This is an update of sorts to the post, "These boots are made for walkin'."The following is from a Sam Stein article on The Huffington Post, dated May 21, 2008. The article is titled "Chuck Hagel Takes on McCain, Repeatedly Praises Obama."
Chuck Hagel is a Republican Senator from Nebraska. He serves on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Stein says that "Hagel, speaking to a small gathering at the residence of the Italian ambassador, took umbrage with several positions taken by the McCain campaign, including the Arizona Senator's criticism of Obama for pledging to engage with Iran. Engagement is not, and should not be confused for, capitulation, he argued."
More importantly, however is what Hagel said when asked to comment about stories that Bush and company were "ginning up the possibility of war with Iran." Hagel "raised the specter of impeachment."
"'You've got the power of impeachment, now that is a very defined measure if you are willing to bring charges against the president at all. You can't just say I disagree with him, let's impeach him,' said Hagel. An attack on Iran without Congress' consent, he added, 'would bring with it... outstanding political consequences, including for the Republican Party.'"
Impeachment. It could and should happen, no matter what the cowBOY decides to do with Iran. If any president ever committed "high crimes and misdemeanors," it is this president! Then a war crimes trial should follow.

It ain't gonna happen. Bush has not indulged in any sex with anyone but Laura, as far as we know. There is no other grounds for impeachment anymore.
