1. Meanwhile in DC, impeachment of Chimpy is off the table.

[Solly Mack]

2. Impeachment is never off the table for the GOP when it involves a Dem.

[malaise]

10. Bingo n/t

[Demeter]

3. And What Are the Charges?

We can always use them on W.

[Solly Mack]

4. Haven't said...just a headline at the moment

[MidwestTransplant]

12. Oh, using the DOJ for political purposes, starting a war based on knowlingly false premise, crony

capitalism, spying on Americans in violation of the 4th Amendment. Nothing worthy of impeachment.

Oh wait, you meant Spitzer? Oh he diddled a prostitute. HANG HIM HIGH after he is impeached!

for the record, I think Spitzer should resign.

[iamthebandfanman]

5. if they impeach him

we better impeach dick

[Solly Mack]

13. Spitzer will resign now and soon.

I'm not saying the GOP wouldn't try and impeach Spitzer but I see it as more of a maneuver at this stage... the threat of it...or resign...and I don't see the Democratic Party wanting his impeachment to dominate the news at this time.

[Solly Mack]

15. Spitzer to resign....just announced

And the GOP knew this before they made their announcement...they had to...just minutes between the 2 announcements

[tridim]

6. As this thing rolls on I get more suspicious

Spitzer fucked up, but this GOP response is too coordinated and speedy. It's setting off the alarm bells in my BS detector.

[Richard D]

7. Yeah . . .

. . .. how many repervlicans have been impeached for having sex with little boys or girls?

[KingOfLostSouls]

8. exactly

I felt the same thing last night


first siegelman starts getting media attention and then BAM, this bomb drops.



this is real political dialogue going on and the repubs are saying, "fuck you, we'll take what we want no matter what and you can't stop us."

[Solly Mack]

9. Opportunists abound in the GOP

[malaise]

14. The Rethugs need some diversion

and Spitzer gave them what they want.

Bottom line - while Dems play nice guys with Bush and Cheney criminality, Rethugs will use anything including sex to whip up the faithful.

Hey Nancy - see how it's done. BUsh committed real crimes. IMPEACH!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

11. sex. of course the GOP will impeach. . . . democrats.

Treason, lies, deceit, dishonoring the constitution, destroying the Bill of Rights, invading a country, torture - but NOOOOOOOO, we can't impeach the culprits for that.


makes me sick of the democratic leadership in congress, it really does.
