Oh boy, let's play "Update That Quote", the fun game where we
substitute the crimes of George W. Bush into accusations against
others:

Bush lied and people died. Bush gave comfort to the enemy by telling
those lies simply to pad his own nest. Bush gave comfort to the enemy
by meeting with the financiers of the 9/11 attack in Saudi Arabia
"while Commander in Chief". That was a traitorous act.

Say, this game is fun!

Simple, Joe. Impeach the *******. But if you do, impeach Kerry at
the same time. Real easy.

It's a testament to my limited understanding of politics that I don't
know why that has not happened. And it's gotta be politics, because
the facts are clear enough. Frankly, I wouldn't have been surprised
if a Repub brough it up. Bush's taking approval ratings killed the
GOP in 06, yet they seem happy to ride him off a cliff again in '08.
Hey, I'm just a simple engineer; what do I know. I gave up politics
more than 10 years ago.

Pelosi is a home town girl (she's a D'Alessandro, the daughter of the
late Baltimore mayor, Tommy D'Alesandro, Jr.); but that's not enough
for me to forgive her inaction. Her statement and position that
"impeachment is off the table" has infuriated the D base that put her
in the Speaker's chair. I truly have no idea WTF; but the more I look
into it, the more frustrated I get with the whole pantload of 'em.

Kerry, well, whatever he did didn't happen while he was in office, so
that part's a non-starter.

Occam's Razor: simple mathematics: The current majority party enjoys merely
218 of the 435 total seats in the House, and only 49 of the 101* seats in the
Senate...

Huh? The D's have had a working majority since the 2006 elections.
(233/202). With recent resignations & deaths, the current breakdown D/
R is 231/198. Were you subtracting the DINOs?

Nah, just had a cramp between brain and fingers - I was going to say the Ds
had only a few more than the 218 seats that delineates a majority. And that
would be including the DINOs.

Bottom line, as we've seen for the last year, the Rs still have the numbers to
make sure *nothing* gets done in either arm of Congress, and they've been
doing that job quite well. It is clear that an impeachment attempt of Bush and
Cheney - no matter how richly deserved - could never get off square one...
