Apparently I have to continue to correct the record, over and over and over.

This time it’s Vic Rubenfeld:

Frankly, I have to put a lot of blame for this on the Republicans, for using this tactic to impeach Bill Clinton. Having sex isn’t a crime, but he was impeached for lying about it.

Well, maybe if you were familiar with what actually happened, you wouldn’t have to do that.

Bill Clinton was not impeached for “lying about sex.” He was impeached for perjury, subornation of perjury from others, witness intimidation, and obstruction of justice, in the service of preventing a young woman from getting a fair trial in a civil law suit under a law that he signed with his own pen, but thought shouldn’t apply to King William. And he did this after having taken an oath to see that the laws of the land were faithfully executed.

Those aren’t my opinions. They’re black-letter facts. If you people are going to continue to whine about Clinton’s impeachment, at least get the history correct. Of course, this kind of spinning nonsense and mischaracterization of the president’s behavior was occurring in the media at the time, 24/7, so I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that people are still at it.
