“Clinton lied under oath!”
Hmm, I didn't know that Willy was convicted of lying under oath. Is that statement a lie, or is it simply...inoperative?
“I did not have 'sexual relations' with that woman, Ms. Lewinski.”
Blackwells Law Dictionary defined 'sexual relations' as sexual intercourse. Willy was telling the truth. He did not have sexual intercourse with Ms. Lewinski...the cigar did.
“Did you have 'sexual contact' with Ms. Lewinski?”
Of course not! The mouth is not legally defined as a sex organ. If Willy's peter was in contact with Ms. Lewinski's mouth, then it would be correct to say that she had sexual contact with him.
Aren't lawyers clever? And, when you combine them with a politician, they give us endless hours of amusement watching their testimony.
If one were to say that US District Judge, Susan Webber, was not amused by all of this, that would be true. She found Willy in contempt of her court, and fined him accordingly. Willy chose not to fight the contempt charge, via a trial by jury, and paid the fine.
“a lie is a lie is a lie”
That depends on what the definition of the word is, is :-)
