Ex-aide to Rove, resigns amid U.S. attorney flap. Heckuva job, Griffy!

Tim Griffin, former aide to Rove, implicated in forced resignations of 8 U.S. attorneys resigns as interim U.S. attorney to A) Abandon sinking ship in ratlike manner; B) Offer himself as sacrificial lamb covering for Rove, Gonzalez, Cheney and Bush; C) Spend more time with nonexistent family; or D) "Pursue opportunities in private sector".My personal choice here would be E) Who cares? While it's a start, it's clearly not enough. Maybe this is the beginning of the avalanche. I must say that the Democrats have been drawing out these scandals as long as they can with decent efficiency. Or at least I hope that is the plan. One can only hope they understand that the longer the GOP is steeped in corruption, the worse off their chances will be for 2008. Impeachment, although I support it, could make Bush out to be the victim of a political attack and could ultimately back-fire if there aren't enough votes.

House Speaker Pelosi wants to hear your opinion on Bush/Cheney impeachment

Rumor has it that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is conducting a phone poll -- the number is 1-202-225-0100. Just call in and say something to the effect of "I'd like to register my support for the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney." It appears that there is no actual poll, but that this was started in the forums at Democratic Underground. All in all, it doesn't much matter. In light of the recent HD-DVD key fiasco it is becoming very clear that the internet masses can move a mountain rather easily. There has never been a mountain in great need of moving. Call this number and show your support.

Is impeachment in the works?

Conyers' office aide talking about rumblings of impeachment. Again it must be said that Impeachment does not mean removal from Office. It must also be said that removal from Office would mean that Vice President would become the President unless he were impeached first. Furthermore, impeachment requires a far greater consensus amongst politicians. If history is to be our guide, Bush will stay in Office unless he is caught red-handed with a dead girl or a live boy.
