RudePundit's not everyone's cup of tea, but his series on impeachment this week is well worth a read.
From the final installment:
... let's get this straight, Republicans made sure that we moved into a fucked-up Never-Neverland of political gamesmanship, creating brave new worlds of bullshit power plays guaranteed to appeal to the basest of the base and alienate the majority of the nation in disgust. In recent history, the major invocations of impeachment prior to Bill Clinton were based on very real, nation-damaging crimes: Nixon's cover-up and abuses of power (by the way, read the Articles of Impeachment against Nixon - pussy stuff compared to what could be brought against Bush) and Ronald Reagan for the Iran-Contra debacle (of course, Reagan had descended into Alzheimer's dementia and was, for all intents and purposes, a pull-string talking Cabbage Patch Kid by the time impeachment was discussed).
In 1998, Republicans rammed through Articles of Impeachment against Bill Clinton, which, no matter what way you read it, say, "He lied about the fucking and tried to get others to lie about the fucking," thus dragging the nation into the right wing's bizarro fixation on the ways in which cocks and cunts are used. What they did also was to throw the whole national equilibrium off, turning the federal government into a chaotic zone where anything and everything is possible.
...
So the United States is dragged through the Clinton impeachment, eye-rolling the whole time, like children embarassed by how square their parents are. But Republicans aren't done, by any stretch, in fucking with the fabric of reality. We get to 2000 and all of a sudden we have frat boy riots trying to stop ballot counting, the sight of Republicans acting like they're a bunch of male chimps with hard-ons trying to fuck the last female chimp in heat, as if the country could crumble into a pile of shit and rubble if we waited a month or two to see who was really President. And, again, the public is watching all of this, aghast, wondering when it all became like tequila night at the Southern Ladies Book Club meeting. Republicans created a nation where anything can happen and let disorder rule the land. For the most part, they've made that insanity work to their benefit. Until now.
In other words, to bottom line this fucker, anyone who thinks that the general public gives two shits if the nation is "dragged" into impeachment hearings and trials has had some big-time blinders on. Chaos is the law of the land, motherfuckers. Democrats ought to embrace its possibilities and effects, and promise to throw the nation into political turmoil.
