“There is a visibility factor in the president's public acts, and those which betray a trust or reveal contempt for the law are hard to sweep under the rug...They reverberate, they ricochet all over the land and provide the worst possible example for our young people.” - Rep. Henry 'Youthful Indiscretion' Hyde (R-Illinois), 1999 (Quotes from here).
Two more stories from the BBC:
In the aftermath of the Iraq war, you can almost hear the buck being passed between political leaders and their intelligence advisers (link).
George W Bush is facing fresh charges that he exaggerated the threat of Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction to win support for the war.
"He misled every one of us," Senator John Kerry said, in a strong attack on the Bush misadministration.
"I will not let him off the hook throughout this campaign with respect to America's credibility and credibility to me because if he lied he lied to me personally," Mr Kerry said, speaking in new Hampshire.
The BBC's Justin Webb in Washington says Mr Bush seems to be frustrated, even annoyed by the British debate on weapons of mass destruction and perhaps concerned that a similar row could engulf him as well (link).
Awwwwwwww. Too f*cking bad.
