Well, the "new tone" did last a whole...what? 20...30 minutes, right? That's a new rat record.

So will President Bush step down? Hello, Mr. President Richard Cheney! First executive order? Outlaw the Democrats? If you say so, Mr. President...

Seriously, and this is all hypothetical, who succeeds the Veep if the Veep assumes the Presidency? Certainly not Nasty Pelosi?

A real need for attention....creepy. A useful idiot extraordinaire

[yankeedame]

This is the party of revenge. GB isn't going anywhere but they will probably try.

In truth hatred does recoils upon the hate-filled. And the vengeful man falls into the pit he had dug for another

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Good point. Corgressional Dems also know that one of their other inferred campaign promises to dismantle our natinal intelligence may hit a road block. If another terrorist attack happens, then thier name would be on the bill if they interfered more. 2008 would show Dem losses everywhere and they can't afford that.

[Wilhelm Tell]

In a way I hope the Democrats are stupid enough to have hearings about every single thing. Let's not start with Iraq. Let them start with hearings about the 2000 elections! I for one am nostalgic for the halcyon days of hanging chad. Maybe the moonbattiest of them can hold a hearing on why 9/11 was a hoax or a Zionist conspiracy or a space alien attack. They can have hearings about Abu Gharib, and what Bush and Rumsfeld "should have known." You know, Rumsfeld should have been over there 24/7 personally supervising that the prisoners were comfy. Moving forward, maybe Web can investigate the naughty things that Foley said and use them in a new book.

While the Democrats preside over such a circus, terrorists will be finalizing their plans for attacks that will make 9/11 look like a childish prank. But let's face it, a terrorist attack was eventually going to happen under the Republicans and it is likely to be a much sooner reality under the Democrats. So in the meantime I would rather the government be caught up in nonsense than in real dangerous stuff like giving illegal aliens citizenship, taking guns away from law-abiding citizens, denying funds to our military and so on. Maybe after the political and radioactive fallout settles Americans can send adults to Washington, assuming Washington still exists.

man I hope she disappears in 2 years if not sooner. She makes my blood pressure rise. I am surprised she's been around this long. They can impeach all they want. We impeached Clinton and all it did was make the man a hero in the eyes of many. Things are gonna get fun but not before upping my blood pressure meds a bit.

[panaxanax]

"A real need for attention...."

Yes, the attention of a plastic surgeon. If we're going to be forced to endure looking at this butt ugly pig for the next two years couldn't we at least start a Cindy She-ham "Facial Reconstruction Fund"?

From the look on Jesse's face, I'd bet he'd even donate.

[goldstategop]

The moonbats will be satisfied with nothing less than a coup d'etat.

"only a matter of time"

My predictions for the "bi-partisanship" kumbya stuff that pelosi is spouting will last through the amnesty prograam and minimum wage raise before she jumps on the impeachment bandwagon publicly.

[goldstategop]

The Left wants to criminalize conservatism and political differences. That's what this is all about. At their core, they're Stalinists.

They hate President Bush and they don't much care about the Constitution or democracy.

It's only a matter of time until Pelosi and Conyers join this mob of poop-hurling monkeys.

And Shays and Collins and Snowe and Spector and Hagel and Graham.

Impeachment probably won't be trumpeted until 8-10 months before the 2008 election.

who succeeds the Veep if the Veep assumes the Presidency?

###

The President nominates a VP and the Senate confirms or rejects the nominee.

[Woodman]

Actually I think it will be funny to watch how fast the DNC runs away from these people now that they have their power back. I am convinced that even if they do agree with them, they want power muck more and just used them for creating a wedge issue.

[fortheDeclaration]

This will bog down the Democrats.

Even if it got through the House, the President and Vice President would never be convicted by a 2/3 vote in the Senate.

The Democrats in the House are not going to waste time on this.

[fortheDeclaration]

She will turn on the Dems when they do not impeach. SHould be fun

And when we are still in Iraq next year.

Moreover, Liberman being put in charge of Homeland Defense is going to kill the doves as well.

[fortheDeclaration]

Why is she always touching people?

She is 'sensitive'.

[goldstategop]

Just impeaching him will be payback for the Republicans' impeachment of Clinton. Do Republicans want to run with the impeachment albatross around their necks in 2008? From the Democrats' point of view, its not a legal exercise; its a political one. And when the time is right they will move to get the President and Republicans will be powerless to stop them.
