Once again, I'm hearing voices from the past . . . .

I keep hearing Bill Clinton saying: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman!"

"So Bush did know about the leak, and he did authorize it. What's more, his excuse is a simple one: he wanted to defend himself against attacks on his war policy, so it was OK.

That's exactly what happened, but it's remarkable that he's willing to admit it. Basically, Bush is saying that it's all right for him to selectively leak classified information whenever he feels it would help him politically." (Italics in quotes are Kevin Drum's italics.)

Is everyone okay with this? Even real conservatives? Or only when it's "our" side doing it?

Only when it's our side, silly.

ARGGHHH!

I hate short-sighted people. And I look forward to the looks on their faces when a Democratic president does the same thing to them. Since they created the rules, they won't be in a position to complain much . . . ;^)

That icon doesn't look like you. Is it?

Of course they'll complain. Just like the way they bottled up about a third of Clinton's judicial appointments for the duration and then bellyached when the Democrats held up the worst 5% of Dubya's appointments.

Precisely.

We need better spin on the truth, you know.
