But believe me, the Party Leadership pretty much used that phrase in the lead to the election cycle of 2006.

Remember 2006? Nancy Pelosi and John Conyers both saying that all we needed was to get a majority in Congress and then we would all (Wink Wink; Nudge Nudge) see something momentous happen.

I know Conyers said this as I paid $ 25 to eat at a local political luncheon where he was the guest speaker.

Then they got their majority and were all sworn in in January of 2007, and all of a sudden "Impeachment is off the table."
