AT WAR….E.J. Dionne has a question:

Am I the only person exasperated by a double standard that treated everything Bill Clinton ever did in his life (“I didn’t inhale”) as fair game but now insists that we shouldn’t sully ourselves with any inconvenient questions about Bush’s past?

Dammit, E.J., we’re at war now. Don’t you understand that?
