Hyde & Seek(ing Absolution)?

Henry Hyde (R-Hypocrisy Heights) is finally retiring.

Oh, Henry! is obviously feeling some guilt; otherwise, he wouldn't be voicing his second thoughts to a Chicago TV news interviewer, Andy Shaw...

In an ABC7 exclusive, the eloquent 81-year-old conservative from DuPage County said he has second thoughts about leading the impeachment of President Bill Clinton in 1998 on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice in connection to the Monica Lewinsky affair because the process led to the embarrassing disclosure of Hyde's own extramarital affair in the 1960s. Hyde referred to his affair as a "youthful indiscretion."

Henry Hyde, whose youthful indiscretion
included an extra-marital family, which Hyde
kept secret until Larry Flynnt found them.

"Would you do it again?" asked ABC7's political reporter Andy Shaw.

"That is a very good question. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I might not," said Hyde.

The veteran republican is also admitting for the first time that the impeachment of Clinton may have been in part political revenge against the democrats for the impeachment proceedings against GOP President Richard Nixon 25 years earlier.

"Was this pay back?" asked Andy Shaw.

"I can't say it wasn't." LINK

Ahem.

After Bill Clinton was elected in 1992, Nixon took some glee from the scandals that began engulfing the new administration. Nixon was particularly glad to see that Hillary, who had been a staffer for the Watergate committee that sought Nixon's impeachment, was a key figure in the new scandals. LINK

Let's do the math...

Nixon broke the law. Period.

The Clinton impeachment fiasco was payback for exposing Nixon's criminal conduct.

$70 million worth of lies and payoffs to avenge a criminal administration.

And Hillary was the actual target.

Oh, by the way...

Hell called, Henry.
Your room is ready, you pathetic bastard.
