Re: What are Bush's secret tapes?

Try the Downing Street memo, or the 1998 PNAC report. There are plenty of options here. The problem is the public attitude towards impeachment, created and fed by the press. Remember Ford's funeral? Did you ever stop to wonder why trying a president who had obviously committed a crime would be a 'national tragedy' or some other 'emotional' garbage? In my view, those are code words for the fact that the American public had already reached the limit of their attention span, and were aghast at the possibility of having to follow a major event like that in the news for an extended period of time rather than watching Shaft, or whatever the hell people watched back then. Similarly, impeachment proceedings now could potentially interrupt the American Idol finale.

This is why I can only half sympathize with Louis

Like him, I was a huge dork, but I don't remember being this much of a dumbass. If you're gonna be a nerd, you should at least try to do well in school. He truly has the worst of both worlds.

Clearly...

The people at the ballpark were not 'real Americans', but Al Qaeda terrorists in disguise. These are the same impostors who are screwing with our polls and who voted the Democratic congress in. I just wonder where all the real Americans have gone...
