Again on the Perjury thing

I just had another thought on the whole Republican about face on the seriousness of perjury and obstruction of justice. Now that Rove and Cheney are facing such charges, these crimes have suddenly become "trivial" and "unimportant".

But doesn't that mean that when Ossama bin Laden was growing in strength, building his network and developing his plans to attack the United States in an attack that killed 3,000 American citizens, the Republican party in control of congress was singularly focused on impeaching the sitting President for trivial and unimportant charges?

Just wondering.
