How Protestants Are Like Bill Clinton

This report on Monica Lewinsky got me to thinking about Bill Clinton's infamous question about and difficulty with the definition of "is". Seems to me that most, if not all, Protestants (and probably quite a few poorly catechized Catholics) have a similar difficulty with the word in that they view Jesus' comment in Mt 26:26, "This is my body", as being a statement of symbolism rather than literal. Can you imagine what Jesus would have said had one of the Apostles asked Him for clarification on the meaning of "is"? "Truly, truly I say to you, thou art a blithering idiot. Get a clue."
