'Impeachment' Talk, Pro and Con, Appears in Media at Last

NEW YORK Suddenly this week, scattered outposts in the media have started mentioning the “I” word, or at least the “IO” phrase: impeach or impeachable offense.

The sudden outbreak of anger or candor has been sparked by the uproar over revelations of a White House approved domestic spying program, with some conservatives joining in the shouting.

Ron Hutcheson, White House correspondent for Knight Ridder Newspapers (known as “Hutch” to the president), observed that "some legal experts asserted that Bush broke the law on a scale that could warrant his impeachment.” Indeed such talk from legal experts was common in print or on cable news.

Newsweek online noted a “chorus” of impeachment chat, and its Washington reporter, Howard Fineman, declared that Bush opponents are “calling him Nixon 2.0 and have already hauled forth no less an authority than John Dean to testify to the president’s dictatorial perfidy. The ‘I-word’ is out there, and, I predict, you are going to hear more of it next year — much more.”........

1. It's hard to ignore

Constitutional scholars, judges, and top lawyers when they say that what Bush did is clearly impeachable. As natural gas and petroleum prices soar, and Americans get restive over this and the quagmire in Iraq, they will be watching the Congress closely to see what is being done. I have yet to hear one person say to my face that they think domestic spying is a good thing, and some that tend to vote repuke around here have a strong libertarian streak. So they will be watching. I see more frightened repukes calling for impeachment or at least censure as it slowly dawns on them that if they don't they risk losing their seat in Congress or the Chimp declares himself dictator-either way, they become pretty powerless.

3. 85% agree

The MSNBC poll is still up and taking votes this morning.

Do you believe President Bush's actions justify impeachment?
126,341 responses

85% respond "Yes, between the secret spying, the deceptions leading to war and more, there is plenty to justify putting him on trial."

5. I realize that it would

be satisfying to impeach him since the repubs did the same to Clinton. But really do we want to do this? Cheney would be Pres and the country would be in turmoil.

6. I believe we can walk and chew gum at the same time, impeach both.

There are plenty of grounds for both to be impeached, they are in this together, maybe we can get a discount.

7. So then remind me

It has been awhile since 12th grade government, wouldn't Hastert then be Pres?

[Uncle Joe]

9. Yes,

unfortunately, for the next 2&1/5 to 3 years, however Bush/Cheney need to be held accountable anyway.
