Houston Police Chief C.O. Bradford was indicted Friday on allegations of lying under oath...

After Clinton, I thought lying under oath was no big deal. I guess it's only okay to lie about sex and not weather you used profanity.

I'm reminded of the Marvin Zindler character from Best Little Whorehouse in Texas: "Texas Has A Whore House In It!" (Oh My)

I'm SHOCKED I tell you, the man used profanity in front of POLICE OFFICERS! How can they ever do their jobs again?

I am getting so sick of governments squabbling over nothing and ignoring the public trust. And the constant public propaganda drumbeat of what I need to do for my 'health' etc. I don't want any more advice from the government. They don't know squat.

I'm reminded of a while back when W had his colonoscopy. Aaron Brown, I think it was, on CNN was interviewing Dore Gold of Israel on the ongoing slaughter there when Bush made his post-exam remarks and they immediately had to cut to them. They came back, Dore was still standing there with his typical look of wry humor on his face. Brown proceeded to inform him that that was all the time there was and that he should go and get his colon checked. It was embarrassing. Gold said "We should live long enough to get colon cancer" and that was it.

A realistic perspective.

My thoughts, exactly. This is completely ridiculous. I don't condone lying under oath, but the charges, to begin with, how is that worse than what Clinton did? This is pathetic.

Lying about sex with a subordinate (in a sexual harassment lawsuit) is perfectly okay. It is a private matter.

Lying about the use of profanity on the job (in an investigation over a botched dragnet to arrest drag racers) is a heinous offense, free speech be damned.
