Perjury: It's a Good Thing

Poor Kay Bailey Hutchison. She owes her entire political life to the Bushies, and here they are using her as a great airy test balloon emblazoned with the lamest response to the CIA leak investigation yet: That perjury isn't really a crime. That excuse sounded disingenuous when people were lying about blow jobs, it sounds positively unhinged when people are lying about national security issues. But Kay has a crafty rhetorical maneuver up her St. John's knit sleeve: She tries to create sympathy for the beleaguered White House by comparing them to... Martha Stewart. "Look at Martha Stewart, for instance, " she said on Meet the Press, "where they couldn't find a crime and they indict on something that she said about something that wasn't a crime." Of course.

Neither Gedwin, nor Wetzel (under last 7 days) linked the article, but Wetzel for 30 days did. cheers Posted by: erichwwk at October 6, 2005 12:38 PM Steve, I know people make policy, and appointed positions are important indicators of policy, but don't turn this into a personnel gossip rag about every wacky neocon who gets an appointment. Don't lose sight of the fundamental policy concerns you have, because its unseemly for such a great thinker to appear to get embroiled in the personalities. I know you've articulated the policy issues before, but just because the Post has a nice op-ed page doesn't make the Reliable Source any less gossipy. Keep your eye on the prize.
