American or Fascist? Which side is your news organization on? Does Fascism deserve "balanced coverage" - Look at this historically.

The House Judiciary Committee's Democratic staff recently released a report concluding that Bush "misled Congress and the American people regarding the decision to go to war with Iraq." And the 273-page minority report goes on to conclude that "there is a prima facia case" that "the President, Vice President and members of the Bush administration violated a number of federal laws, including 1) Committing a Fraud against the United States; 2) Making False Statements to Congress; 3) The War Powers Resolution, 4) Misuse of Government Funds; 5) federal laws and international treaties prohibiting torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and punishment; 6) federal laws concerning retaliating against witnesses and other individuals, and 7) federal laws concerning leakings and other misuses of intelligence."
It's true that as long as Republicans are in control, members of Congress are no more likely to impeach Bush than they are to vote themselves a pay cut. But I'm predicting that this impeachment talk won't go away in the new year. The coming weeks will likely bring more bad news for the Republican Party, and if the Democrats take control of Congress in 2006 — a prospect that is becoming less implausible — the president could find himself in deeper doo doo than his daddy ever dreamed of.
The whole business almost makes me nostalgic for the Clinton impeachment, which now seems as quaint as the Geneva Convention: a relic of a happier, more innocent time in American history, a time when we fretted about secret tape recordings made by Linda Tripp instead of secret recordings made by the NSA.
