Don't you love it when Republicans start comparing sins?
So this evening I heard a soundbite of Newt Gingrich and his I HAVE SINNED moment on James Dobson's show.
And he justified standing in judgement of President Clinton's relationship with Monica Lewinsky, WHILE he was having his own extracurricular activites, by saying that he may have had an affair, but he didn't lie about it under oath.
Oh, okay....I guess it's ok to cheat on your wife, as long as you don't have to testify about it in a court of law?
A few things stand out at me. One, you see Republicans like Gingrich trying to compare sins....Oh, I was bad, but this person was worse.
Secondly, you see them trying to say that the Clinton impeachment was not about sex, but about lying under oath. Make no mistake about it, the Clinton impeachment was all about sex and nothing but.
Just read the Starr report. See how many times the word cigar is mentioned, vs. the number of times Whitewater is mentioned. It's a 9 to 1 ratio.
