Hyde Admits Impeachment Payback
22 April 2005

Let’s see. It cost $60 million in taxpayer’s money. Tarnished the
Democratic Party and Al Gore during the 2000 election, and since.
Distracted the country from Al Qaeda leading to the deaths of 3000 people.

For a 20 year old payback. Because they had to stand for something???

"Andy Shaw: Was it payback?
Hyde: "I can't say it wasn't, but I also thought that the Republican
party should stand for something, and if we walked away from this, no
matter how difficult, we could be accused of shirking our duty, our
responsibility.”
