150. Umm, the "under oath" part came at the tail end of the investigation
not before it!

You're right, it was wrong for them to impeach him. It was also wrong to investigate it in the first place. Which is the whole point of the matter. The Republicans spent years looking for something, anything, that they could nail Clinton with. If it hadn't been this, they'd have kept trying. Whitewater, Socks' Christmas cards, Vince Foster's "murder" etc etc. Again, he wouldn't have had to DO anything for them to have investigated, because it was all revenge for Nixon.

You don't seriously think that, had he "held himself to higher standards" the investigations or even possibly the impeachment wouldn't have happened do you? They were out for blood and they were going to get it.

If he had dyed his hair, Republicans probably would have claims he was "willfully deceiving the American people by trying to make himself appear younger and thus mask potential health problems that could impede with his ability to carry out his duties." Sound funny? Well that's what they would have resorted to.
