Yeah Susan McDougal wasn't technially part of his administration, just a business partner involved in covering up the Clintons involvement in the Whitewater scandal. I guess that's different somehow. |
How is that relavent? It isn't a direct equal to Ishmael's accusation. Pardoning someone is different than bringing someone to help in a scandal. The two actions are different, and any political entity would do what you accuse Clinton. If you want to get into why anyone hires who then I could say many of the people that Bush has in his Admin is far worse than anyone that ever surrounded Clinton. Karl Rove alone is enough to show the dishonest spirit of this particular presidential crew. But that isn't the issue at hand. Clinton didn't pardon someone in an attempt at self preservation or giving a free ride to a member of his inner group.
Stop referring back to Clinton. Its always a stretch. "Bush did this but Clinton sorta did something less than honest too thats not really of the same caliber." Can you muster a better argument than "Remember Clinton" or "Its in the constitution so sod off"?
