I'm not much of a Maureen Dowd fan, but she certainly nailed this one!

Goons of August, huh?

Concise and accurate... I like it.

As sick as some are of hearing about the Founding Fathers I'm sick of hearing of MLK. And so as I started to read Dowd's column I quit.

Even when people bring up Einstein in conversation I start to improperly call Godwin's Law just before I realize it's really a boring ergo nihilistic world of oft repeated claptrap.

I just placed my bet on the BSU Wash U game Swimmer. They even gave us 3.5 points. I think we'll win it outright but worst case is they beat us by a field goal.

Should i count my winnings early?

Launching a war based on a lie that starts WW3 is not a impeachable offense?

"The Democrats never impeached W. and they had real grounds: starting a war on false premises and sanctioning torture. "The Republican Party is in a constant struggle between its ego and its id," Axelrod says, "and the id has mostly won out lately."

"It isn't the president who should leave. It's the misguided lawmakers trying to drive him out.

"For some of the rodeo clowns clamoring for impeachment around the country, Barack Obama's real crime is presiding while black.

You mean Obama going George Bush and now it isnt impeacheable but when Bush does it....btw Saddam Hussein gassed his own people (fact) Bashar al Assad(maybe)

How does if feel to have voted for a War Mongerer for President?

I have no idea, but I do think that Coach Leach might get some comeuppance for his snide little comment about the strength of the SEC when he opens against the last place team in the Conference last year at Auburn this weekend.

Auburn is pretty pathetic, but I think they can handle a PAC team. Hell, Georgia Tech beat USC last year, and they couldn't even get past Middle Tennessee State University during the regular season.

As big a failure as 'O' is, if Impeached then Biden would be POTUS..........that would be worse.

 

[GordonGecko]

Dowd just writing the bleedin' obvious.

Even rightwingers here dismiss the impeachment talk.....

for now.

unlike the Democrats who still want Bush held for War crimes....you know for attacking a country whose leader gassed it's own people.

 

[GordonGecko]

BTW, any Righty who believes the President will be impeached....is an idiot.

I have it on the highest authority.

"..."And these are lawyers, well — Ph.D.s in history — I said, 'Tell me how I can impeach the president of the United States. What evidence do you have?' You've got to have the evidence."... "

...OMFG - who elects these idiots?

You can impeach for high crimes and misdemeanors. Impeachment really isn't a high bar. It is so undefined it could be for anything. If someone got elected and it turned out he was just really incompetent he could be impeached. Elections are not enthronements and its probably why the vast majority of veeps are really second class peeps. Scares off impeachment.

Every so often, Dowd nails it. I'll give ya that. But this time.......not so much. There is no impeachment fever in the GOP. There might be a few here and there that like to talk about it and a few of those who might want to do it................. but that does not constitute a "fever" for it.

Dowd was just grasping for a subject to write about on this one.

And maybe they are just trying to keep Obama in line.
