    How about a call for impeachment, Joe?

    The problems that Scarborough alluded to were there since 2003. Where was Joe then? And, since Bush is the first sitting president to admit to an impeachable offense (according to John Dean, who may something of this type of thing), I await with baited breath for Joe to lead a conservative groundswell in favour of impeachment. After all, if central features of the conservative doctrine (not the neo-con version) are respect for the traditions that made a society healthy, limited government and personal accountability for your actions, especially those of the criminal ilk, then for a conservative to NOT call for Bush's head on a platter is simple opportunism.
