SIGH...SO WAS HE LYING THEN OR IS HE LYING NOW?: CNN reports that Bill Clinton's new book contradicts testimony he gave in 1998.

In his 1998 testimony, the former president said, "When I was alone with Ms. Lewinsky on certain occasions in early 1996 and once in early 1997, I engaged in conduct that was wrong." That timeline would have put the start of the affair after Lewinsky had completed her White House internship and had taken a staff job.

But on page 773 of his book, "My Life," Clinton said, "During the government shutdown in late 1995, when very few people were allowed to come to work in the White House and those who were there were working late, I'd had an inappropriate encounter with Monica Lewinsky and would do so again on other occasions between November and April, when she left the White House for the Pentagon."

Yeah, I'm shocked too.
