Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

Nancy Pelosi claims on 60 Minutes that House will not impeach Bush under her Speakership
Greg Tinti has video of Pelosi from her interview on 60 Minutes this evening. Lesley Stahl, surprisingly, asked Pelosi some good questions and at one point during the video Pelosi says that if she becomes House Speaker, Bush will not be impeached.
Here’s the transcript of her interview.
Three words: Don’t Believe Her.

- Yeh, that Plame thing really worked out well. the real culprit confess’s and the nutroots were so burried in their own rhetoric, it took two weeks for them to realize what happened. Now you don’t hear a peep about it anymore. Well they mined it for all it was worth, so they have to move on to this weeks “AnythingGate”. I see the top dawg at the NY Trash has repented on the job they did killing the terrorist money tracing program. Maybe flagging sales is sending them a message from the electorate.

Ah geez…the troll is at it again.
He’s unable to speak more than a word or two without changing the subject to Foley, mainly because that’s all he apparently thinks he has. Even then, he gets it wrong by braying about “child molesters” in the GOP, by which he means Emails. But if you read his nonsense on the other thread, the real child molesters – the ones who go far beyond Emails – are fine with him. Like Pelosi, he’s OK with the real pedophiles. You won’t get him to say one word against them. Go check his recent posts.
But what can we expect from someone who gets his news from Bill Maher?? But give him credit – that’s as close as he’s come to actually citing a source for any of his deranged rantings.
I don’t see her pushing for impeachment.
Why should she? Democrats have been out of power for years in Congress, and if they win people will watch to see how they govern. They saw how the impeachment of Bill Clinton cost Republicans seats in Congress in 1998 (including, specifically and not coincidentally, two of the House impeachment managers.) Pelosi is smart enough to know that a Bush impeachment trial is the fastest road they could take back to the minority.
Besides, even if Bush were impeached, then the Senate would have to convict him. Which would require (even assuming the Democrats pick up the six seats they need for control and that every single Democrat voted for conviction) sixteen Republicans to join them.
And, even if they impeached Bush and he were convicted, what would be the reward? Turning on the TV and hearing, “I, Richard Cheney do solemnly swear…”
No, I doubt if Pelosi would want impeachment hearings. Every grain of common sense argues against it.

- That’s why we’re sure she’d try it.

Well, GWR, I think I’ve got it figured out. Keith obviously has the most raging case of homophobia I’ve ever seen. With him, it’s all “who played hide the salami” all the time. I bet he’s even afraid to bend over in his own shower at home alone he’s so hyper.
How else can you explain the fact he views sending dirty IMs as a more serious crime than shooting at and attacking campaign offices?
