As to fucked politics, you are the one, sir. You are willing to throw away the rule of law and the Independent Counsel system in order to protect the sorry hide of Bill Clinton, the man who gave us "managed care," "welfare reform," the DLC, and so on.
As to witness credibility mattering, it matters in every case. Go down and watch a trial, any trial.
On the suit's merit: You did say it mattered. Go back and read your original posting. Ah, but you don't care about truth and process. All you want is to get your way. (And your way is Bill Clinton.)
Sad.

I didn't say the (probably non-existent) merits of the lawsuit mattered. I claimed that the irrelevance of Clinton's testimony mattered, and it does. Point me to a case in which someone got nailed for providing misleading _immaterial_ testimony in a civil trial.
If you really don't think it matters that Starr et al. set a perjury trap (and by "matters" I don't mean exonerates Clinton), your politics are seriously fucked.
