Quote:Now that's just stupid.
To quote Chris Rock, all Clinton did was lie about getting a blowjob so his wife wouldn't find out.
Albeit it was on a grande scale of things, but that's still what he did. Pretty much.
That's all he did, but the Republican Right who was out to get him (SERIOUSLY out to get him -- or were you too young to remember the innumerable congregessional investigations into the Clinton presidency that occured until the Monica one finally stuck? Well there were a LOT of them. And almost none yeilded anything except a waste of taxpayer dollars.) managed to almost make their dream since 1994 come true...
As for impeachment, yeah it is the hearing -- not the success or failure of it -- that decides if a president is impeached. None have been successfully removed from office... Johnson (the 1860s one, not the 1960s... :) ) managed to stay in office by just a vote or two, Nixon resigned (or he definitely would have been gone), and the Clinton one failed. But both Clinton and Johnson were impeached. They just weren't removed from office.
