More GOP Hypocrisy

Here's an interesting quote from Republican Senator Kay Hutchison on Meet The Press

MR. RUSSERT: Senator Hutchison, you think those comments from the White House are credible?

SEN. HUTCHISON: "Tim, you know, I think we have to remember something here. An indictment of any kind is not a guilty verdict, and I do think we have in this country the right to go to court and have due process and be innocent until proven guilty. And secondly, I certainly hope that if there is going to be an indictment that says something happened, that it is an indictment on a crime and not some perjury technicality where they couldn't indict on the crime and so they go to something just to show that their two years of investigation was not a waste of time and taxpayer dollars...."

Gee kinda like someone lying about a blow job? That wasn't such a technicality for the likes of the GOP when they were pursuing their witch hunt against Clinton. Perjury is only a "technicality" when the person perjuring themselves is a Republican?

How convenient.

If the GOP feels perjuring oneself about a blow job between two consenting adults needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law then shouldn't perjury charges related to the outing of a CIA agent, that endangered people's lives and damaged national security, be pursued with at least the same amount of vigor?

Oh and Sen. Hutchinson you might want to try to be consistent so people won't bring up stuff like THIS and throw it in your hypocritical face...

VERSUS

"Something needs to be said that is a clear message that our rule of law is intact and the standards for perjury and obstruction of justice are not gray...And I don’t want there to be any lessening of the standard. Because our system of criminal justice depends on people telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. That is the lynch pin of our criminal justice system and I don’t want it to be faded in any way."
