Again, he's an adult, there was nothing stopping him from brushing off the question if he wanted to. <br /> The implication from Bob, is that the mean old press will force those poor Republicans to play the Monica card against the better angels of their nature. <br /> Would any sane person expect the Republicans NOT to give the Monica card a play or two, or think we won't see it again? What else are they going to do, dis Hill for the massive bust of the Afghanistan campaign they fully supported? It's a nonstarter, Like the Daily Howler, American doesn't care about dead drone victims. <br /> They will try the Monica card. It won't work. It will make them look bad. But nobody else will blame this on David Gregory.
