Yeesh...I almost missed that one!!
Perjury is perjury. You are lying under oath. It is a crime. Subject is of little importance.
And by the way...Bill's affair w/ Monica may have at the time been part of his 'private life', but once it became an issue in the Paula Jones lawsuit it was no longer a private matter. He swore an oath to tell the truth, and knowingly did not.
That's why he was impeached.
That's why he lost his law license for however many years it was suspended (anyone know if he's got it back yet?).
Were it not for that blue dress, he'd have gotten away with his crime and we'd all be in ignorant bliss today. But that was not to be the case.
So that's what the big deal is.
