Nothing short of heads on pikes will satisfy them; talk and rhetoric won't do the job. But what satiates the Moonbats will horrify the Blue Dogs. What to do, what to do...

Couldn't concur more...been up all night worried about the future but, as I see it, the Dems cannot afford to go after Bush in an impeachment try. First of all they'd have a bit of trouble with the "high crimes and misdemeanor" clause in the Constitution because the president, though mighty clumsy, has committed neither. Secondly, if they put him up on trial and are successful, they'd lose the issue to run against in 08 because they have no others to spark an angry electorate. Lastly, Bush would become a martyr in the eyes of most--hounded from office for simply doing his duty protecting his nation--and, when we're hit again, the protest regarding their failure of providing our security would run through this country like a million Katrinas.

You're assuming the Democrats will behave rationally. Their base hates Bush and wants him gone. And they have to pay at least lip service to their kooks. At some point, I presume they will press ahead with an impeachment vote.
