Them Dem"s can fight.
When one of their own is in trouble, watch out. The gloves come off. When Ken Starr was the special prosecutor in the Clinton investigation, He became the villain. The Democrats with the help of
a willing press investigated him. They started a media campaign to destroy him and nearly did. Remember the mantra, Four Years And Forty Million Dollars, He was accused of being obsessed with sex, he was a partisan etc. Even Hollywood jumped on board. Who Can Forget Alec Baldwin's "We would stone Henry Hide to death and we would go to their homes and kill their wives and their children"
As some people are aware Ken Starr's investigation produced a lot of results including the conviction of Jim Guy Tucker and Susan And Jim McDougal.
Starr was accused of misconduct., accused of having Gay's on his staff, accused of leaking grand jury information. The focus was Ken Starr.
Compare that with the treatment of Patrick Fitzgerald. No contest. Who is he? If he were conducting an investigation into Hillary instead of Libby we would know what DVD's' he rented over the past 10 years.
What about Sandy Berger? He pled guilty to unauthorized removal and retention of classified material. Removing them from a National Archives reading room prior to testifying before the 9/11 Commission. The documents were top secrete. His punishment? He was fined $10,000 dollars.
It was so unjust that the judge raised it to $50,000 dollars. If Sandy were a Republican he would be in jail, period. We would still be reading about it and the culture of corruption by the Republicans.
Scooter Libby faces far greater penalties for simply not remembering a conversation.
It just bothers me so much that the Democrats get away with things that Republicans can not.
Why can't Republicans learn to fight, and throw stones.
