Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, urged people to see what, if any, charges result from the probe. ``Let's tone down the rhetoric, and let's make sure that if there are indictments, that we don't prejudge,'' she said.

========================

HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
:rofl:
What does she think indictments are?

1. "Perjury Technicality"
Can some clever DUer devise a dance called the "perjury technicality?" I think that it could have a beat that would be fun to dance to.

7. Only if Bill Clinton will play the sax...
isn't it funny how perjury was a high crime/misdemeanor when he was alleged to have done it, but now it's a "technicality"?

2. Can we ratchet up the rhetoric all we want AFTER the charges are made?
I'd hate to waste all the party supplies I bought if I can't use them.

And my supermarket won't take the deli platters back.

3. Her brain is like the light on a small electric appliance.
She makes me run shrieking towards the off button, not unlike **.
Unfortunately she is dangerous, because the words that come out sound pompously large enough to have an air of being official.
Gross! She looks like an overstuffed dead grandmother doll that runs on batteries.

5. FLIP - FLOP.
Someone posted these to a thread ealier - I thought I'd share them with anyone who hasn't yet seen them. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, is quite the FLIP-FLOPPER!!!

Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas - regarding Monica-Whitewater-Gate:
"The edifice of American jurisprudence rests on the foundation of the due process of law. The mortar in that foundation is the oath. Those who seek to obstruct justice weaken that foundation, and those who violate the oath would tear the whole structure down.

Every day, thousands of citizens in thousands of courtrooms across America are sworn in as jurors, as grand jurors, as witnesses, as defendants. On those oaths rest the due process of law upon which all of our other rights are based.

The oath is how we defend ourselves against those who would subvert our system by breaking our laws. There are Americans in jail today because they violated that oath. Others have prevailed at the bar of justice because of that oath.

What would we be telling Americans -- and those worldwide who see in America what they can only hope for in their own countries -- if the Senate of the United States were to conclude: The President lied under oath as an element of a scheme to obstruct the due process of law, but we chose to look the other way?

I cannot make that choice. I cannot look away. I vote `Guilty' on Article I, Perjury. I vote `Guilty' on Article II, Obstruction of Justice.

I ask unanimous consent an analysis of the Articles of Impeachment be printed in the Record."

Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas - regarding PlameGate:

"I certainly hope that if there is going to be an indictment that says something happened, that it is an indictment on a crime and not some perjury technicality where they couldn’t indict on the crime so they go to something just to show that their two years of investigation were not a waste of time and dollars."

Could she get MORE TWO-FACED or CLEARLY PARTISAN???

6. "Innocent till proven guilty"------available only to republicans.
www.firedoglake.com, a blog by Jane Hamsher and others, has some hilarious stuff about Kay B. Hutchinson's contradictions. It seems that some of the Honorable Ms. Hutchinson's Clinton-era spew has come back to haunt her as she plays her current part of "pious, impartial, observer".
