Perjury

It's fun watching the Republicans try to down play a perjury charge as they wait for Fitzgerald to announce his findings. They were so outraged when it was Clinton being called for it. So todays
flip-flop-flip is Senator Kay Baily Hutchison (R-TX). Against Clinton perjury was important, over the weekend it was a technicality, today it's a terrible crime. Fun fun fun.

I'll go further though. Clinton's perjury was about if he had sex with a (consenting adult) intern. The perjury charges being talked about are related to national security, lying to the nation about going to war, and about an administration retaliating against a whistle blower by destroying his wife's career. I'd they are all far more serious than Clinton's. For one thing, I think they are all crimes while Clinton's actions were merely immoral.
