“In one case, you have thousands of deaths, and in another, you have a dry-cleaning bill for a dress.”

That’s actor Tim Robbins cleverly comparing the Bush Administration’s false claim about Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction with Bill Clinton’s Monica Lewinsky affair and her seman-stained dress.
Robbins served up the comment Wednesday night while hosting the United Nations International Year of Microcredits awards dinner (how could you miss a dinner like that?) as reported in The Daily News.
Robbins was talking about “Scooter” Libby’s indictment and predicting that it may just be the beginning of matters turning from bad to worse at the Bush White House.
“I don’t think it stops there.” Robbins said of the indictment. “I’ve been asking for 2 1/2 years why, if you can impeach a President for lying about an extramarital affair, why can’t you impeach a President for lying about weapons of mass destruction that led to a war that led to thousands of deaths.”
Ain’t it odd that public opinion polls for President Bill Clinton made historical highs as Congress impeached him for lying about extramarital mischief in the Oval Office? (Or was it because the Republican-held Congress just imepeached because it could?)….Meanwhile, public opinion polls for President George W. Bush have been sinking to crushing all-time lows.
Meanwhile, Tina Fey’s Saturday Night Live joke is ricocheting around the pipelines of cyberspace:

“A new poll shows that 66 percent of Americans think President Bush is doing a poor job of handling the war in Iraq. The remaining 34 percent think Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs to church.”
