Shoe On The Other Foot

Letter to the New York Times:

Dear Editor:

You report (October 24th) that Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), in reference to the White House leak investigation, has stated, "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."

That's fine. But it seems that Ms. Hutchison has a conveniently short memory. The Republicans spent six years and millions of dollars, and came up with only a "perjury technicality" against the President of the United States (Clinton) as grounds for an impeachment proceeding. And he didn't endager anyone's life as did Rove and Libby. Talk about a waste of time and taxpayer dollars.
