Not-So-Smart AlecPosting over at the HuffPo,
he notes:
In today's NY Times, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, Republican of Texas, in reference to the Fitzgerald/CIA leak investigation, is quoted as saying that she hoped "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 and so they go to something just to show that their two years of investigation was not a waste of time and taxpayer dollars."
If you check the online record you will see that this is the same Kay Bailey Hutchison that voted in favor of both counts of impeachment against Bill Clinton. More disturbingly, she writes in the Congressional record dated February 17th, 1999....Typical HuffPoer, he sees the mote in Kay's eyes and doesn't notice the beam in his own. Senator Hutchison is a hypocrite because she voted in favor of impeaching Bill Clinton for perjury, but now she's decrying the possibility that perjury will be the only basis for indictments of White House staffers.
Of course, it's not too hard to turn this hypocrisy argument around on not-so-smart Alec. He obviously supports the indictment of Republican White House staffers for perjury. So did he support the impeachment of Bill Clinton? It's hardly necessary
to ask, right?
