NOW that Bill “That-Allegation-Is-False” Clinton has admitted that he is a creep and a liar, the nation is anxiously waiting to see if he also has committed any “high crimes and misdemeanors.” The day after President Clinton admitted that his finger-wagging, eye-squinting assurance in January (“I did not have sex with that woman—Monica Lewinsky”) was not quite accurate, the presidential flacks who had been shouting “allegedly, allegedly” for seven months are trying a new defense.

On August 18, official Dissembler for the President Lanny Davis announced on Crossfire that “lying is not a high crime and misdemeanor.” Even Sen. Orrin Hatch indicated that any impeachment hearings would be limited to “obstruction of justice” and other “serious felonies.” Those, he said, “are high crimes.”
