Like Bob said "impeachment is in the air", it's everywhere. It's in DC, and on the TV. It's in the news and on the blogs. It's in state legislatures and cities and towns across this land. And everywhere you go it's on the minds and flowing off the lips of Americans from coast to coast. Including at least three Presidential candidates (so far) - Dennis Kucinich, Chuck Hagel and Chris Dodd. Wolfie and Cafferty on CNN, plus 'Bow-tie Boy' Tucker Carlson with John Bonifaz on MSNBC, and Steven Colbert on the Colbert report... (more)

Certificate of Ownership: 110th Congress Buys the War by stacybannerman Saturday 24 March 2007
Busy week here on the Hill, and I’m sure you know that the 110th Congress just bought the war in Iraq. On Monday, the 19th, the fourth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, Military Families Speak Out held a press conference on the steps of the Cannon House building. We unveiled the Certificate of Ownership, complete with warranty – the brainchild of MFSO member Tammara Rosenleaf, who stayed with me and is planning to return in April.

I knew three weeks ago this wasn't going to turn out well when I saw the WaPo piece "House Democrats seek more war funds than Bush". It just didn't bode... All these machinations to avoid Democrats "owning" Bush's war, as the DLC insiders have warned them if they cut off funding or demand time-lines for withdraw. Well, guess what? If they give war criminal Bush and gang this $100+ BILLION, as well as the reported additional $140 BILLION for next year, they'll own the Iraq War lock, stock, and barrel....

Why Cheney Lost It When Joe Wilson Spoke Out By Ray McGovern
Testimony at the Libby trial showed a vice president obsessed with retaliating against former ambassador Joseph Wilson for writing, in the New York Times op-ed section on July 6, 2003, that intelligence had been "twisted" to justify attacking Iraq. How to explain why the normally stoic, phlegmatic Cheney went off the deep end?... (more)

(more Olbermann coverage of the Libby Verdict)

Libby Verdict Puts Focus on White House - WASHINGTON (AP) - Campaigning in 2000, George Bush promised he would swear on the Bible to restore honor and dignity to a sullied White House and give it "one heck of scrubbing." The conviction of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby gave the White House a scrubbing - but not the one Bush had in mind. The case laid bare the inner workings of a presidency under siege and the secretive world of Vice President Dick Cheney. It showed the lengths to which Cheney went in early summer 1973 to discredit administration critic Joseph Wilson. The former ambassador's assertions had cast doubt on the administration's justification for having taken the country to war. And the Libby case showed the president assisting Cheney in the leaked attacks on Wilson.... (more)
