As we approach the 2006 House elections, it is a good time to remember those members of the House who voted to impeach Bill Clinton for lying about a BJ. As the common phrase goes, no one died when Clinton lied. We should ask these legislators whether Bush's lies are less serious than Clinton's. For those members who are still in office and who running for re-election, we should ask them why they allowed the country's attention and the attention of 70 FBI agents to be diverted from more pressing matters, such as the threats from Al Qaida.
