AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Gov. George W. Bush said Tuesday that he would have voted to impeach President Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
“I would have voted for it. I thought the man lied,” he said in response to a question posed during a news conference.

Chris,please answer this question. What politician has not lied ?
I don’t subscribe to the concept of ‘everyone does bad things’, because it sets an extremely low standard. Clinton was impeached over a relationship he had with a White House staffer. How many people died because of what he did?
Bush felt Clinton should have gotten the boot for his statements concerning an affair. Let’s apply that standard to the situation today…
I thought this quote spoke directly to the type of accountability Bush was going to bring to DC. Now that he’s in the top seat, that standard has changed. This is true, and whether or not politicians are inherently dishonest has nothing to do with whether or not Bush’s personal bar has moved based on his personal needs at any given time.
I have a feeling we are going to be hearing a lot clinton did it. Clinton did not out a CIA agent to settle a petty score. The current administration is like a bunch of catty soriority girls.
The problem with Bush and Co is all they care about is politics, that is probably why they are so good at it, but when it comes to the act of governing they are to busy playing politics to get anything done.
I agree…they’re all about words.
Right now the repubs are coming up against the wall with the Miers nomination, forever they have been promising conservative justices, fortunately for all of us that is not what they realy want.
