You've really got nothing else going for you, do you?
@OmSigDAVID,
You said he committed perjury, a pretty serious allegation, and now you can't or won't back it up.

That 's right. I did not expect to be challenged on such a non-controversial statement
(as if I said that the sun rises in the east).
That was well known at the time, but convincing u gets me nothing; unpaid work.
Believe that he was innocent, if u want.
I don't expect to impeach Clinton again.
@OmSigDAVID,
Typical of your lies, Om.
@OmSigDAVID,
The Senate would have voted 100--0 that the sun rises in the east.
Are you being paid for your other posts?
Why are you backing down in this abject fashion Dave?

Its not abject.
I need not run a school to remind everyone of that scandal.
He is already out. I 'm too lazy to be bothered with it.
It had not occurred to me
that anyone wud challenge so well known a proposition.
Believe that he was innocent, if u want; its not important.
David
I can't believe that just this once I'm on David's side in this non-argument. What the hell's the point of questioning David on a well-known historical fact, Spendi, i.e. that Clinton was impeached on a charge of perjury? Do you just like to overload these threads with arrant nonsense or what? Had you posted that stupid question to my attention, I would have retorted that if you don't know what 'perjury' means, go consult a dictionary; if you don't know what specific perjury the President was acccused of, go and open a history book. Or Google it on Wikipedia. Whatever.
(Just for the record, I quite liked President Clinton and thought that the charges he was brought up on were absurd, to put it mildly. He was maneuvered into the so-called 'perjury' by a partisan panel which asked the President questions which it had no legal or moral right to ask at a public hearing. Had I been in his shoes and some GOP member of congress asked me, "Did you have sex with [Monica Lewinski]?" my answer would have been, "None of your ******* business, you clown!" Then, of course, I might well have been impeached for contempt of Congress. The point is that all it was, was the Republicans trying to get even for the job the Democrats had done of Tricky Dick Nixon. That's absolutely all there was to the Lewinski case.)
I still don't understand why you keep beating this decedent nag, though, Spendi.
@Lustig Andrei,
This is the question I asked--
Quote:What was the perjury? Your saying he committed perjury proves nothing.
What was the perjury? Saying that Mr Clinton committed perjury denigrates him and also the US Justice system for failing the bring a perjurer to punishment.
I didn't beat this nag. Dave did.
The GOP member of Congress had no need to ask the question. There was forensic if I remember.

You're absolutely correct. So, that being the case, what is he point of asking a question to which you already know the answer?
@Lustig Andrei,
The question I asked was --what was the perjury?
I didn't think I could comment on the subject if I didn't know what Dave was referring to.
@Lustig Andrei,

Nope, Merry, back to Civics 101 for you.
My mother landed at Normandy on June 22, 1944. Yes, it's true . . . my mother wore army boots.
Here she is on her way to meet with the Resistance
Nah . . . no one could resist her . . .
On a serious note; the nurses started arriving June 15th 1944
We have a photo of my mother, wearing fatigues and a steel pot helmet like that, sitting behind one of those big-ass water-cooled machine guns at the training center in the desert before they shipped them overseas.
I'd love to see it.
My mom in Sydney Australia in 1944. She was crazy about Yank fliers.
@Setanta,
My father arrived in July 1945 in Normandy. Stayed there two years (then one year in northern France)
He stayed in the typical houses of that region and that period
But only for a very period - then he could his own home
His salary (as head physician of the interior department in Cherbourg and family doctor in Douai) can't be compared to what doctors earn today
These photos/documents have been exhibited during in Sandhurst/UK recently and are now (with some more, which I owned) on display in the museum in Caen. (All that plus about 600 letters France [and more from Russia and Germany] will be archived in archive of Normandy in St. Lo.)
@Walter Hinteler,
Was he in a hospital Walter?
