Kay Bailey Hutchison's Pants Are On Fire

So Kay Bailey Hutchison, a Texas Senator, is suppressing her gag reflex right along with John Tierney, in a New York Times article out today. She was quoted as saying:

"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." (emphasis added)

But over at the Huffington Post, Alec Baldwin (so THAT'S what he's been doing!) mentions this gem from our old gal Kay way back on February 17th, 1999:

"I do not hold the view of our Constitution that there must be an actual, indictable crime in order for an act of a public officer to be impeachable. It is clear to this Senator that there are, indeed, circumstances, short of a felony criminal offense, that would justify the removal of a public officer from office, including the President of the United States. Manifest injury to the Office of the President, to our Nation and to the American people and gross abuse of trust and of public office clearly can reach the level of intensity that would justify the impeachment and removal of a leader." (emphasis added)

I would agree that this kind of mind-numbing flip-floppery is the usual modus operandi for Repugs (Rush Limbaugh, drug addict, anyone?) and almost ceases to amaze anymore. What does kill me, though, is the fact that these ancient fucks have STILL not realised the power of Google searches, or the fact that us "pot smoking, terrorist-loving liberals" have a pretty decent memory after all. You may have forgotten about that time your neighbor caught you pissing in his yard, but rest assured he hasn't...
