Hutchison sticks foot in mouth. And head in butt.

Texas Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison was on Meet the Press on Sunday. And she reminded us all just how hypocritical one person can be if she sets her mind to it.

Hutchison was declaiming on the Rove/Libby fiasco in a tone so stilted it was charming. And according to this particular Texas belle, perjury is a minor crime that the country should excuse. She said, "I certainly hope that if there is going to be an indictment that says something happened, that it is an indictment on a crime and not some perjury technicality where they couldn't indict on the crime and so they go to something just to show that their two years of investigation was not a waste of time and taxpayer dollars."

Pity Hutchison didn't feel that way a few years back, when she voted to remove Bill Clinton from office for perjury. Her voting record on that subject is at http://www.ameriroots.com/impeachment/senator_hutchison.html.

Tell Hutchison that she ought to quit flip-flopping on the issues through her website. You can find her contact page at http://hutchison.senate.gov/e-mail.htm
