Thanks For Nothing
Here's the headline: "Al Gore against any attempt to impeach Bush." For a second I thought he was being sensible, but a better headline would be "Gore regrets it's not possible to impeach Bush."
Basically, he says there's simply not enough time or consensus to do the deed. In other words, it's a great idea, but Congress couldn't pull it off.
What he should have said is Bush hasn't committed any impeachable acts, and it would be a sad day when we start impeaching people just because of political disagreement.

Impeachable offense is whatever the right number of senators and representative say it is (Gerald Ford). Given the fact the fact that the country was paralyzed in the lated 90s to address te national crisis of....... Intern Fucking, I understand the willingness of the other party to consider it especially in light of a costly and unpopular and largely unsuccessful war. Regardless, it would be political disaster to pursue an impeachment at this point in the cycle over a political differences (abuse of power would be another issue). Al is just being a good politician- aying something which energizes his base but with no effort to implement it (kind of like Reagan on Christian Right issues)
