Thinking about that more, is there a video of that bit? I can easily imagine that the crawl said "Scooter Libby found guilty of perjury and obstruction...Scooter Libby found not guilty of lying to FBI investigators"

And then just showing a screenshot of the latter part looks damning and silly.

In case you were wondering why Newt Gingrich can cheat on his wife and still consider himself a viable candidate for president after telling Clinton he's not fit to be president for cheating on Hillary, the answer is the bible Clinton put his right hand on.

I drew a line in my mind that said even though I run the risk of being deeply embarrassed, and even though at a purely personal level I am not rendering judgment on another human being, as a leader of the government trying to uphold the rule of law, I have no choice except to move forward and say that you cannot accept felonies and you cannot accept perjury in your highest officials," Gingrich said.
Not rendering judgement on another human being?!?

Where was the line in your mind that wondered why a fellow adulterer should have to testify under oath for doing what you did, ya fvckhead?

Gingrich's marital history is simply consistent with conservative support for term limits and a fresh approach.

Remember Sac, things like adultery, perjury, and fraud aren't wrong when Republicans do them - because they are the party of morality! That makes it ok.

To hell with your subpoenas, Congress, the White House interns serve at the pleasure of the President.



That's what a real man would have said.

I suppose we shouldn't expect anything less from an administration so connected to Enron, but here's a story that's kinda flown under the radar. In violation of federal law, as well as being blatantly stupid in the wake of countless corporate scandals that have focused around email retention and the lack-thereof, the Whitehouse seems to have lost several million emails. These were sent on laptops and email accounts provided to staff by the RNC. They say that they may be able to recover many of the emails since 2004...but (and I'm looking for confirmation on this detail) I heard that the recovered data is unlikely to include Karl Rove's emails.

If they're supposed to keep them then I suppose it is stupid they didn't. But I think it is stupid they're supposed to keep them.

Having just lost six months of email I have no doubt that it is easy to do unless you're immediately copying everything from the central server to an optical storage medium.
