What Kay Bailey Hutchinson REALLY believes about indictments ->
Edited on Tue Oct-25-05 07:48 PM by msongs
the following is quoted by Alec Baldwin on the huffington blog of October 24: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alec-baldwin/what-happened-to-the-part_b_9402.html
her statement from the
Congressional record dated February 17th, 1999 (concerns our friend Bill Clinton, I believe):

"I do not hold the view of our Constitution that there must be an actual, indictable crime in order for an act of a public officer to be impeachable. It is clear to this Senator that there are, indeed, circumstances, short of a felony criminal offense, that would justify the removal of a public officer from office, including the President of the United States. Manifest injury to the Office of the President, to our Nation and to the American people and gross abuse of trust and of public office clearly can reach the level of intensity that would justify the impeachment and removal of a leader."

1. Yeah.
She just made a complete ass out of herself on national television a short time ago with this. Complaining that the same damn thing they did to Clinton is now a petty waste of taxpayers' time when it comes to indicting a repug over it.

AH, the party of personal responsibility. Ya gotta love it. Not.
