Sauce For The Goose, But Not The Gander

The folks over at Err Amerika have been getting all exercised about the possibility that Pres. Bush might have violated some law by authorizing wiretaps of phone calls that took place partially within the US, maybe even involving American citizens.

Since the facts are still not all in yet, it's next to impossible to tell whether or not any law was violated. Compounding that, of course, is the convoluted nature of the applicable laws. What strikes us as amusing, though, is the blatant hypocrisy involved in excoriating Bush for the same thing that Carter and Clinton did.

Of course, the fact that Carter and Clinton did it in no way excuses it for Bush. It's just really entertaining, listening to these cretins turning themselves inside out.
