The Scooter Libby hypocrisy: Well, that didn't take long.


Darn. Now that Scooter Libby's been convicted on three counts of perjury and a fourth count of obstruction of justice, I was going to have a pool to see how long it would take before the same people who howled about how Bill Clinton should be impeached for lying under oath about a mere blowjob started demanding that Libby, who perjured himself three times about exposing a covert CIA operative and jeopardized national security should, of course, be pardoned.

Like I said, I was going to have a pool but ... too late ... the nauseating hypocrisy has already started.

P.S. Bush is, of course, going to pardon Libby. And all those law-and-order, "But Clinton lied under oath" conservatives are going to applaud heartily and won't, for a second, recognize their own ridiculous hypocrisy.

I mean, why start now?

BONUS ASSHATTERY: It's not just that the asshat demographic has the world's shortest attention span:

ASSHAT DEMOGRAPHIC: "Clinton was impeached because he lied under oath. It wasn't the sex, it's because he lied under oath!"

SANE PERSON: "Um ... Scooter Libby lied three times under oath, and about something way more important than a freakin' blowjob."

AD: "Yeah, well ... um ... Sandy Berger! Sandy Berger!"

Not to mention that assclowns like Jonathan are still either too dense or too dishonest to admit that the whole "Berger stuffed documents in his pants" is just an urban legend. But, hey, why mess with an urban legend when it's so gosh-darned convenient, right?

oh for crap sakes, at the end of his post strong huffs and puffs, oh yeah, what about sandy berger.

from cnn:

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger was sentenced Thursday to community service and probation and fined $50,000 for illegally removing highly classified documents from the National Archives and intentionally destroying some of them."

tried, convicted and sentenced. somehow he sees that as a reason to pardon scooter. what a complete asshat. and the asshat is the jaunty choice of topper to cover good old shit for brains.

It honestly astounds me how people *coughrepublicans* can not see their own hypocrisy. Either that or they're so corrupt they just don't care. Perhaps a little from column A and a little from column B.
