The Continued Bla Bla Bla

This is ridiculous. They cannot unseat a corrupt Attorney General, won't impeach a corrupt President and Vice President and are too cowardly to deny war funding.

I am so thouroughly disgusted by these people in Washington.

How quickly can Congressional recall elections be organized across the country?

Error?

The post describes him as a former Minnesota U.S. Attorney. Elsewhere, he's described as a former Missouri U.S. Attorney. I think the latter is correct.

Good

drag him in front of the committee and, if he doesn't sing like a canary, bring in jack bauer, and have jack use a few "enhanced interrogation techniques" until he spills the beans...

So what?

Subpoena Rove and get it over with. George now knows he can find sanctuary in Albania so there is life other than in Crawford. Also, how'd those zany Albanians get so close to Bush? There is a two football field perimeter surrounding him when he's "loose" in the homeland...

Criticism of Congress premature...

While I too suffer frustration and impatience with the slowness of the process, we need to recall that Congress is a "deliberative body", that impeachment requires evidence, which they are accumulating within the limits imposed by the lack of a veto proof majority.

The subpoenas went out today for a couple of White House insiders who possibly may yield more infomation leading to Rove and Cheney. Having McNulty back in a more cooperative mood may also assist in determining actual impeachable offenses.

If a federal prosecutor was stymied by lies under oath, so that he can only convict an underling, how much more difficult might it be for congress to get impeachment done.

Also remember that part of what we are coping with is a lack of mass public outrage, which I believe has many sources, not the least of which is the major media's fear induced incompetence.

Let us at least wish our allies well and work to get them what they need. More support not less.
