In a preview of how Republicans would counter charges against top administration officials by Fitzgerald, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas brushed aside an indictment for perjury -- rather than for the underlying crime of outing a covert operative -- as a "technicality."

Now I want to see if I have this right. Bill Clinton was impeached for perjury, for saying he didn't have sex with Monica Lewinsky, and that was worth three years, hundreds of millions and 200 FBI agents working on it, but Rove and Libby lying to a grand jury to cover up a breach of National Security isn't?

If that's their argument, they should be run out of town on a rail.

Bill Clinton was most certainly not impeached. And your last statement pretty much sums up the quagmire of deception that is the Bush Administration. Or, maybe Bush is just that stupid. The jury is still out.

Impeached means that he was officially charged, not that he was found guilty or removed from office. People have a misconception about the word.
