Good.Could have happened a little sooner, like say in 1975, but you take what you get.I love the revisionism, though:
Abortion was an issue that the Irish-Catholic Hyde pursued as a matter of conscience. Clinton's impeachment, by contrast, was a matter thrust upon him.
As chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, in 1998 he led House efforts to impeach Clinton for allegedly lying about his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, and then in 1999 was the chief House manager in the unsuccessful bid to win a Senate conviction.
A reluctant warrior, Hyde saw his own reputation tarnished during the process when an online magazine revealed that he'd had his own affair with a married woman some 30 years before. Hyde, in his early 40s at the time of the affair, brushed it off as a "youthful indiscretion."
Dude, I watched the goddamn impeachment, and Hyde was doing everything but pulling his flaccid cock out of his trousers and wanking off during those proceedings. "Reluctant" my hairy white ass.
Also, WTF is it that being a fetus fetishist is a "matter of conscience", but being pro-choice isn't? More bullshit, more letting the goddamn theofascists frame the debate. I'm pro-choice
because I have a conscience, assholes.
