Faux fear and real fear

What the Republicans are rabble-rousing about is the possibility that crazy liberals want to impeach the President. What they're covering up is their fear that what Democrats actually want is some oversight of how our nation is being run.

Because heaven forbid Americans should be reminded that Democrats with subpoena power will investigate gas prices, no-bid contracts, billions missing in Iraq, the stifling of science at the FDA and the EPA, secret and ineffective surveillance programs, torture at detention camps, innocents stranded at Gitmo, Big Pharma, and more.

Bingo. W is just a figurehead for everything that's being mismanaged at the top these days, not least the lapsed responsibility of the legislative branch.
