1. I will be recording it.

2. I've often wondered about this...what was the fallout for the people with whom she had professional

associations.

I've wondered if anyone was killed as a result of their contacts with Valerie Plame. And what about their families?

The US Congress is absolutely derilict in its duty to impeach this 'President' and remove him from office.

3. impeach this 'President'

Oh, you ain't kidding. Never in the history of the U.S. has a president more deserved it. Gerald Ford's pardoning Nixon set a precedence to allow power far too much leeway. After all, these are the people who should be held to the highest standards.

4. Impeach, and remove from office....that's the other big piece. It will do no good for the House to

impeach this criminal taking up space at 1600 Penn Ave, if the Senate doesn't convict & remove.

5. You'll never get one if you don't try the other.

6. It can send a historical message.

I loved what Feingold did by offering a censure resolution. He stood alone, except for Leahy, who was there. I like scruples. It may be Jimmy Stewart in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" naive, but it's what I admire.

7. Think of the facts that would come to light

Everything we know, all put out in the mainstream media--of course with their spin, but the facts would be brought to light. And the precedent would be set, with the Republicans forcedto stand up for their leader's criminal behavior.

8. I don't think Ford pardoning Nixon was it...

I think Bill shutting down Iran Contra was far more damaging.
