And Mike Meyer, a US Citizen says "Yes" to IMPEACHMENT. (I guess I'll call my kin in ND and ask them "What the Hell")

The expression on the Congressman's face the moment the Constitution is brought up...

There are microcosms and then there are microcosms.

Indeed. Maybe if Nixon's ass actually got thrown in jail it would have set the proper precedent.

Continue to hold hearings . . . and put out more flags.

Is it possible to link to the transcript alone? The existing link, to RNN video, crashes my feeble dialup.

The only thing Dorgan and his fellow traitorous assholes know about "accountability" is they don't have to worry about it.

Dorgan looked very proud of himself to use the if-Bush-was-impeached-Cheney-would-be-president defense; less so when Sam Husseini points out that Dems didn't support impeaching Cheney, either.

Nice work, Sam.

Yeah, The Serious Reality-Based People have more pressing matters to attend to. Like making sure their telecom buddies come out okay, tirelessly building a false case for bombing Tehran, and surfing the tidal wave of home foreclosures with their Wall Street pals (queue Dick Dale).

And just think: This only the trailer. The Audacity of Eternal False Hope. Coming soon to a theater of operations near you. (Don't be fooled by the Fellini-esque title: it's all Tony Scott.)
