An acquaintance of mine recently sent me a question to this effect:  What kind of country is this when Barry Bonds gets indicted for perjury but we can’t get impeachment proceedings started for George Bush, whose crimes are infinitely worse.

I realize that technically there’s some logical fallacy in that thinking–though I can’t recall the name of the fallacy–but no matter.  It’s still a good question.

Feel free to speculate on the answer.  Or just rant.
