Bringing Shame upon the White House
Wingnuts always invoke that argument when talking about the evil “Clenis” (That’s Bill Clinton’s Penis, Circa 1997/98 for those who don’t know political slang) They cry about not caring about the act of the Blow Job, but the act of lying under oath.
Fast Forward to 2007 and we are faced with this “Scooter” Libby idiot who was CONVICTED of obstruction of justice and other crimes. He gets handed a sentence befitting of the crime and what does Chimpy McFlysuit do? he Fucking COMMUTES THE FUCKING SENTENCE!
The guy was found guilty of lying, then COVERING IT UP. However, to a wingnut, that is okay. If you are rich and connected, it’s perfectly okay for you to do whatever you want! They can do anything because, as digby so eloquently says, they are so, so special.
From now on, if any fucking wingnut invokes the “Clenis” I will scream. Scream, folks. SCREAM.

I scream, too. Constantly. There are three people who should care where that damn penis went: the one who owns it, the one who married it, and the one who blew it.
Never heard it called the Clenis! I LOVE THAT!

I expect that Libby would have talked if he got any jail time.

Libby was probably threatening to sing like a canary, which would have put the “Office of the Vice President not really a part of the actual executive branch so we don’t have to tell you about anything that we do” in serious jeopardy.
As for the Clenis, I have ALWAYS maintained that no one, especially not Linda Tripp and her huge honker, should have cared about what went on.
Interesting Tidbit, My sister went to HS with Linda Tripp’s daughter and I had the *blech* pleasure of meeting her a few times after the “scandal” broke. It was interesting as an ardent Clinton supporter to really keep my BIG MOUTH SHUT.
