The KNEE JERK defense of Clinton by liberals is pure and simple human nature... they were wrong, they know they were wrong, he scammed them, he played them like cheap fiddles. No one wants to admit, particularly on a matter so near to them as who they believe in politically, that they were wrong and duped, its just human nature. More often than not when a major mistake is made by a person, they are far more apt to defend that mistake, than simply admit they were wrong, because generally they just can't face the fact that all those around them telling them so were right... could they have possibly blown it so bad?... its hard to admit it, and most people will go out of their way than face reality of being so abjectively wrong.

In total agreement bump.

Absolutely on target.

Here's one of my favorite "great quotes" which makes the same point:

"I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives."
- Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy (1828-1910)
