the awesome/terrifying freedom

hmm. which is the bigger lie?

1) 'the british government has learned that saddam hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from africa.'

or

2) 'i did not have sexual relations with that woman.'


the gop felt that #2 was worthy of impeachment.

here's what condi rice had to say to wolf blitzer about #1:

BLITZER: All right, the key question: How did that get into the president's State of the Union address, arguably the most important speech he gives every year? How did it get in, if that wasn't necessarily meeting the standards that you think that should have been met?

RICE: Wolf, let me just start by saying, it is 16 words, and it has become an enormously overblown issue.

can you imagine if clinton had said 'well gee, it was only 9 words, c'mon, people!'
