Top N.M. Dems don't join impeach call

State Democratic Party officials say their call to impeach President Bush is not realistic.

They just want to bring attention to what they consider egregious abuses of power, including the administration's authorization of wiretaps without warrants.

But two prominent state Democrats - Attorney General Patricia Madrid and U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman - have distanced themselves from last weekend's vote in Albuquerque.

Madrid, trying to oust Republican U.S. Rep. Heather Wilson of Albuquerque, said in a statement today she wasn't present when the vote was taken Saturday. She called the action "premature."

...

Party Chairman John Wertheim said today the caution expressed by Madrid and Bingaman doesn't represent a split between the party and its high-profile elected officials.

1. Premature - yeah let's give Botch the Medal of Freedom and look

at impeachment in December of 2008.

2. Fine

Impeachment may not be realistic, but censure sure is. How 'bout them apples? I really hate candy-ass Dems who won't stand up for what's right.
