Because it is an election year and liberals are determined to mire the Bush administration. The only problem is that it showd how they let their illogical hatred reach new lows. If this had happened under Clinton, if reported, he'd laugh at it and so would all the other liberals.
Rush Limbaugh is convinced that the dems plan to use the prison stuff to attempt to impeach Bush .. if Bush is re-elected in November.
I'm not sure I agree .. my reasoning is that the repubs may pick up 5-7 seats in the Senate .. and ?? in the House. With those numbers, there is no way impeachment could get through the house or senate.
