Nope, he's missing it on all counts -- he's trying to uphold the office of King, and he clearly doesn't believe that the Constitution is applicable any more...

clinton was never going to be impeached. it was the republicans way of saying ''he is evil'', the dude, got a blowjob and no one with a semi-normal intellect gave a damn. look at his trannie husband/wife that i have to deal with in NY now.

Clinton was, in fact, impeached. He wasn't removed from office, which is the step after impeachment, but he was impeached.

Re: Another Conservative Comes to his Senses

nah, it got rolling with nixon. once the gov't decided to out its opponents, it never stopped. they were 100% correct to do it, but it has been out of hand. every president has has a major controversy that isnt a real controversy (outside of the war, which for every geneva convention agreement we taunt for it being illegal, there is one saying it is.) . american politics are just plain broken.

Re: Another Conservative Comes to his Senses

political corruption came to a climax during the civil war. Then carpetbaggers jacked this place up like no one has ever seen.

I think the article is really good, except for his understanding of Iraq. Like all media people and media consumers living in big cities, the author focuses on the micro details and not on the big picture.

After 9-11 we had to completely reevaluate our stategic contingency plans. A year after 9-11 Iraq starts f-ing around with U.N. inspectors again. Why? Saddam was either making WMD or was trying to provoke us into war. Either way we called his bluff and he got raped. Unfortunately the rest of Iraq and our own soldiers didn't fair well either.

I'm sure our strategic contingency assumed that even the most ignorant social pacifist would have sided with Bush instead of Saddam and that we would have support during the rebuilding and military campaign, unfortunately that assumption was the biggest strategic error we made. Insolence, it seems, is far wider spread than we believed, particularly in Europe and in the American press. Anyone who attempts to stop a war by victimizing a brutal dictator and villifying a relatively upstanding man (because he is a slackjawed Texan) isn't worth the Charmin they wipe their ass with.

The Bush cabinet's failure to neutralize such boundless irrationality is its great downfall. Clinton knew how to manipulate the Europeans and the media clowns, Bush doesn't bother with such endeavors, and we're paying for it.
