Honor and integrity

Having an affair is wrong. Having an affair when you're the president, yep, even more wrong. Lying about it in front of a grand jury? That's perjory my friend. Any of our god damned business? Hells no! Did he leak anything more to Monica than what ended up on that blue dress? Were trade secrets lost? We're people bought and sold like commodiites? Was policy effected in any way? (Well yes to that one, but only after and because he was weakened by the scandal and reacted to the attacks.)
And now we have these things. We have petty revenge that has damaged our national security. We have lies and deceit that affect policy AND all of us. And today we find out that Mr. Jack Abromoff was setting up a deal in 2003 to take $9 million from the president of Gambon to have a meeting with Bush. No transactions have been found but documents listing a $9 million transaction have. No indirect channels have been connected. But there WAS a meeting less than a year later with Bush which the administration called nothing more than routine. Hmmm...
And to rip off from another person, I quote Jon Stewart here as he watched Dick Cheney at the 2000 Republican convention saying that one the first minute of the first hour he will restore honor and integrity to The White House. To which Mr. Steward replied, "Yes, for that one minute they restored honor" and it was all downhill from there.
