Here’s an amusing Byron Dorgan quote from the Congressional Record about Iran-Contra (2/25/87):

Mr. Speaker, I have not said much about the Iranian scandal because I think it is embarrassing enough for everyone concerned. But last night’s statement by the President, “Do you remember what you were doing on August 8,” the President asked, that really strains our imagination. I will tell you one thing, if I were approving arms to the Ayatollah Khomeini, I would remember what I was doing on that date.

Draw your own analogies to the Scooter Libby case…
