If Only Bush Had Gotten A Blow Job
A new ARG poll has folks talking. 45% want Bush impeachment hearings to begin, while 54% would like to see Dick Cheney impeachment proceedings begin. The numbers for Clinton were not so high. Yet for months and months the cable talking heads could speak of nothing else other than Clinton needing to resign or get impeached because he lied about consensual sex in a civil lawsuit accusing him of sexual harassment.
Quite simply a question needs to be asked of Chris Matthews, Maureen Dowd, David Broder, and the rest of the gang in Washington's power circles. Why is lying about a blow job or two worse than subverting the constitution? All of those Washington wags should be flooded with this question. They are silent on impeaching Bush and Cheney, even though a vastly larger group of people want it. They demanded that Clinton leave their town because he spilled his seed.
Lying about blow jobs is worse than ________ and here is why.__________________
1. calling the Geneva conventions quaint
2. torturing people ourselves or sending them to Syria to have them do it for us
3. violating the FISA act and wiretapping americans without a warrant
4. subverting the Department of Justice by politicizing the legal system
5. outing a CIA operative to retaliate against her husband
6. thinking that habeus corpus has had a good 800 year run and should be retired
Any media member please feel free to email me at the address at the top of this page. All responses will be kept confidential. I just want to understand the thinking.
The rage against Clinton was real. The lack of giving a shit about Bush violating the constitution continually is just as genuine. The thinking is what has never been adequately explained.
Clinton was a real cad. Don't get me wrong. It's just that I would rather my president be getting illicit sex than authorising electrical currents being applied to people's genitals without even proof of their committing a crime. My values must be twisted.
Readers, can you explain the two reactions? Puritan morality? Situational ethics? Hypocrisy?
