Compare and contrast:

1995: Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN), then chair of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, investigated whether taxpayers were footing the cost of stationery and postage for the fan club dedicated to President Clinton’s cat, Socks. (They were not - and it turns out Barbara Bush’s dog Millie had a fan club too.)

2005: Two weeks ago, President Bush admitted he willfully flouted a law that requires him to get warrants before wiretapping U.S. citizens. His justification for ignoring the law appears to be nobless oblige. In reaction, Republicans in charge of the Senate Judiciary Committee announced on Friday that they are planning “oversight” hearings into the matter.

The president has admitted he broke the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) hundreds of times. Isn’t it a bit late for “oversight?

These are same right-wing handjobs who, acting in complete disregard for the will of the American people, pushed for articles of impeachment when Bill Clinton lied about a personal affair, citing "the rule of law" (ad nauseum) as the paramount issue.

What a bunch of disgusting hypocrites. tsk tsk

Ironic quote of the day...

"This nation sits at a crossroads. One direction points to the higher road of the rule of law.... The other road is the path of least resistance" in which "we pitch the law completely overboard when the mood fits us...[and] close our eyes to the potential lawbreaking...and tear an unfixable hole in our legal system."

- That arbiter of moral politics, Tom DeLay, currently under indictment on corruption charges, incensed about the danger of letting Bill Clinton escape unpunished for his "crimes" - lying about sex.
