Priceless

Howie Kurtz posts this from Michael Tomasky at The American Prospect.

"An allegation arises in Bob Woodward's book that the administration perhaps illegally moved $700 million toward Iraq War planning without telling Congress. Republican congressional leaders are asked about it; they cannot refute it, instead dancing around the question and trying to change the subject. And even this issue -- quite similar to the Reagan administration's bypassing of the Boland Amendment, which resulted in a serious probe and a presidential crisis -- fades to black."

Howie's response to Mr. Tomasky:

Guess the scandal threshold is higher than it used to be.

Yes Howie, you're right. Bill Cinton's affair, and the subsequent denial, is much more harmful to the greater good of this country than the illegal siphoning of 700 million dollars from the funds allotted toward the war against Bin-Laden.

Putz...
