I am proud to say I was never was on the Edwards train.

Andrew Jackson committed bigamy, and killed a man over a horse-racing debt and an insult to his "wife."

Stephen A. Douglas supported slavery. I also believe he repeatedly called Abraham Lincoln a "n***** lover" during the 1860 presidential campaign but I could not verify this online, and will have to do so with my Lincoln biography that's sitting at home.

Which wife?

And then there's Bill Clinton...

Bill Clintons relationship with his intern was morally much much worse than Ensigns "amour fou" .

IMO it is / was a system fault that BC had (had he ??) to answer questions about his affair. He should have refused to answer questions.

My point is the difference between a disgusting "affair" of blowjobs in the Oval Office and something I described as "amour fou". For the cover-up you are right, of course.

I know this always comes up when Clinton's testimony and speech are discussed, but nevertheless....

To many a Southern boy and man, his statement "I did not have sex with that woman" was the truth.

Democrats in the 110th Congress passed the health care reform insurance company corporate welfare law.

"Sexual relations," actually. And the definition provided at the deposition was a definition of rape on federal property. Under the doctrine of mitior sensus Clinton did not commit perjury.

Problem is, he also didn't tell the "whole truth." There are times when a "yes" or "no" answer is not sufficient to answer a question truthfully.

For the purposes of this deposition, a person engages in "sexual relations" when the person knowingly engages in or causes -

(1) contact with the genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, or buttocks of any person with an intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person;
