Oh I get it.... I juxtaposed the name Johnson and Jackson when I read Dwights original post. I didnt have a $20 bill so I couldnt call him on it. But now, I can see I was wrong anyway.... but for a different reason.

BTW it was Andrew Jackson or Johnson that was the first Irish American president correct? Anybody know?

Also, does anybody know how old Ben-Veniste is from Watergate. I saw him on tv this weekend and he looked so young. He must have been in his early 30s at the most during watergate.

Dipy, if all you are looking for is "bloodthirsty" members of the opposing party when drawing parallels between impeachments, then look no further than Nixon's Articles of Impeachment.

As I recall, both Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodam were pretty "bloodthirsty" back then about impeaching Nixon. Hillary submitted a legal brief which argued that Nixon should be denied counsel. Yes, that's true. And Bill was speaking with reporters in Arkansas, saying "If President lied to a duly authorized Federal Agent, he should be impeached". And, "If any President lied to the American people, he should resign".

Kinda bloodthirsty, hey? Gee, how did the Nixon thing turn out? Care to draw some more parallels?
