    If Clinton's White House had done this...

    can you imagine the uproar from the Republicans if the Clinton White House had done this? It would be deafening. And the SCLM would have made it front page, lead story news, and it would remain at the top of the news cycle for weeks. Republicans in Congress, and their talking hand puppets on FOX News, would be screaming for impeachment.

    I don't know which makes me more disgusted: 1) the act itself; 2) our lack of surprise at it; or 3) the fact that our news media doesn't seem to find this newsworthy.

    But I'm disgusted all the same.
