There's no underlying crime.... :sigh: [View All]

[radfringe]

my dad and I are about as far apart on politics as anyone can get. Even questions like "how's the weather by you" can quickly erupt into a debate about global warming

ennywho - he calls me last night just to say hello and ask how my new job is going.

don't know why, but he brings up the Libby commutation and launches into the "no underlying crime" crap

I let him go on about it for a few minutes then I ask him where the underlying crime was that led to the perjury charges against Clinton? If bringing perjury and obstruction charges against Libby was wrong because there was no underlying crime, then the perjury charges and impeachment against Clinton was wrong because NO ONE was ever charged and tried in a court of law for a blowjob.

of course I got the standard one-excuse-fits-all "that's different" and he suddenly "hears" my mother calling him for something...
