Clintons hit over Libby criticism

Without doubt one of the most brazen illustrations of the pot calling the kettle black in my lifetime. This sort of return fire from the WH is something that's been sorely lacking for the last 6 years....

The White House yesterday ridiculed Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton for complaining about President Bush's decision to keep former vice-presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby Jr. out of jail, saying their criticism smacks of hypocrisy.

"I don't know what Arkansan is for chutzpah, but this is a gigantic case of it," press secretary Tony Snow said.

The White House also suggested that a slew of pardons granted by Mr. Clinton on his final day in office were never properly investigated and said they ought to be.
