Thou Doth Protest Too Much

It has come out that Newt Gingrich, while leading the Clinton impeachment proceedings, was himself having an affair. It's sad how desensitized I feel towards yet another story of conservative hyprocrisy. So much time and money was wasted impeaching a president who lied about having an affair, and yet there is no serious call to impeach Bush. I'm not advocating that there be one. However, I do imagine how great the call from Republicans for Clinton's head would have been had there been a failing war in Iraq, CIA leak, Katrina, Walter Reed scandal, Abramoff scandal, misuse of the Patriot Act, and so forth. Now, any liberal calling for impeachment is beaten down as crazy, far left, and anti-American. It's always crazy when the shoe is on the other foot.
