For starters, there's the multi-million dollar contracts as a consultant to businesses and "think tanks" he'll get as soon as he's out of office.

Does Gonzales remember what he said about potheads?

I really hope you're joking with that. I'm not condoning anything, but the assertion made by the government that marijuana supports terrorism is just one more example of this administration's (and other's in the past) lunacy.

And, no, I'm not a pothead.

And if that happens her minions will just have to say "but Bush did this too" and any behavior will be acceptable.

I just know all the current Bushies using that logic on this board will line up and publicly give her a pass.

Well, it's a problem no matter which choice these people take. They did nothing wrong, but are causing so many problems just by being there. Should they decide to resign, it automatically infers guilt in some people's minds.

However, they should know that these scandals had nothing to do with them, but with Bush. The next person in will get hounded for any perceived wrong they might have committed.

We had a topic on this very subject and I think I pretty well proved that Bush jr and Sr pardoned guys for the very same things that Clinton did.
Not to excuse either, but it really is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Samething as all the right wingers bashing Clinton saying he cut and ran after the whole Mogadishu issue (aka Blackhawk Down). Well big news Regan cut and ran after the Marine barricks bombings in Beirut.
