From Tiberius :

"Because he hasn't done anything to justify it. Congress has gone hand in hand with him through the whole of 9/11 and Iraq (and still are by not pulling funding). He didn't lie to anyone about why we went there and if he did then dems were complicit in the act."

"The firings of the attorneys hasn't been proven to be anything more than bad management."

"The NSA wiretapping is arguably within the powers he has as CIC."

"Unlike Clinton, Bush has worked at his job and taken it seriously while going through the greatest attack on US soil and deposing a dictator."

With an typical mindset like this writing, is it any wonder more Americans are not up in arms about this administration?

Remember, this is the standard Bush supporter line.

Much as the word impeachment gets bandied about, it really doesn't mean much anymore.

To impeach someone is to indict him on charges. What is really needed is removal from office. Bill Clinton was impeached and he remained in office afterwards.

Sometimes I have the dark fantasy of having a "7 Days in May" style coup where people who really believe in the Constitution march Bush, Cheney and all the other miscreants in this administration physically out of their offices with all their belongings in a box, with armed security guards-just like high level managers get when they are canned.

They didn't do their job, so they get forced out in the most humiliating and public way-with other people gasping in wonder.

It is used as a tactic to remind other workers that employment is not for life, nor is it guaranteed.

Now that would be quite a sight, wouldn't it? So much more gratifying than all those Congressional hearings and votes!

"Civility" notwithstanding between Presidents, I think Jimmy Carter should have stood behind his words. Just because he's an ex, and the current one is a jerk, does not require him to apologize for honesty.

I don't know why he did it, because they can't take away his pension, or Secret Service detail (if he still has one, which I think is guaranteed for his lifetime), so why did he give up his right to free speech? Fear of offending the most blatantly offensive president in history? Come on!

I think he just had a moment of truth and he let it slip-he's a good man, nevertheless-far better than the one he was criticizing.

I guess Bush must have the same memory problems that Gonzales has.

It was last week that Comey testified about the hospital visit, which in all likelihood was illegal.

Firing 9 US prosecutors for no good reason besides political payback is not a good enough reason?

He's lied before Congress, and we will shortly see (when Monica Goodling testifies) how much lying he did.

The no-confidence vote has to be done this week-we can't let Congress escape this travesty so easily.

Remove the SOB before he does any more damage!

Since when has the administration ever done anything legal? They just want to destroy FISA by expanding it to mean anything goes.

They haven't played by those rules in quite a long time, you know...and the NSA is still secretly spying on everyone-terrorist or not, without FISA approval.

Whatever lies they tell to justify changing the rules are irrelevant. They do whatever they please no matter what body of law there is to cover it.

FISA is a terrible inconvenience to them, and in their view, it's way too old to apply to the "new war on terror".

Until Congress tells the administration "NO" to any changes and that the administration is going to be held accountable for each and every breach of FISA will it have any teeth.

I read the transcript. What the hell was he trying to say?

There were several questions that didn't get answered, or was I not reading it properly.

Oh,yes. Read between the lines!

"We don't comment on National Security matters...and it's none of your business anyway, so just shut up. Even if I had the answers, you wouldn't get them out of me."

Ok, so if the Democrats bring impeachment charges, does that mean the MSM, being in the thrall of the Republicans, will actually cover this story?

Let's not kid ourselves. The vast majority of the MSM is republican based; they play to that crowd with the money.

Most Americans don't hear the other side of the story, and they yawn every time someone mentions the crimes this administration has done with "so what, they all do it".

The apathy of the average American and the MSM must be overcome to make this a workable thing-or else all is wasted effort.

Hiatt is finally waking up-gee whiz, it only took him 7 years. We've known about it all along. What did him in? a conscience?

It will take a lot more work from some major newspapers to get this ball rolling. Otherwise it will be business as usual.

They're feeling dispirited and depressed? Try being an ordinary citizen and watching this entire debacle from the sidelines, not able to effect any change at all..and having to live with this criminal and cowardly administration.

Poor babies...they got caught with their pants down. We got stuck with them crying about how bad things are, as if we don't already know?

No wonder they live in "la-la land". The rest of us live in the real world where their pain doesn't do anything for us.

We can't wait for it to end, either!

They could do something about the situation, but that would take courage-which is a quality sorely lacking in that part of the world. So deal with it, you idiots!
