Gutless Wonder

According to various sources, Sen. Nancy Pelosi has told the Democratic Caucus that she has
"no interest" in pursuing the impeachment of President Bush should the Democrats retake Congress. According to Pelosi's spokesperson, this is a canny tactical move designed to blunt any assertion that a Democratic Congress would create a fuss in an already befuddled country. Bullshit. Pelosi's alleged cleverness only reinforces with the public the image of the Democrats as unable or unwilling to do the right thing. The fact that Pelosi, as an elected official, thinks that she can turn away from an Administration whose incompetence and arrogance have cost countless lives, billions of dollars, and untold goodwill reinforces with the public the image of politicians as amoral and craven.
