Wrong, he has NEVER admitted to having "sex with Monica."  Once again, he
did admit to having an "inappropriate relationship" with her.  As far as the
definitions are concerned, they are irrelevant.  In his grand jury
testimony, clarification of the definitions may have been established, but
he has never admitted to having "sex with Monica" forthright.  Furthermore,
some of the censure proposals coming from the Senate suggest that Clinton
would have to admit to his crimes of perjury and to his dishonesty about the
relationship with Monica.  In other words, he will probably be forced to
admit that he has "had sex with Monica" under oath in front of Congress.

Wrong!  Nixon had strong support even on the day of his resignation.  Yes,
as the hearings progressed, Nixon lost a great deal of support, but even on
the days before his resignation, polls showed that only 40-45% of "the
people" wanted him to leave or be removed from office.  Those are the same
figures Clinton had the day after the House impeachment...

BTW, Nixon still had high job approval ratings...
