There's a big difference between filing a form a little late and, for instance, blaming an accounting error...a mistake...when you get caught lightening your campaign donation filing by a hundred thousand or so...al la Hillary...or when you are caught shredding documents which were supeonaed in an investigation of possible fraud related to White Water...or saying you didn't know that temple shindig was really a fundraiser, and all of your emails are "accidentally" deleted after the investigator says he wants them.

See the investigation into Whitewater was never completed, because there there was no evidence left. Hillary shredded it. There were few witnesses left alive either, come to think of it. The investigation into President Bush's stock sale was completed by the SEC, in good time because it was a routine - as opposed to politically motivated - investigation. There was no scandal with Harken, except the manufactured one.

You are attempting to use moral relativism here, and in this case it won't work.

Being caught in a lie, then not recalling what lie you told is a fact, and there is no way to relativistically downplay McCauliff buying Gephart.

Actually, I'm well aware of what's going on. I was trying to use a little levity by tossing the Democrats' words back at them. I know it's hard to tell these days when one doesn't use sarcasm tags. I guess I assume the statements are so obviously sarcasm that they speak for themselves, but these days, one can't tell anymore.
