton days."
I really hope that isn't justification. - cl0r0x70, on 10/12/2007, -5/+73"It brings back nostalgic memories of the Clinton days."
I agree! Back then, the lies were about sex. Now, the lies just aren't funny. - pintomp3, on 10/12/2007, -3/+65either he acted illegally and is lying or he is plain incompetent. both are good reasons to be fired.
- JCSaint, on 10/12/2007, -4/+63He "resigned."
Resigned (ree-ZIN-ed): noun. 1. Thrown under the bus by the Bush Administration.
2. Avoided investigation by a preemptive strike. - ProximaC, on 10/12/2007, -6/+64littlebylittle is right. Ronald Reagan pioneered the "DUH... I DUNNO" defense long before Clinton did.
- theheadguy, on 10/12/2007, -8/+57RUFFRIDR:
The Washington TIMES is not to be confused with The Washington POST (A REAL newspaper).
Your quote is from a deliberately right wing rumor mill with almost no credibility in this country. For more information on this paper, check it out yourself:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Times
So your contribution to this forum is absolutely worthless and adds to the dense smokescreen this administration has mastered. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+40If you can't remember your meetings, you can't run the country. This applies to Guliani and his new scandal, too.
- WickedDrag0oN, on 10/12/2007, -3/+36I was watching this on cspan 3 yesterday. And I have to say you really have to watch him on cspan to really grasp how he said it... He really did sound and look like an idiot trying really hard not to give anything away...
I would have shouted at the top of my lungs "THEN WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU KNOW?" and then follow up with "What exactly is your job again?"
*insert Office Space refrence* "I'M A PEOPLE PERSON" - TroubleInMind, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33Chairman: That concludes our memory-impaired testimony for this morning. The next witness will be Lil' Jon.
Lil' Jon: WHAT?
Chairman: Mr. Jon, you are next.
Lil' Jon: WHAT?
Chairman: I said, Mr. Jon, you are next.
Lil' Jon: WHAT?
Chairman: Would you care to testify now?
Lil' Jon: WHAT?
Chairman: It's your turn to testify.
Lil' Jon: OKAYYYYY!!!! - geronimo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26Women don't operate by rule of law, try that once and she'll violate geneva conventions.
- littlebylittle, on 10/12/2007, -4/+28@theheadguy
"the dense smokescreen this administration has mastered."
Funny. I can see right through it. - seattle98104, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24it's "fif". get it right.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/ca/Fif.jpg/200px-Fif.jpg - 4degrees, on 10/12/2007, -4/+26an attorney general that cant remember *****? thats not so good...
- seattle98104, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21oh, sure records are kept, but they are promptly lost when a scandal breaks.
- geronimo, on 10/12/2007, -5/+23"but but Clinton did it"
I'm guessing you have a bunch of speeding tickets.
"Sir, you were doing 90 in a 55 zone"
"But but he did it!"
How old are you. 2? Clinton made a mockery of the presidency when he brought Lewsinky into the whitehouse, Reagan only wore a suit at all times. But two wrongs don't make a right. - Wonkanobi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20I'm gonna try that line whenever my girlfriend accuses me of cheating...
- CliffKent, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21IF they do not commit perjury, then they do not have anything to worry about.
- WickedDrag0oN, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Well see the one thing that bothered me the most in his testimony is when they asked for documents and records for stuff that sounded pretty crucial to choosing who to fire and replace was stated that they didn't exist. How can you do research on a number of officials looking to replace a number of them for what ever reason and not have any documentation? When I herd that I really did get the impression that they didn't want anybody to know their motives.
- ronito, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20Republican rules of debate:
1. Pull the Clinton card.
2. See #1. - br0ck, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20The questions Clinton was asked were very small details that would have been easy to forget. And endless rounds of investigation and testimony, costing taxpayers $4.4 million, were need to find out that Clinton had ejaculated twice after resisting for more than a year, had never had intercourse (if you're 16 and have had only oral, aren't you a virgin?) and couldn't remember which days he had phone sex two years before. (don't believe me? http://www.usatoday.com/news/special/starr/starr042.htm and http://starbulletin.com/specials/starr/narrative.html )
Compare that to Leahy who said at one point he hadn't spoken with the Bush since 2004, but later remembered that he had but couldn't remember if they talked about firing anybody or not. How can somebody possibly forget talking to the president? And if you do talk to him only very rarely how can you possibly forget what you talked about? - geronimo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20When you put a weasel on the stand he shrivels into his weasel cave. The weasel had memory abilities to get the job but all of a sudden he has memory problems. Don't let up until the weasels start with the truth. He and his cronies answer to the people.
- skydivingdutch, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Hey, it worked for Reagan.
- littlebylittle, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18In my mind Clinton had every right to lie under oath about an effing BJ from an eager adult woman. It was an embarrassing shame that we ever subjected the President to such ***** in the first place. I'm tired of these losers who even bring that sorry ass ancient history. It was lame and it sucked hard then. No pun intended.
- davesbrain, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17@PhisherKing
Do you seriously want to enter a debate about civil liberties in defense of Bush? - rockforever, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18What a mockery.
- SeismicShock, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15I see what you did there
- polyGone, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15My team is better than your team.
Lose the blind party loyalty. It is what is eating at this country. - littlebylittle, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17@zumpiez
"But in Reagan's case, it is conceivable that he actually didn't. ;)"
Nope, he admitted that he knew about Iran/Contra.
It was more the Criminals around him that talked him into it and carried it out.
Most of the very same criminals are in the current administration. - Elranzer, on 10/12/2007, -8/+21Nobody died when Clinton lied...
- crichton101, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15a trap to catch someone lying doesn't work so well when they aren't lying. And there is a big difference between remembering something like say, which shoe you tied first or what you had for lunch on the 2nd Monday in August of 2006., and not remembering what role you played in firing 8 people. And considering he first said he played no role in it what so ever, he might not even need anybody's help to purger himself.
- tsf5000, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17This is pretty standard for government, unfortunately. Reagan and his people did the same thing during the Iran contra hearings.
- JCSaint, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13No, I was just surprised. I think this is a positive as it helps with the dissemination of information. It was just odd to see things like digg, et al on the washington post.
- zumpiez, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15Proximac: But in Reagan's case, it is conceivable that he actually didn't. ;)
- amoirae, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Then we'd have to worry about shrapnel when the polygraph machines explode.
- mtvkilledusall, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13I really don't know how all this stuff works, but aren't there records kept of meetings? Minutes or something?
- Userfaulty, on 10/12/2007, -7/+17"I plead the fiiiiiifth"
"one..two..three..four...fiiiiifth"
Dave Chapelle - macaddct1984, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Looks like he needs to start taking some ginkgo biloba.
- rockforever, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11One two three four FIIIIIIIIIF!
I can tell you that I plead the fizzif.
There are so many amendments.... to the Consitution of the United States of Ammmmmerica! If I could choose only one, I choose the fif! - AxeSwinger, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13Sure but they certainly don't know what the work "know" means. And it was done before
Clinton by Rove. People in glass houses and all. - davesbrain, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Or shredded.
- ProximaC, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14Reagan had him beat by many years and a similar count.
- bobcrotch, on 10/12/2007, -9/+18What are you trying to say? The washington post isn't allowed to use social bookmarking sites?
- davesbrain, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Seriously, remember Ollie North testifying?
- FearlessFreep, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Should've used the Mark McGwire defense "I'm not here to talk about the past"
