Contrary to popular opinion, not all Hollywood Democrats are outraged at President Clinton's impeachment. At least one believes it's long overdue.

Actor James Woods -- best known for his screen portrayals of lying, scheming, rotten and generally evil types -- thinks that the president deserved impeachment and, furthermore, that the Senate will end up removing Clinton from office.

Says Woods, 51, who litters his opinions with colorful but unprintable language, "He's a certified liar, a card-carrying liar, and lying is the cancer at the base of the spine of every crime ever committed."

The actor doesn't agree that the pursuit of Clinton is politically motivated, reports The Post's Sharon Waxman.

"I don't even like Republicans by and large, but if they're doing this, maybe they're doing it because they believe in it."

"When I lie, I'm wrong. I'm not a perfect person, but I have perfect ideals. This guy is a [expletive] sociopath. I'm ashamed to be a Democrat."
