The dumbo masquerading as the senior U. S. Senator from Texas, Kay Bailey Hutchinson opined on "Meet The Press" last Sunday that "perjury was a technicality." If the Kennedys had a grandfather nicknamed "Honey Fitz," Scooter and his co-conspirators (the WHIG) are having a "Sour Fitz." If this is the (fair & balanced) truth, so be it.

When another reporter asked him to respond to Republican characterizations of the perjury charges as "technicalities," the mild-mannered (Patrick) Fitzgerald came as close as he ever did to a firebrand Tom Cruise speech from A Few Good Men. "That talking point won't fly," he replied, the eagle embroidered on a blue curtain behind him seeming to swell in size and flutter in the wind as he continued, "The truth is the engine of our judicial system. If you compromise the truth, the whole process is lost … if we were to walk away from this, we might as well hand in our jobs." But Fitzgerald's last words before opening the (press) conference up to questions retreated once more to the impersonal language of civil service: "Let's take a deep breath," he concluded, "and let justice process the system."
