Impeach Him

Of course we need to impeach the motherfucker. And the rank-and-file Democrats need to stop shaking every time a Republican says “boo”. From Matt Yglesias:
Perhaps more to the point, what could possibly be served by denying that Dole is, in some sense, correct about this? Everyone knows that a Democratic congress will mean subpoena power. What’s at issue are two different ways of characterizing this. Dole wants people to think of partisan witch-hunts, Pelosi wants people to think of sober-minded oversight. Simply resting silent on the issue isn’t going to stop Dole and whomever else from saying what they want. The only way to challenge Dole’s characterization is for Pelosi to offer one of her own, which is exactly what she did.
Were I of the press and were I interviewing a politician who warned that electing Democrats would lead to investigations of the Administration and moves to impeach, I would adopt my best innocent facial expression and ask, “Oh, for what?”
All this “impeachment” talk by the Republicans is P-R-O-J-E-C-T-I-O-N — they KNOW they’d be pushing for impeachment if Bush was a (D).
