This story will probably not have a happy ending.

Even if we take back the House, impeachment proceedings couldn't start
until next year at the earliest. Even then, it will be Clinton in reverse,
with the sole, though major, difference being that Bush would be impeached
on legitimate constitutional grounds. One thing would stay the same, though:
there is no way two thirds of the Senate would vote for conviction and removal
from office.

The only way Bush is out of there before January 20, 2009 is if he resigns.
If that should happen, we had better hope and pray to whatever higher powers
we believe in that Cheney resigns with or before him, or else it's president
Cheney for real, not just behind the scenes like now.
