GOP hoist on their own petard.
What goes around comes around, as my mother used to say. Today we read that Republican House Majority leader DeLay has been indicted by a Democratic politically motivated prosecutor and his grand jury. "For GOP, a troubled year gets worse. DeLay indictment represents significant blow to Republican Party," MSNBC.
A very few years ago it was DeLay and the self-righteous talking Republicans who were impeaching Bill Clinton in a politically motivated sham trial. The right way to practice politics is to present good candidates, support issues that the people want, take care of the people's business and campaign for election. The wrong way to practice politics is to trump up phony or trivial legal charges against your opponent from the other party. During the Clinton impeachment hearings, Bob strongly advised the GOP and their talk radio supporters that they were opening a huge can of dirty politics worms that they would live to regret. As DeLay has now learned the hard way, what goes around, comes around. The Dems can play the dirty politics game too, and the Reps who practiced filthy politics trying to oust Clinton by means other than elections now richly deserve their comeuppance.

Bob,
I don't believe that Congress was going after Clinton because of sex. They were going after him because of technology he sold to COMMUNIST China,because he had illegally obtained FBI files of Congressmen and the suspicious death of Vince Foster.
Masculist Man
Yes, Masculist Man, the GOP hated Clinton almost as much as the Donkeys hate Bush. They used sex as their excuse to impeach him but it was motivated by political hate. The proper way to get rid of a politician you hate is to organize your own party and run a better candidate at the next election. GOP's hate tactics, impeachment and smears, was a large part of the cause of the Donkey hate of Bush and the GOP. They are reaping what they have sown. It wasn't about sex at all. That was an excuse.
