Scandalous! Cowardly Senate Democrats Will Censure Bill Clinton for a Blowjob, But Will Not Censure George W. Bush for Illegal Big Brother Acts

Liberal Oasis points out that the following Democratic U.S. Senators cosponsored S. Res. 44, a bill to censure Bill Clinton in the 106th Congress, but have not cosponsored S. Res. 398, a bill to censure George W. Bush before the current Congress:

Daniel Akaka
Max Baucus
Byron Dorgan
Dick Durbin
Dianne Feinstein
Daniel Inouye
Jim Jeffords
Ted Kennedy
John Kerry*
Herb Kohl
Mary Landrieu
Carl Levin
Joe Lieberman
Blanche Lincoln
Barbara Mikulski
Patty Murray
Jack Reed
Harry Reid
Jay Rockefeller
Chuck Schumer
Ron Wyden

The text of the resolution to censure Bill Clinton, supported by all of the above Senators, reads in part:

Whereas William Jefferson Clinton, president of the United States, deliberately misled and deceived the American people, and people in all branches of the United States government;

Whereas William Jefferson Clinton, president of the United States, gave false or misleading testimony and his actions have had the effect of impeding discovery of evidence in judicial proceedings;

Whereas William Jefferson Clinton’s conduct in this matter is unacceptable for a president of the United States, does demean the office of the president as well as the president himself, and creates disrespect for laws of the land;

Whereas President Clinton fully deserves censure for engaging in such behavior;

Whereas future generations of Americans must know that such behavior is not only unacceptable but also bears grave consequences, including loss of integrity, trust and respect;

Whereas William Jefferson Clinton remains subject to criminal actions in a court of law like any other citizen;

Whereas William Jefferson Clinton’s conduct in this matter has brought shame and dishonor to himself and to the office of the president; and

Whereas William Jefferson Clinton through his conduct in this matter has violated the trust of the American people;

Now therefore be it resolved that:

The United States Senate does hereby censure William Jefferson Clinton, president of the United States, and does condemn his wrongful conduct in the strongest terms; and

Now be it further resolved that:

The United States Senate recognizes the historic gravity of this bipartisan resolution, and trusts and urges that future congresses will recognize the importance of allowing this bipartisan statement of censure and condemnation to remain intact for all time…

Cut out the words “William Jefferson Clinton,” replace them with the words “George W. Bush,” and you would have a reasonable description of Bush’s illegal behavior in wiretapping. Bill Clinton lied about getting a blowjob. George W. Bush lied about spying on the American people without a warrant.

What are these Senators who censure blowjobs but won’t censure the disregard of the very U.S. Constitution they are sworn to uphold and protect?

Cowards!

Call these Senators today, and urge them to cosponsor the Bush censure resolution S. Res. 398.
