That wasn't the big one

They handed him a slip of paper with a definition of sex and asked if he accepted it.

The quote that everyone got hung up on was, "That depends on what your definition of 'is' is." It's hard not to see that as twisting the language. If, as some have argued, that's "just what lawyers do," I don't see that as mitigating what Clinton did but as a condemnation of what lawers do.

I can't be a Democrat because I like to spend the money I make.
I can't be a Republican because I like to spend the money I make on drugs and whores.

I see that as a condemnation of

people who elect lawyers as leaders on a regular basis.

I don't hate lawyers. I'd feel the same way if firefighters were elected as often as lawyers are.
