"...not some perjury technicality"
Posted by Jill | 3:25 PM

You know, just when I think I've seen every possible permutation of Republican hypocrisy there is, one of them says something so mind-bogglingly lunatic it still makes my jaw drop.

Kay Bailey Hutchison, today on Press the Meat:

I certainly hope that if there is going to be an indictment that says something happened, that it is an indictment on a crime and not some perjury technicality where they couldn’t indict on the crime so they go to something just to show that their two years of investigation were not a waste of time and dollars.


Funny, this isn't what she and other Republicans thought when it was lies about sex instead of revealing the name of a CIA NOC, which may very well have resulted in people's deaths.

Here's what she said then:

(i) The President of the United States willfully, and with intent to deceive, gave false and misleading testimony under oath with respect to material matters that were pending before the Federal grand jury on August 17, 1998, as alleged in Article I presented to the Senate. I, therefore, vote `Guilty' on Article I of the Articles of Impeachment of the President in this Proceeding.

(ii) The President of the United States engaged in a pattern of conduct, performed acts of willful deception, and told and disseminated massive falsehoods, including lies told directly to the American people, that were designed and corruptly calculated to impede, obstruct, and prevent the plaintiff in the Arkansas Federal sexual harassment case from seeking and obtaining justice in the Federal court system of the United States, and to further prevent the Federal grand jury from performing its functions and responsibilities under law, I, therefore, vote `Guilty' on Article II of the Articles of Impeachment of the President in this proceeding.


Hypocrite. But a good little brownshirt.
