    SCANDALS

    Glenn hits the nail on the head with her analysis and in the coffin of the Bush/Cheney tyranny. Representative Hyde admitted that the Impeachment Proceedings were wrong and that they represented "payback" for what the Dems did to Nixon. Lawyers for B/C manufactured bogus legal theories out of thin air as a basis for torture, internment camps, use of foreign internment camps, avoidance of international law (that the US helped create over the last century), as well as refusal to obey lawful subpoenas issued by the Judicial and Legislative Branches of Government. Millions of pages discussing all these issues have already been published and no one has been disciplined for their role in creating the theories or participating directly in the crimes. Dowd gets carried away with her "elite wit" as do others improperly labeled liberals or progressives. When BJ's are lumped together with war crimes, citizens become confused. Clinton and his crew paid dearly for misdemeanors and Bush/Cheney are getting off scott free for felonies.
