In this "gotcha" environment, the wise politician knows about the perils of entrapment. And knows not to get backed into a corner where he/she has to lie under oath. The Dems would do the same thing to the Reps and are probably up to some mischief at this time.

It was the Republicans own prosecutor that they had to abandon in Judge Walsh. He was an Oklahoma Republican. Even the Republicans in Oklahoma are better than this national bunch of hypocrites. Let us all have our Special Prosecutors and put the fifty million into the budget as a usual item. Let us eliminate lies! In fact let us make the President the moralist in chief in stead of the Commander in Chief. How about that little bruise on Bush for falling asleep while choking on a piece of pop corn. Sounds like a drunk to me. Once an addict always an addict. Let us just carry this twelve step puritanism to its logical Cromwellian finality and then let us become........right.........ENGLAND! (or maybe Canada?) I love it.
