The press sure got all lathered up about that blue dress. Hopefully, the blood stained uniforms and soiled body bags that hold our kids coming back from Iraq will one day cause a similar uproar by the "liberal media." Clinton shot his wad and lied about it. Casualties: A wife and daughter were emotionally damaged. Press reaction: a feeding frenzy of media action. Bush wants to give his rich buddies the iraqi oil fields. He lies about the reason for going. Casualties: Thousands of iraqis dead, hundreds of americans dead and going up daily. Press reaction: Read rove press releases.
Ironically by pursuing the impeachment issue with the last president over such a frivolous issue, the right wing has lowered the bar considerably. I'm thinking "blowback" (pardon the semi-pun). It's now much easier to raise the topic without being labeled a nut. They'll have no one to blame but themselves.
