IT'S A FAR CRY FROM THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL REID SHOULD BE CONVENING, BUT AT LEAST SHOWS THE DEMOCRATS HAVE A BIT OF A PULSE

Apparently neither Pelosi nor Hoyer heard about Scott McClellan's admission yesterday that Bush and Cheney, as well as several of the top cronies in the criminal enterprise known as the Bush Regime, were guilty of outing Valerie Plame, a clear crime. How do I know they didn't hear? They haven't put impeachment back on the table, where the Founding Fathers left it for just such an occurrence. Fortunately Chris Dodd was paying attention and has already asked for a thorough investigation.

"Today's revelations by Mr. McClellan are very disturbing and raise several important questions that need to be answered. If in fact the President of the United of States knowingly instructed his chief spokesman to mislead the American people, there can be no more fundamental betrayal of the public trust.
"During his confirmation process, Attorney General Mukasey said he would act independently. Accordingly, today, I call on the Attorney General to live up to his word and launch an immediate investigation to determine the facts of this case, the extent of any cover up and determine what the President knew and when he knew it."

And Huckabee agrees that this egregious example of Bush criminality needs to investigated. Maybe if all the Republicans running for president tell Pelosi it's ok...

That few Americans-- outside of arch-enablers Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer-- trust Bush any longer is reflected in his rapidly sinking poll numbers, currently in the mid-20s, the lowest of any American president ever.  And today's NY Times reports on another first, the Senate refusing to recess over the holidays, worried-- and rightfully so-- that Bush will go back on his worthless promise not to make recess appointments. And the Democrats know just which sack of crap he plans to burden the American people with this time.

Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, chose to schedule the so-called pro forma sessions because Mr. Bush took advantage of past recesses to install nominees including John R. Bolton, as ambassador to the United Nations, and, most recently, Sam Fox, a donor to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, as ambassador to Belgium. This time, Democrats were particularly suspicious of plans to appoint as surgeon general a nominee they oppose.

“This is the first time that pro formas have been used to block recess appointments,” said Jim Manley, a spokesman for Mr. Reid.
