There's an old joke that goes like this...
Q: Why are politicians like porn stars?
A: Both are comfortable changing positions in front of the camera.
(I'm sure others can come up with more creative answers)
For example: last week, Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said she hoped that if 'Scooter' Libby and Karl Rove were indicted, it would be for actually leaking the name of the CIA agent, not for perjury, which she called a "technicality."
Hutchison's spokesman, Chris Paulitz, said on Monday that the senator was not commenting on any specific investigation, but rather "was expressing her general concern that perjury traps have become too common when investigators are unable to indict on any underlying crime."
Libby, who was a top aide to Vice-President Cheney, was indeed indicted on five counts of perjury and obstruction of justice.
How did Sen. Hutchison vote on articles of impeachment against then-president Bill Clinton: one article for obstruction of justice and one article for the 'technicality' of perjury'?
She voted guilty on both counts.
So much for the unchanging ethical and moral standards some people claim to believe in.
