: Why ? He has only done what 1000's of people do every day - commit adultery, lie, cheat...they still keep their jobs ! Is he the first politician to lie ?

Well Billy Clinton, did the very silly thing of lying under oath. Being a lawyer and all he should have known better. Contempt of court is a serious offence, no matter who you are (Unfortunately contempt of the public is not an offense at all...)
