Clarence Thomas lied under oath as well, thus committing perjury. But for conservatives it's "OK then" because he wasn't pursued and accused of it. Their moral outrage seems to be limited to "only when we catch the other guy at it".
The point being that there's character flaws in leaders which can be annoying, but don't really affect us, and character flaws that end up dragging the rest of us down the road to disaster. The irony is that conservatives were ready to impeach a President for the former, but desperately trying to defend their President for the latter.
