Henry Hyde: Clinton Impeachment Was Nixon Retaliation
POS ALERT! POS ALERT! :eyes:

April 22, 2005 — As Congressman Henry Hyde prepares to step down due to poor health, he reflects on 30 years of service and answers a poignant question about leading the Clinton impeachment hearings--Would he do it again?

In an ABC7 exclusive, the eloquent 81-year-old conservative from DuPage County said he has second thoughts about leading the impeachment of President Bill Clinton in 1998 on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice in connection to the Monica Lewinsky affair because the process led to the embarrassing disclosure of Hyde's own extramarital affair in the 1960s. Hyde referred to his affair as a "youthful indiscretion."

1. I can't say I am surprised.
Too bad it's too late to do much about the BS Republicans pulled even back then. But, thankfully they will never learn their lesson and are going so far over the top now we can kick their asses out of office with overwhelming public support in the near future. :)

You sure SOUNDED Like you were sincere.
