Josh Marshall takes us back to the days of the Clinton Impeachment and reminds us that many of the Republicans expressing moral outrage at Bill's behavior were secretly doing the same thing…or worse.
This is one of the things about politics that makes me most cynical; that for so many politicians, moral outrage is not something you feel. It's something you express because you think it will help you politically. This applies to practitioners on both sides of the aisle…and it seems at times like the more sanctimonious a public figure is, the more likely it is that he or she is practicing the opposite of what is preached.
