Breathtaking hypocrisy

[billyskank]

Really, these people are amazing. It takes my breath away (my bold):

The New York Times reports that “allies of the White House suggested Sunday that they intended to pursue a strategy of attacking any criminal charges as a disagreement over legal technicalities or the product of an overzealous prosecutor” and that, in what appears to be a coordinated Congressional and White House attack, “allies of the White House have quietly been circulating talking points in recent days among Republicans sympathetic to the administration, seeking to help them make the case that bringing charges like perjury mean the prosecutor does not have a strong case."

Before the Congress and the American people can consider the possibility of a White House cover up, it will have to penetrate the smokescreen of character assassination and RNC talking points. This sort of misdirection is nothing new to this White House. The weapons they will use will be the same used to defame Ambassador Joe Wilson; in the words of a Republican Congressional aide months ago, “it’s slime and defend.”

Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson was tapped to test drive the strategy on this weekend’s edition of “Meet the Press.” As if insider trading were at all comparable to alleged treason, Senator Hutchinson attempted to draw parallels between the Fitzgerald investigation and the Martha Stewart trial: mere perjury under oath shouldn’t really bring criminal sanctions, she argued, "where they couldn't find a crime and they indict on something that she said about something that wasn't a crime." Senator Hutchinson further expressed her hope that the grand jury would not “go to something just to show that their two years of investigation was not a waste of time and taxpayer dollars."

Anybody care to remember what it was that Clinton did that was supposed to be worth impeaching him for? Lying about an indiscretion, IIRC... I suppose it would be too much to expect the Democratic leadership to point this out, if this slime actually comes out and needs rebutting. :grr:
