Here is another nimrod candidate that was snatched by the invasion of the body snatchers...
His answer at MSNBC's debate about Scooter Libby was pretty pathetic for a "rule of law Conservative"—except when it concerns Bill Clinton.
Moderator: OK, let me go to a question that's more ephemeral and it is passing and it will decided in the next several months. We'll go down the line again. This isn't as much fun as cutting taxes. Do you think Scooter Libby should be pardoned?
(Unknown)[It was Brownback]: Let the legal process move forward, and I'd leave that up to President Bush. And I think he could go either way on that.
Moderator: The judge is going to rule on that case next month and decide whether he will be in prison during his appeal. Would you let it go, let him be imprisoned?
[Brownback]: At this point in time, I would leave that up to the president, if at the end of the term, he decides to let him out.
Moderator: You don't encourage him to repeal, to…
[Brownback]: I would see willingness to go either way on that, because the underlying facts of this case are ones where there was not a law that was violated. So what they're saying is: OK, you didn't remember right, and that's what you're being prosecuted, and that was what you were guilty for. And, my goodness…
Sam's comments on CNN in 1999 about Clinton:
Sen. Brownback's closed-door impeachment statement
Released into Congressional Record, February 12, 1999
Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kansas): I find that William Jefferson Clinton did commit perjury and obstruct justice; that these offenses rise to the level of 'high Crimes and Misdemeanors;' that William Jefferson Clinton should be convicted under the Articles of Impeachment; and that he must be removed as President of the United States.
So let me get this right from Brokeback... Libby didn't commit perjury and obstruct justice and it is up to the Chimpster to pardon the little soldier and Clinton didn't commit perjury and obstruct justice yet Clinton was guilty of performing consenual oral sex with an adult intern and therefore, that was an impeachable offense. Gee, I feel better learning Law 101 from Sam Brokeback!!!!
