		<description>&lt;/blockquote&gt;Isn&#039;t she next in line after Bush and Cheney for the Presidency? And does that mean the US is only two successful impeachments away from having its first female President?&lt;blockquote&gt;

Oh please. 
Oh PLEASE. 

Oh pleaseohpleaseohplease...
Oh please shut down the government during a war in a juvenile attempt at revenge for Bill &quot;Money From The PLA&quot; Clinton. 

Oh please, after assuring the American public that the Republicans were lying when they said that you just weren&#039;t mature enough to be trusted with leadership, throw an impeachment for President Bush. Make it as media-centered as possible, too- make sure you grab as much face time, as many sound bites as you can- we all know how much media presence substitutes for thought on your side of the aisle.

 

I&#039;m begging here.</description>

In. your. pinko. wet. dreams. mate.

The House can impeach, but it takes the Senate to convict.

Impeachment is like being charged.  It is not the same as being convicted.

Impeachment requires a simple majority in the House.  The Senate must pass a 2/3 majority to convict.  That ain&#039;t gonna happen.  Even then, it&#039;s unlikely that an Impeachment would pass the House.  Thankfully, there are more than enough Dems who aren&#039;t mentally deranged commo freaks.</description>

		<description>Q: &lt;I&gt;Isn&#039;t she next in line after Bush and Cheney for the Presidency? And does that mean the US is only two successful impeachments away from having its first female President?&lt;/I&gt;

The answer, quite simply, would be for Mr. Cheney to take Ms. Pelosi &lt;I&gt;hunting&lt;/I&gt;.

There will be the camaraderie, the cold winter air, and, of course, the usual disagreement about the quarry. 

She will scream &lt;I&gt;WABBIT season!&lt;/I&gt; He will declare &lt;I&gt;DUCK season!&lt;/I&gt;

Then...she should&#039;ve &lt;I&gt;ducked&lt;/I&gt;. Quack!</description>

		<description>seem like a simple game of join the dots.

look at the number of republican fund raisers jailed or indicted 
extrapolate that ANY fund raiser in order to compete must be using the same tactics</description>

		<description>DD
If they make Hastings the chair of the intel committee it&#039;s even worse than what the GOP has being doing.. At least they got rid of sleazy characters. If Hastings gets the nod, it will the proof the Dems promote their sleazy people. Not that we need proof of that after Clinton. 


Don&#039;t get me wrong. I was in favour of the GOP copping a good hiding for waht they have been doing. People hold the GOP to a higher standard then the Dems. In other words there&#039;s only room for one sleazy party in the congress. 

Anyway lets enjoy the show while it lasts because nothing else will get done for the next two years.</description>

		<description>Jason - I&#039;ll add it to my collection. Here&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://crookedtimber.org/2004/12/20/conservationists-and-conservatives/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;one of my favourites&lt;/a&gt; from Crooked Timber:
 &lt;blockquote&gt;
   I&#8217;m sorry, but I think that American conservatives, like Don Arthur...
 &lt;/blockquote&gt;
 John Quiggin came to my defence by pointing out that I was neither American nor conservative (which is almost, but not quite, true).
 
DD - If you know nothing about Pelosi how do you know I&#039;m smearing her in this post?
 
As far as I can tell, Pelosi operates pretty much the same way most powerful American politicians do. You can&#039;t win elections without money and you can&#039;t get money for nothing. Even &lt;a href=&quot;http://theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20718822-32522,00.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;my fellow RWDB Janet Albrechtsen&lt;/a&gt; has worked that one out. Does this mean Pelosi&#039;s corrupt? I doubt it.
 
Maybe I wrote this post because I&#039;m &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.clubtroppo.com.au/2006/11/12/castration-anxiety-sweeps-conservative-punditry/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;insecure about my masculinity&lt;/a&gt;. </description>

		<description>Jeez, don&#039;t you RWDBs know anything except &quot;smear and fear&quot;?

There was nothing more predictable than that the right would start smearing each and every Dem in any position of power while the votes were still being counted.  I know nothing about Pelosi, and this article means I still know nothing about her, because it&#039;s just more of the same shit we used to see from your lot when the Clenis was President.  It lacks all credibility.</description>

		<description>I am going to enjoy watching the writhing on the Dems side with the Hastings appointment. This is one of those times when you get out the popcorn, put up your feet and enjoy the show.

It&#039;s gonna be a corker of a Congress the next 2 years. Nothing gets done (good) and the blood sport is simply superb</description>

		<description>She&#039;s starting very badly with, apparently, no intention of punting once-sacked &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reason.com/blog/show/116650.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Mollohan &lt;/a&gt;and every intention of putting even more ethically challenged (ie actually impeached not merely investigated and sanctioned) &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tcsdaily.com/article.aspx?id=110906D&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Hastings &lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;in charge&lt;/i&gt; of the Intelligence Committee!

She certainly realised that corruption, or the perception thereof, was an election issue (politics-geeks remember &#039;&lt;i&gt;drain the swamp&lt;/i&gt;&#039;?). But she seems quite happy to do just what the Republicans did and assume that the other side being at least as bad the issue won&#039;t bite them.</description>
