'Cause we're the only ones here. I doubt DLC members of Congress are reading Salon. (Do any Congressmen read it?)
Though I couldn't agree more with Mr. Keillor's words, I'm beginning to get a sense of futility from calls for impeachment in the liberal press. It's our version of Bush calling for a mission to Mars. Who are we waiting for to lead the charge? Joe Biden? Hilary Clinton? Joe Lieberman? The Democrats in the Senate couldn't present a united front against Samuel Alito.
What Dems need to concentrate on is electing new leaders, preferably ones that have spunk and spine. Ones that actually aren't afraid to make a stink when things like Abu Graib come to light, instead of cowering in front of the microphones because they don't want to be seen as "not supporting the troops." Then maybe talk of impeachment would not seem like powerless people posturing before mirrors.
