Huh.

Huh.

Republicans: It's getting to the point where you would be ill-advised to continue ignoring the 60% of the country who do not support this president any longer.

Democrats: This is not a good thing. Do you not remember how awful 1998 was? It was not a good thing for the country then, and would not be now either.

What??? Politics on this blog??? I thought you had sworn it off. Welcome back to the fray, my dear old friend. Welcome back indeed!

Oh, you are rejoicing far, far too early. It is not a welcome back. This is not really even a political entry. In fact, if I had not typed the words of the parties, you wouldn't even know what the entry was about.

That said, impeachment is far, far too serious a step (word of it coming this early from a conservative magazine, no less) for anyone to get too worked up about it without considering what exactly it is. Again.

Well, to paraphrase your past entry, I'll take the good when I can. Good being political banter anything.

And, agreed that impeachment is, perhaps, far to severe. But perhaps not. It was ceratainly far too sever in its most recent incarnation (Clinton). However, it is worth it to note that my visceral reaction to the notion of impeaching Bush was "F*^% YEAH!" If they impeached Clinton for fibbing about oral sex out of wed-lock, they should bloody crucify Bush for his transgressions.

With that said, and after the intitial tide of bloodlust abated, I agree that impeachment is damaging to the American people's faith in their government. And, if Bush were to be impeached, what would be the fate of Cheney?

If Bush were to abdicate the throne (tounge deliberately in cheek, hard), the sins of the ruler are certainly not held exclusively to him. It would be an avalanche. Apocolyptically speaking, of course. Rather, a Republican Rapture, to coin a phrase. (Tee hee.)
