Blame Bill

Once again, Republicans are using the Clinton dodge -- he did it too! -- to justify the Bush administration's unjustified firing of eight U.S. attorneys.

GOP and neocon logic

According to the logic used by the administration defenders who keep pointing out that Clinton did it too, but worse, I was pondering the following:

If Bush or any senior administration official were to be caught with their pants around their ankles with an intern or worse and underage person, would they also say that what Clinton and Monica Lewinski did was worse?

The other day I saw some numbers on how many democrats have been investigaged during the Bush presidency compared to Republicans. It apparently was about a ratio of 5 to 1 (Sorry I don't have the reference) Keeping that in mind, and then you look at the results of how many Republicans are actually in trouble compared to Democrats; makes you wonder who many Republicans would be in trouble if they were to be investigated at the same rate as Democrats have been so far.

but then again... isn't that business as usual in today's world.
