Here's what you wrote:

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."

The quotation marks do not enclose everything other than the first
sentence (which you claim was the *only* one you wrote.


Look again. The first sentence is not enclosed in quotation marks.

Right. But there are other portions of what you wrote above that are
also not enclosed in quotation marks, however you imply you didn't
write them. Who wrote the text that isn't enclosed in quotations
marks other than the first sentence?

The quotation marks only enclose what Clinton said, apparently. The
quotation you cited is not set within quotation marks or otherwise
indicated to be other than your words.



In the future
you might consider citing the source of your quotations, so that it is
more apparent that they were not written by you.


What would be the point of enclosing my own words in quotation marks?

I have not implied that you should do that. How did you manage to
infer such an inane notion from what I wrote?

In the future you might consider thinking before replying.

What makes you think I didn't?

It should have been obvious that the source was the deposition mentioned
in the articles of impeachment.

It wasn't.

That's what we were discussing.

Please provide the Message-ID of the article in this thread that
mentions the "articles of impeachment." I don't recall seeing that
phrase in this thread at all.

Did I? How did I imply that?

Me.

The quotation marks enclosed a question directed at Clinton and his
response.



The
quotation you cited is not set within quotation marks or otherwise
indicated to be other than your words.


Better look again.



I have not implied that you should do that.


Yes you have.



How did you manage to
infer such an inane notion from what I wrote?


Because that is what is implied by you wrote.



What makes you think I didn't?


You're right. I may have simply overestimated your intelligence.



It wasn't.


But it should have been.

You can stop your pedantic antics. No previous super-power leader should
be so humiliated as Clinton and by his own people least of all.


Clinton's humiliation, if he actually felt any humiliation, was his own
doing.



Really? It "belongs" to the "people" as much as the Constitution, the
Senate and the House? I guess you can just drop in any time for a cup of
tea
since it really "belongs" to you? )) The guy's the world's leader. He
can do
whatever he wants in that office!! Yah, so he lied about a blow job. Big
deal? All lies great and small are equally impeachable? You guys think
it is as important a lie as covering up for breaking into Watergate?


Clinton lied under oath.
