It's not about "politics" when it makes the Repubs look bad....
As Lindsey Graham said in response to some of General Clark's comments this morning on MTP. This should not be about Democrats or Republicans, he said. And he is correct but one cannot help but notice that they do not wish it to be about "politics" when it makes them look like incompetent ogres...But they laid the template for "political" charges, including Lindsey Graham, with their making Clinton's personal sex live "political", and going as far to impeach, and ran their campaign in 2000 on "returning honor and integrity to the WH"...Hypocrisy label is overused but it definitely fits, in this case.

1. There's a good reason that "hypocrisy" is overused . . .
These people are going to become the cliche for the word "hypocrisy".

If you can turn a blow-job into the biggest moral stage production ever seen, then you damn sure shouldn't have a problem with questioning a SecDef who mangles the management of an ill-advised war.

2. Yep, we all have to come together ...
have a group hug, and fix the problems together when the repugs fuck it up royally. Dems, on the other hand, should be publically excoriated, humiliated, and destroyed for the most minor infraction.

Assholes.

3. Dimbo Restored Honor To The White House
By thumping "his" Bible and calling his wife a "lump of meat" that shares his bed indicating a sex/love free environment.

It dosen't exactly jibe with the major business frauds running rampant, the Iraqi abuse stories and his mania for extending secrecy to the Dept of Agriculture and the EPA to name a few.

Google robot.txt and the White House and you'll come up with a looooooong list of topics that will never show up in any search engine.

4. good point
Notice how the Republicans scream 'partisanship' when the Democrats are being critical of the chimp, yet aren't they being just as 'partisan' when they defend him? Especially when they defend his crimes, his secrecy, his looting of the American public?

Hell, even the Republicans turned against Nixon. This crowd is so 'partisan' they don't allow a whisper of dissent from their own ranks, yet they freely tag the label on us. Hypocrites.

5. It is so unfortunate that this was not the kind of Forum where Clark could
slap this guy and his nonsense down. . .it is clear that Graham will do what it takes to get to the bottom of this so long as his precious GWB is protected from having to take responsibility for setting the tone/hiring the contractors/blurring the lines that made this all possible.
