From the Clinton years, remember Bob Barr?

The three-time married philanderer and ex-congressasshole who paid for his first wife to get an abortion, by check?

He was on Laura (Ilsa the She-Wolf) Ingraham's show last night, bragging about when HE impeached Bill Clinton.

The fact it was a total partisan fiasco wasn't even mentioned, of course.

Fox guest: Impeachment is a Democratic plot to destroy Donald Trump’s “credibility”

Bob Barr: “That's what it's really about”

LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): I think he was actually making the point to the Senate, but the American public deserves the right to vote, but does she have any merit to her point there, Bob?

BOB BARR: Well, she has about as much merit to her point as Zoe Lofgren did to hers, absolutely not. What we had in the Clinton impeachment and then the trial back 21 years ago was a president who had already been reelected.
It was not about an election back then, it was about high crimes and misdemeanors, proving crimes that the president had committed.

Spouting that crap of late. Funny how they all have selective amnesia now.

They are focused on the result they want - which is destroying Democrats. That's why back in the day impeachment was necessary because it would destroy a Democrat. And that's why impeachment is evil today - it's aimed at the wrong people. Understanding Republican politics in the age of Trump is simple when you accept that all they care about is the result; the means are totally meaningless.

I actually watched their many ballot votes back then when CSPAN aired it and he eventually got that party's nomination.

someone called them up and invited them, for ratings. And because they want to spread the bile these guests are guaranteed to spew. It's no surprise.
