Yes I was correct it was indeed a Republican who said it. A Republican whom the party needs to dump he's a disgrace. My source is from an interview of Schippers. This can not be justified nor can his not guilty vote following that comment.

Sen. Ted Stevens

NM: Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens – you revealed in your book that he was the guy who told you, "I don't care if you've got Clinton on videotape raping a woman then shooting her dead, you're not gonna get 67 votes." Anything to add there?

SCHIPPERS: Yeah. It was obvious that Ted Stevens' role – he was the one picked out by the leadership to cow the (House impeachment) managers. After the initial attack on Lott by the managers – remember when Lott came over and told us, "Listen, you're not gonna dump this garbage on us" – the managers all attacked him. Not physically, of course, but they just jumped all over him. I think from then on Lott kind of avoided confrontations. But he sent Ted Stevens in, who was a kind of irascible guy. And his job was to just hammer us down. But to be very honest with you, it didn't work.

It wasn't Stevens that said anything about raping the nun. It was Babs Boxer.

Good find, sniper. I knew there was something screwy about that. I don't look at the number of democrats who blustered that they wouldn't convict, I look at the number of republicans who actually voted to let Clnton slide.

DJoyce calls the "two" parties the Screw party. That sums it up for me.
