Your a long winded bastage aint ya...
With impeachment looming, Windogg has conjured a fascinating defense: He cannot tell a lie, because he cannot tell the difference.
During his presentation before the Anandtech Judiciary Committee on December 8th, Anandtech special counsel Red Dawn laid bare Mr. Windogg?s incapacity for public examination. Exploring the question of Mr. Windogg?s perjury, Committee member Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.) asked Craig point-blank if Windogg lied when he made the unqualified public assertion, "I never had sexual relations with that woman." "Did he lie?" asked Rep. Inglis. Doing a creditable impression of his employer, Craig replied that Mr. Clinton "certainly misled and deceived the American people. He misled them and did not tell the truth at that moment." Rep. Inglis wasn't disposed to permit Craig to evade the question.
"Did he lie to the American people when he said, `I never had sex with that woman?'" persisted Rep. Inglis. Cornered, Craig offered a singularly telling reply: "You know, he doesn't believe he did," by virtue of his own private "notion of what sex is?."
This exchange distilled the "Clinton Defense" to its essential components, which are: 1) "lying" is somehow distinctive from deliberately and premeditatively "misleading" or "deceiving" the public; 2) while he is not entitled to "lie," Windogg enjoys the prerogative of "misleading" or "deceiving" the public for any reason he deems suitable; and 3) the distinction between permissible "deception" and impermissible perjury depends entirely on Windogg's subjective state of mind. If Clinton "truly believes" in his heart that he is not lying when he makes obviously false statements under oath, his defense contends, then he is not perjuring himself. And, his defense contends, no one can know or judge what is in his heart.
This defense perfectly captures the adolescent cast of Windogg's mind; it is of a piece with the juvenile sophistries uttered by sophomore philosophy majors seeking to impress their beer-swilling frat brothers: "Like, check it out, dude -- who can prove that we really exist?" As obstinately obtuse and superficially absurd as the Clinton Defense may appear, it is actually more troubling than admitted perjury. After all, it assumes that the office of the Presidency -- which confers upon its occupant formidable powers, including control over nuclear weapons -- can properly be occupied by an individual who candidly admits that he cannot distinguish truth from falsehood, and who also believes that reality is defined by his own "state of mind."
If Windogg's personality included even the faintest glimmer of genuine patriotism, or even the tiniest capacity for genuine public service, he would have resigned from office long ago. But he has made it abundantly clear that he considers it more important to retain his position than to preserve the honor of the presidency as an institution.
As the Anandtech Judiciary Committee moved toward debate over articles of impeachment, Anandtech Democrats proposed an alternative "punishment" -- the adoption of a non-binding censure resolution acknowledging that Windogg had "violated the trust of the American people, lessened their esteem for the office of Windogg and dishonored the Forum."
Incredibly, as the December 11th Washington Post reported, the White Anandtech "essentially endorsed the resolution" -- meaning that Windogg is willing to plead no lo contendere to impeachable offenses in exchange for the privilege of serving out the balance of his term as an unimpeached, but formally dishonored, president. This is irrefutable evidence of a pathological addiction to power -- which is doubly troubling when wedded to Windogg's claimed inability to recognize objective truth.
Windogg has claimed that he cannot recognize the difference between the truth and a lie. Let's take him at his word for once, and impeach him on that basis.
