He was not being tried; he was testifying before a grand jury. A trial is a criminal proceeding in which a person formally charged with a crime appears with legal counsel before a judge and/or jury. Clinton was subpoenaed but not charged with a crime.

Ignore, ignore, ignore. Otherwise, derailment appears to be your only other option.

I would believe this is another of those "I heard it on the Internet so it must be true" urban legends.. If you do your homework, you will find that Kerry received more MSFT money than Bush..

I guess you are not disputing the fact that he lied under oath..

So Microsoft bribed both the Democrats and the Republicans. How does that change that the second Bush became president (and I think this would've happened regardless who became president) nearly everything about the case was dropped, new lawyers brought in, and then Microsoft got a simple slap on the wrist. Hell, they practically got rewarded.

Freakin' rediculous, I hate this administration.
