Untruthful Testimony

Remember how mad, irate, and inconsolable Conservatives were at Bill Clinton because he lied about his personal sexual relations?

Why then are they so complacent when Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is caught lying to the Senate Judiciary Committee about wiretapping American citizens?

Gonzales Is Challenged on Wiretaps


Tisk. Tisk.

It seems unseemly, but power politics has reformed these former champions of virtue.

Ethics, I say with increased conviction, ought to be taught in our schools since honesty is no longer practiced faithfully in public life.

If Truth and Justice are indeed pillars of the American way, then what happens when the pillars crumble? What are we left with? Is it worth having?
