Very nice! You are the technical one, aren't you? Usually I think your answers are a bunch of bunk, but this time, I'm impressed! Thanks! ;)

oops...
I think the proper term would be "present tense"....
I had to get SOMETHING on you.

Current tense associative verb. Defines equivalence or links an individual to a current state of being or action.
As opposed to past or perfect tense ("was") which indicates a non-current state. It's like asking someone who is at home if they are in their car. The answer is no. They were, but are not now.
It's an annoying technicality, and while it may work in some situations, an attorney owes a duty of candor to the court (or Congress when testifying under oath) and cannot split distinctions like that without committing an ethical violation.

You stumble on something called situational ethics. Breifly put, how you react depends on the situation. People who believe this do not have a core belief system and do not have a spine to stand up for something.
Right and wrong is black and white. There is no gray. Sleeping around on your wife is wrong. Perjury is wrong.

Who really cares, especially when echoed by Bull (er I mean Bill) Clinton.

Let me take a wild guess...You're a Republican.
Is Rush still talking about Clinton and not about the war?
What time is it there? 1999?
