Atrios outs David Broder who calls for presidential accountability - in 1993!

atrios unearths a david broder column from 3 january 1993... it's as good a find as anyone has made in quite some time, and, given the author, couldn't be more timely... go read it in full here...

a teaser...

Until this society is prepared to condemn and to shun those who abuse their governmental authority, there is no point in having special prosecutors or others trying to squeeze these cases through the criminal justice system.

We don't need more convictions and pardons of government officials. We need scorn and shame for those who violate their oaths of office. And that is a penalty that the American people -- and only the American people -- can invoke.

i think there's quite a few of us who would agree with mr. broder...
