GOP Senators Who Voted For Clinton Impeachment Dead Silent On Libby - Huffington Post
Some people might say that comparing the Clinton impeachement to the Libby pardon is like comparing "apples to oranges". I disagree. The 25 Senators who voted for Clinton's impeachement felt that lying in a court of law by a President was enough to remove him from office. That's not a small thing to suggest.
Now, when Libby has been convicted and Bush has taken away his jail time, none of those Senators are saying anything. They look like a bunch of hypocrites.
Of the 25 Republican Senators still in the Senate and who voted that day to convict Clinton on both articles of impeachment, not one of them has issued a public statement on the Libby sentence commutation in the three days since it occurred.
Not one.
There's not even a statement of support for Bush's lawless decision -- except from Fred Thompson who, while no longer in the Senate, has his sights set on convincing people that he's fit to be the next seedy Republican to occupy the White House.
