Bravo, alan! The Dems are so used to their own stink, they don't realize the damn thing needs flushing! It seems Sen.-elect Schumer is covering all the bases, here: ------------------------------- New York Post NEWS SCHUMER: SENATE COULD BOOT PREZ By SUSAN EDELMAN Sen.-elect Charles Schumer isn't betting President Clinton will hold onto his presidency. "Who knows? If you asked me six weeks ago whether the House would vote to impeach the president, I'd say, 'No way.' "So predictions are hazardous," Schumer said yesterday - expressing surprisingly little faith Clinton can win Senate acquittal on charges he perjured himself and obstructed justice in Sexgate. "In the House, what started as a small group [who favored impeachment] conglomerated into a large group. "I hope that doesn't happen in the Senate, but it might," Schumer told The Post as he dished out mashed sweet potatoes and green beans at a Brooklyn YWCA Christmas dinner for 1,200 homeless people. The congressman and his wife, Iris, and daughters Jessica, 14, and Alison, 9, joined dozens of volunteers helping out at the annual dinner and toy giveaway. Schumer repeated his belief Clinton should be censured for his Sexgate lies and cover-up - and finish his term. The drive to avoid a "long and nasty" impeachment trial could gain momentum, he said, following New York senior Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan's pronouncement this week that he favors censuring Clinton. Moynihan - who has clashed with Clinton and was one of the first Democrats to blast his behavior - is highly respected and influential. "I think what he says is going to have a lot of credence, not only with Democrats but with Republicans as well," Schumer said. About 20 gung-ho Republican senators "want to go all the way" and convict Clinton on the two articles of impeachment - grand jury perjury and obstruction of justice - approved by the House, and give him the boot, Schumer said. Removal requires 67 votes - two-thirds of the 100 members. "They're not close to that," Schumer said. "The question is: Will a small group have the disproportionate clout that it had in the House?" House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Texas) said earlier this week if senators "spend plenty of time in the evidence room" reading impeachment documents, the votes "may appear out of thin air." Moynihan, a constitutional scholar, had said earlier that perjury might be impeachable. He now contends the charges against Clinton are not serious enough, and that ousting him could "destabilize the presidency" and weaken the nation. Schumer warned an impeachment trial could be "very destructive." "It would last a long time. It would be acrimonious. And it would take us away from work we should be doing: making our schools better, our streets safer, and preserving Social Security." Schumer did not want to discuss reports the White House is gearing up to attack Monica Lewinsky's credibility - and challenge her story that Clinton touched her breasts and genitals. Clinton has sworn he never sexually stimulated the lusty ex-intern. "People want to avoid a long, nasty trial," Schumer said. "It could end up being very nasty." Copyright (c) 1998, N.Y.P.
