I've a tendency to agree with Todd Gitlin, et al, who think Bush and Cheney deserve impeachment but we shouldn't necessarily give it to them. Sort of.

Republicans are like uninvited guests. Their policies are the political equivalent of drinking all the liquor and making passes at the women. The Clinton impeachment was like crapping in the swimming pool. And then, they have the balls to complain how lame the party was.

My friends in the media act all disgusted, while secretly admiring the audacity of it. Their friends don't even bother with the pretense.

I fantasize about retaliating, but no matter how much they deserve it, I just can't bring myself to go crap in their pool. Even if I did, our so-called friends would think, "Oh. How. Original."
