Pelosi has tried to remove impeachment from the table, but it ain't goin' away

no, it ain't goin' away, nor should it... to hideously paraphrase the iran discussion, when a gang of criminals has taken over the executive branch of our government, all options for getting rid of them MUST be ON the table...

The impeachment threat is real, argues The Nation's John Nichols, as shown by talk show pundits who have begun to discuss it seriously.

"Former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough had me on his MSNBC show Monday night to talk about impeachment," Nichols writes. "It was smart, civil discussion that treated the prospect of impeaching the president as a serious matter."

"No, Scarborough is not jumping on the impeachment bandwagon," Nichols adds. "He is simply treating the prospect seriously, as did CNN's Wolf Blitzer earlier in the day."

According to Nichols, "We are nearing an impeachment moment."

"The Alberto Gonzales scandal, the under-covered but very real controversy involving abuses of the Patriot Act and the president's increasingly belligerent refusals to treat Congress as a co-equal branch of government are putting the discussion of presidential accountability onto the table from which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has tried to remove it," Nichols writes.

my daily prayer: a revelation so staggering in its scope and illegality that the bush administration's house of cards will come tumbling down, thus obviating the need for a horribly painful, long and drawn-out impeachment process...
