Everybody relax about the impeachment thing.
Rome wasn't built in a day.

There are going to be investigations. Big investigations. With all sorts of evidence coming out. Not just stuff like video of US troops raping boys at Abu Ghraib, but new evidence. Like George Bush's signature authorizing said torture. Connections with him and Lay. Abramoff. Investigations into illegal wiretapping. Katrina. 9-11. Everything we've been talking about for the last six years is new again, and just the tip of the iceberg.

And in the meantime- we push through are liberal legistlation. Min. wage, medicare, etc. And there's nothing Bush can do but groove on it because we've got him by the shorthairs.

Now once we've got these investigations rolling then impeachment is going to be on the table again. But probably not for long because of lot of this shit makes Watergate look like, well, a frat prank.

1. Nothing he can do except...
Veto everything they send him?

I suspect that veto pen is going to be seeing a lot more action in the next couple of years.

3. Not necessarily. We could always say, "Sign this legislation
or we move forward with impeachment."

Blackmail the bastard. They'll have my blessings if they do.

4. This is why I mentioned we've got him by the shorthairs.
If somebody had you by the shorthairs, would you want to piss them off even more?

I doubt it.

6. Than why the Bolton re-appointment?

Is he seeing how far they will push it? Why Robert Gates? They must know of his baggage....
