"In October 1998, a similar ad ran during the Monica Lewinsky scandal that led to the impeachment of President Clinton."

RayVega · 09-13-2007, 10:18 AM

Sorry dogg, but "technically" they are correct:

from wikipedia:
President of the United States Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 19, 1998, and acquitted by the Senate on February 12, 1999.

Impeached, just really means that charges were brought up, not that he was found guilty. Same way someone can be indicted, but acquitted at trial.

I hear ya though. It makes it look like he was thrown out of office the way they worded it.

DaddyHalbucks · 09-13-2007, 10:21 AM

Clinton was impeached, and he should have been convicted. Only a corrupt and partisan process saved him.

Hmmm yes he was

dodger21 · 09-13-2007, 10:23 AM

He was impeached. He wasn't convicted. Impeachment doesn't mean being throw out of office.

p1mpdogg · 09-13-2007, 10:25 AM

they twisted the words around.

they could have said

he was broought up for impeachment.

or soemthing similar.

thay make it sound like he was infact impeached and kicked out of office.

dont go getting all politically correct on me

gwkg · 09-13-2007, 11:04 AM

Politically correct and being correct have nothing to do with it - he was impeached.

The House of Representatives indicts or "impeaches" a federal official and that official is tried by the Senate.

Accoriding to your logic, no US President has ever been impeached, when in fact there have been two - and Bill Clinton was one of them.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/impeached

Usage Note: When an irate citizen demands that a disfavored public official be impeached, the citizen clearly intends for the official to be removed from office. This popular use of impeach as a synonym of "throw out" (even if by due process) does not accord with the legal meaning of the word. As recent history has shown, when a public official is impeached, that is, formally accused of wrongdoing, this is only the start of what can be a lengthy process that may or may not lead to the official's removal from office. In strict usage, an official is impeached (accused), tried, and then convicted or acquitted. The vaguer use of impeach reflects disgruntled citizens' indifference to whether the official is forced from office by legal means or chooses to resign to avoid further disgrace.

It's funny how you pick and choose when to believe corruption in politics.

WarChild · 09-13-2007, 11:18 AM

It's funny that you don't even understand what impeached means.

JustJen · 09-13-2007, 11:24 AM

if i remember correctly, the house impeached him, senate did not. he is considered to be the 2nd prez impeached however. bush should be 3rd imho

p1mpdogg · 09-13-2007, 11:54 AM

ok excuse me for not knowing the exact meaning of the word. the way they make it read makes one assume that he was removed from office.

sue me for being ignorant.

That's hilarious: you don't know the meaning of a word, so instead of going to dictionary.com you go to gfy and try to stir up fake drama?

Thanks, I needed a laugh

You've got to be kidding. I doubt you will find anyone over the age of 12 who hasn't done something slightly questionable in his or her time. Did his personal life really get in the way of running the country?

Getting a blow job is WAY more damaging to the country than invading random countries based on lies.
