Let the Rule of Law Prevail (WaPo)
This is a great read from todays WaPo. Its author, Terry Neal calls out the Repuke hypocrites for what they were during Clinton and their sorry ass excuses of today. What goes around comes around and the Repukes are squealing like stuck pigs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In the 1990s, "rule of law" was hot.

In the 2000s, not so much.

Republicans, who impeached and tried to remove a president who lied about his private sex life, have now decided that the whole "rule of law" thing really isn't all it's cut out to be.

<snip>

Today's strategy differs quite remarkably from the 1990s, when Republicans sought to hold Clinton, Vice President Gore, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and their aides and advisers to the strict letter of the law, in Whitewater, Travelgate, the Chinese campaign finance scandal, and of course, the Lewinsky imbroglio.

"Rule of law!" was the rallying cry.
