Himmler would be proud

Former President Bill Clinton is still pretending that he was impeached for having an affair with intern Monica Lewinski, rather than for lying under oath.

Repeating that secondary lie over and over again was the chief strategy of his defenders- and it worked.

I'm reminded of the apparent strategy of partisan 9/11 Commission member Richard Ben-Veniste and much of the liberal media with regard to the mischaracterization of the Commission's preliminary findings as saying that there were no lies between Saddam Hussein and al Quaeda, as opposed to what the Commission actually said- that it found no compelling evidence that Saddam was in on the planning of 9/11 and other such al Quaeda attacks. It's essentially the strategy Heinrich Himmler endorsed when he pointed out that if you simply repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it.
