Well they did spend $70 million trying to figure out why the Clintons lost money on their itsy bitsy land deal in the middle of nowhere.

Perhaps the sheer magnitude of corruption in the Bush administration has the opposition and the media in a state of shock and awe. It's hard to keep up when every week brings with it new and stunning outrages.

For Republicans Lying about Sex is impeachable, but perjury and treason are acceptable.

The plain fact is that Clinton's impeachment was about much more than lies about sex....pumping that tired old line is really not too smart......

Now that the Bush administration has been outed, what are we waiting for ?

baltimoresun.com

Instead of wasting even more time and resources ferreting out who leaked what and when, we should be starting impeachment proceedings against the man at whose door the buck ultimately stops.

What could possibly be a higher crime than deliberately misleading the nation into an ill-conceived and mishandled war?

Diverting our resources away from the pursuit of those responsible for 9/11 and pouring oil on the inferno of fanaticism worldwide to further a personal agenda are surely treason.

In his 2003 State of the Union address, to push his war on Iraq, President Bush used charges that Iraq was attempting to buy uranium for its nuclear program from Niger.

These charges had been debunked by the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency and by former U.S. Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV.

When Mr. Wilson published his findings the following July, the Bush administration went into attack mode. To impugn Mr. Wilson's report, the name of his wife, Valerie Plame, a CIA undercover operative, was leaked to the press.

This tactic is perfectly in line with the administration's usual smear tactics, but this time it tripped over the federal law that makes it a felony to disclose the names of covert operatives - because doing so places them, and those working with them, in danger.

No matter how much stonewalling, mincing of words and passing the buck the administration does, the facts finally can speak for themselves: This administration lied consistently and persistently to further its covert agenda.

Instead of picking our next Supreme Court justice, President Bush should be seeking legal counsel to defend him, and those aiding and abetting him, against charges of committing the most egregious crime against "We the People" in our nation's history.
