OK, here's the deal: When Bill Clinton was President, the Republicans went after him hammer and tongs for perjuring himself when he lied about having oral sex with Monica. They were beating the drums about how this lapse was of major importance...important enough to warrant impeachment. Now, however, when it is the Republicans who are hoist on that same petard, they are singing a different tune. According to their talking points, a little perjury is acceptable when you are doing the nation's business.

This is unacceptable. What is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander. If Bill's attempt to avoid sleeping on the sofa for the rest of his life is an impeachable offense, then surely lying about the reasons this administration has sent over 2000 of our fellow citizens to their deaths must also be worthy of censure. If we, the American Public, let the Republicans get away with this, then we cannot complain when the Bush Administration finishes its agenda of turning this democracy based Republic into an Oligarchy run by the Bush handlers and cronies.
