I tried to watch the video but that host is as boring as a dead possum. I get that his job is being as sensationalistic as possible but, holy cats, get to the damn point.
I did watch the interview part, though. Politicians only care about how an action will A) impact them personally, and B) impact their party. Right or wrong, deserving or undeserving play very little part in most decision-making. Impeachment proceedings are a gamble that can backfire and experienced politicians know that.
Did her excuse sound silly? Sure. Personally, I think one of the most important skills for a politician is the ability to say silly things without cracking a smile. Really, though, so what--anyone with a brain knows she was playing the political game with regards to Bush because she didn't believe impeachment proceedings would have a favorable outcome for the Democrats.
