What is missing here, Dougie, is the time line... Starr was hired well before anything was out there to suspect... Yeah, there were Repub rumblings about some land deals that the Clintons lost money on but nuthin' that would warrent a "special prosecuter"... But the Repubs pushed for one anyway and so we had a 6 or 7 year fishing expedition by Starr...

Valerie Plame was an entirely different situation... Her outing was all over the media long before the dems pushed for a "special prosecuter"... Long before...

Point is, the Repubs are willing to spend gobs of tax payers money on anything in the world (without restraint) and the dems have purdy much taken an opposite track in only going after folks after the media has blown the story up...

I mean, let's get real here, Doug... If the dems wanted to play those silly Repub games they could have the entire "C Street House" investigated and prolly get a good number of Repubs in an extreme defensive posture... Oh, sure, there were a couple dems in the "C Street" deal but this was mostly Repubs...

Ya' see, Doug... That's one major diff between the parties... The Dems try to fix stuff and govern and the Repubs just want to play Dick Tracy... What does the country need more of???
