TIME for Impeachment?

No shit? What a revelation.

I never justified Bush's crap. Never said a damn word about Bush. Yet the chorus comes out to scream "Bush started a WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!" because I said I don't like the idea of the president getting his helmet shined in the place where important decisions are made.

Get a grip.

 

I guess the question is what does it matter in the big picture? But I don't want to reargue the magnitude of Bill Clinton's misbehavior.

 

Leave Gammons out of this.

 

Impeachment is a bad idea for the Democrats. Look what happened to the GOP in 1998 — the Dems gained 5 seats in the House, and that NEVER happens in the sixth year of a two-termer.

It's better to just keep hanging these scandals around Dim Son's neck like albatrosses and leave them on display for all to see in 2008. The GOP can distance themselves from him only so much, because that pesky "R" after their names has a way to tying them to him.

 

Or a lip lock, as the case may be.

 

The U. S. attorney matter was a clumsy attempt to prevent the California operative from breaking California malfeasance wide-open. To assert otherwise is either stupid or naive. Fredo had ZERO right to throw a monkey wrench into that process, which was going just swimmingly.

 

Sirs, Madames,

Why was a blow job in the WH up before the grand jury anyway? Didn't that issue from a misbegotten, politically motivated civil suit, the handiwork of GOP Dirty Tricks Dept? Proceeding with a case against a sitting president: The dumbest shit that ever went down, dumber, even, than the Starr stuff (though it's close). I can imagine the Republican whine if the present-day Dummy in Chief were sued by Cindy Sheehan or someone of that stripe. (Cheney getting sued by the guy he shot would be good.)

YHS, etc

 

There's a much different political system in Britain. There, just like in Canada, a party can basically overthrow its leader without its members cutting their own throats. (Of course, a failed attempt at an overthrow certainly would result in political suicide.)

If a British or Canadian PM no longer has the support of Parliament, his government falls and an election must take place. This is unlike the good old democratic U.S.A., where a President can in many cases freely act in contravention of the wishes of Congress.

 

If we still had a country left to govern.

 

Who gives a shit what Joe Klein thinks.

 

Dick Cheney is the greatest Presidential insurance policy since Spiro Agnew

 

None of those voluminous Boom_70 regular readers, I presume.
