On Fri, 30 Dec 2005 19:53:19 GMT, "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in . net:: Clinton lied repeatedly under oath. Among his lies was his response to the question, "I think I used the term 'sexual affair.' And so the record is completely clear, have you ever had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky, as that term is defined in Deposition Exhibit 1, as modified by the Court?" His answer was, "I have never had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky. I've never had an affair with her." I've had some trouble parsing your sentences above, but here's a fair analysis of the issue: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv...jury092498.htm Clinton asserted his answers were technically accurate. He considered an affair to mean intercourse and interpreted "sexual relations" not to include oral sex performed on him. "Sexual relations" was defined as follows: "A person engages in 'sexual relations' when the person knowingly engages in or causes 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." However, Marriam-Webster's definition is: Main Entry:sexual relations Function:noun plural Date:1950 : COITUS Main Entry:coitus Pronunciation:*k*-*-t*s, k*-**-, *k*i-t*s Function:noun Etymology:Latin, from coire Date:1855 : physical union of male and female genitalia accompanied by rhythmic movements usually leading to the ejaculation of semen from the penis into the female reproductive tract; also : INTERCOURSE 3 compare ORGASM –coital \-t*l\ adjective –coitally \-t*l-*\ adverb So, while Clinton's statement may not have agreed with the legal definition of 'sexual relations', his statement appears to have been consistent with the accepted meaning of the phrase. You better run for office as you use logic that only politicians can appreciate. That is almost as good as saying that Vietnam wasn't a war, but just a "police action." Matt |
