I could probably think of thousands of more pointless exercises that 
take place everyday.
I don't think anything that gets the idea of impeaching Bush and/or 
Cheney and others into the public eye is a waste of time.
These fucks are criminals, more so than most in their positions, and any 
attempt to highlight that fact is welcome.
I guess we could just pretend everything they've done is just fine, even 
by the crappy standards of previous US leaders.
The folks who brought us the huge waste of time that was the Clinton 
impeachment should be made to choke on
the impeachment of Bush.
