Description

After the exploration of President Johnson's lies with Major McMaster (above), we get an exploration of President Clinton's very different lies with Ms. Coulter. There is some serious discussion of what James Madison and his colleagues meant by "high

crimes and misdemeanors" and what impeachment of a President would mean to the nation; but there is also a great deal of unbridled contempt for William Jefferson Clinton. AC: "We already know he's a pervert, he's a creep, he's a liar, he obstructs justice. He appears to actually be a criminal. And it is going to bring him down in our esteem that Congress finally gets around to saying, 'Oh, and we censure you'? ... A solemn censure of, say, President Carter or President Reagan would have been a stigma because that would have been the worst thing you could say about either of them. But you are already talking about a man who has absolutely no reputation, no shame, no dignity."
