What astonishes me is that we spent $50 million during the Clinton years to find out how the Clintons screwed around with the law on the Whitewater deal. I still have no idea what the hell Whitewater was about...all I know is that somehow a deal that lost money for the Clintons got us Monica, the overwrought descriptions in a government document about the improper use of cigars and a stained blue dress - all leading to the impeachment of Clinton for perjuring himself about the affair with the intern.
How this administration can lounge around on vacation after the worst national disaster to hit our shores; how we can tolerate a vice president who skulks around the halls of Congress pleading for the right to torture; why our president feels somehow to be above the law because we're in the midst of a pre-emptive war that he declared essential to protect us from the Iraqi mushroom cloud (the same war Bush declared was won more than two years ago); how we can allow these people to continue to trash the Constitution and all that it stands for is beyond me. Why "impeach Bush/Cheney" is not an ever deafening cry is truly one of the most mystifying aspects of our times.
Thanks to Garrison Keillor for bringing it up.
