I didn't really care that much when I heard Gingrich cheated on and then dumped his hospitalized wife either, other than the hypocrisy was interesting to note. So unlike some I apply those standards equally. I don't like any of that type of behavior. BUT, was Gingrich being investigated in a sexual harassment charge? You mean the one that was dismissed? And, did Gingrich lie to a grand jury? Neither did Clinton. And, did Gingrich conduct his dalliance on the floor of the Senate, which some consider something akin to hallowed ground? Clinton did what he did in his home at the time. There was no perjury. Clinton was never convicted or even so much as indicted for any such crime, or any other crime for that matter. If you're not familiar with the facts of the situation, you should better educate yourself before you comment. Impeachment, which did occur, is a pretty good indictment. Impeachment is a political process, not a criminal process. You might also want to check the US Constitution sometime for the grounds required for such an act and you might discover you have the cart before the horse. Republicans couldn't win at the ballot box, so they went after Clinton with politically motivated civil suits and politically motivated Special Counsel investigations. When both of those failed they went after Clinton with a partisan political process (and failed again). There is no doubt that much of the prosecution was politically motivated. However, had he been less of a liar and miscreant, such prosecution wouldn't have had much traction. So you justify one party subverting the civil legal process, the criminal legal process, and the political process simply because Clinton got a hummer and was less than forthcoming about it. Brilliant! Now, what does all this have to do with piloting??? Check the OT on the subject line. |
