It's amazing how many threads in P&N descend into a Clinton argument, especially when Clinton is totally irrelevant to the topic at hand. Even Fox News doesn't play that tired old card so often.

How is recent history irrelevent?

We have two Presidents, one commits nothing more than a private issue, is grilled mercilessly, and eventually caught lying. Another lies, but not under oath, misleads, and leads the country down the wrong path. The same guy also violates our laws and tramples our rights, yet there is not one investigation, no testimony, no grilling.

The double standard is astounding, yet people like you find no relevence. It's like saying that we shouldn't compare a theif to a murderer in considering whether they should be tried equally.

Does he intend that to apply to Iraq and torturing "detainees," too? :shocked:

Mr. Kennedy has criticized Speaker Hastert. Mr. Kennedy has no place criticizing anyone, considering his egregious past. Shays was simply pointing this out, and rightly so. AFAIK of him, Shays is not a republican I would vote for or support, but what he said is correct.

Kennedy's past has nothing to do with the validity of his criticisms.

It does if you don't want to hear it.
