In the hilarious clip to your right, Jon Stewart perfectly distills the essence of Gonzales' entire persona and testimony---complete with a Spanish soap opera parody. Stewart puts it this way, "Gonzales is saying basically there are problems, of which he can not speak, for which he is responsible--but not blame. And he is the only one who can clean up the mess, that he can neither confirm nor deny exists...

Digg!

So great. James Madison said that "wanton removal of meritorious officers" should be considered an impeachable offense. The firing of the Attorneys General and the politically-motivated blowing of an undercover CIA officer's identity should both qualify.

The Democrats just need to hear more calls from voters. Call or write to the House Rep from where you grew up and the one from where you're living now 202-224-3121.

While you're at it, mention domestic spying.

President Bush has acknowledged authorizing surveillance- without a court order- of communications between people abroad and people in the United States. That alone violates the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Read Article 2, paragraph 2 of Nixon's Letters of Impeachment. Sound familiar?

HR 333 is for the impeachment of Dick Cheney over high crimes and misdemeanors committed during the buildup before the war with Iraq had officially begun way back when only wacky radicals were calling BS, and the buildup against Iran taking place now.

The president can fire as many US Attorney's as he wants, whenever he wants. Dems just have hearings to make it look like they are doing something besides passing no new legislation.

What a big waste of time don't you think?
