Alec Baldwin: Kay Bailey Hutchison "Full of Shit"
That's what he says on the Huffington Post, pointing out that the
Texas senator now considers perjury a technicality—despite the fact that she twice voted to impeach Bill Clinton.
I'm tempted to make an Alec Baldwin joke, but you know what? He's right. Kay Bailey Hutchison is full of shit.
In fact, it strikes me that the Fitzgerald investigation seems to me a model of how a special prosecutor can actually work well. Unlike Ken Starr's office, Fitzgerald's seems to be essentially leak-proof. And whereas Starr spent millions and millions and paralyzed the government to find nothing more than a little tomfoolery, Fitzgerald is spending his money to investigate an abuse of executive branch power that helped put the country on a path to war.
Which would suggest that Republicans got it exactly wrong then...and are getting it exactly wrong now. All in pursuit of, and now defense of, power.
Which is why the GOP is in the midst of a bitter ideological civil war between those who'll do anything to hold on to power and those who believe that the party should stand for more than that.....
