The Chicago Tribune, for example, called for Bill Clinton's resignation in a September 15, 1998, editorial. One reason the Tribune gave was that Clinton's statements about the Monica Lewinsky matter would make it difficult to trust him in the future: "Who will know when he's telling the truth and when he's not, whether he's being sincere or play-acting, whether his word is his bond or just another artful dodge?"

Re: Carol Lam, I had posted this article yesterday from the local San Diego paper.
Even her opponents can't figure out why she's being asked to leave.
Some say it may have something to do with her lack of prosecutions of illegal aliens but that sounds like bullshit.
“What do they want her to do, lock up Mexico?” said Mario Conte, former chief of Federal Defenders of San Diego Inc. Conte, now a professor at California Western School of Law in downtown San Diego, said every prosecutor walks a tightrope.
I think it may have more to do with the fact that federal prosecutors don't need to go through a confirmation process if they are replacing one that has left office due to dismissal or some other reason because of a provision in the Patriot Act.
In other words it's a chance for Cuckoo Bananas to stack the prosecutors offices across the country with whack job lackeys. Rachel Maddow said the other day that several federal prosecutors have been asked to step down.

Tena, got ice yet? I am seeing just a bit of buildup here, think I better not try a quick trip out on the do-it-yourself-ice-clearing roads.
Seems pretty friggin' convenient to me. AJ in DC over at Americablog postulated recently that the surge is coming at a time when violence in Iraq tends to go down and if it does as it's expected to, the surge will be timed for the downgrade of violence and as a direct effect, injuries/attacks should go down and progress should go, unhindered by those attacks.
Very easy for Iraqi progress to be highlighted in that scenario.
"Hey look! Attacks are down and Iraqis are patrolling the streets again. The surge worked! Hooray, we can all go home now!"
If all goes as planned, we'll begin to "pullout" but of course we won't be going far as this will save the presidency in terms of the Iraq quagmire just as we're getting ready to go into Iran.

Over at Kos, there is a beautiful statement from Jim Webb
I also want to say something about my longtime friend, Senator McCain's comments when he was talking about the consequences of pulling out of Iraq and in your statement, Secretary Gates, you list some of these as an emboldened and strengthened Iran, a base of operations for jihadist networks in the heart of the Middle East, an undermining of the credibility of the United States. In many ways, quite frankly, those have been the results of the invasion and occupation. There's really nothing that's occurred since the invasion and occupation that was not predictable and in fact, most of it was predicted. It was predicted in many cases by people with long backgrounds in national security...and in many cases there were people who saw their military careers destroyed and who were personally demeaned by people who opposed them on the issues, including members of this administration. And they are people in my judgment, who will be remembered in history as having had a moral conscience.

Are you getting any of the BC Euro-fresh hothouse grown ones there? I noticed last week that we were starting to get the ones out of their Southern AZ houses into the stores. They're not bad.
My favorite part of Webb's statement -

The dirty fucking hippies were right!
Jeffraham--one thing about sociopaths: they don't feel anguish and regret. I think those conditions are necessary for someone to be suicidal.
Bush needs to be driven from office, by any means necessary. (Legal ones).
I watched that statement by Webb live. He also said that look, not everyone solider there supports the war, so stop saying it.

I still think he wouldn't.
Because he's got that mindset that he is just RIGHT. And so the courts would find him so (or he'd get a Ford-pardon).
There is no WAY that Bush would ever do an honor suicide.
I mean, really.
He's staying to the bitter end and the more people are against him the more messianic he will become.
Which is, in itself, an even scarier prospect.

If cukes remain ripe and firm for more than four hours, apply balsamic vinegar.

Everyone says suicide is cowardly, but I don't think Bush would have the nerve to kill himself.
Accidentally OD, maybe.
McCain wants to talk about consequences of getting out, rather than consequences for going in. Call it a misdirection play. Webb bit.

I think there's a potential for wanting to avoid impeachment, even.
However, I'd rather see him impeached and fired.

watertiger - he's a sniveling little shit and he's more likely to just get drunk.
Tony Blair has turned the blame for his disastrous military campaigns in the Middle East on anti-war dissidents and the media.
Warning it would take the West another 20 years to defeat Islamic terrorism, the Prime Minister used a wide-ranging "swansong" lecture on defence to denounce critics and the media who have been a thorn in his side since the invasion of Iraq.
He also dismissed those - including many defence chiefs - who claimed the invasion of Iraq and its aftermath had fuelled insurgents and terrorism.
The Prime Minister rejected as "ludicrous" the notion that removing two dictatorships in Afghanistan and Iraq and replacing them with a UN-backed process to democracy had made Britain a greater target for international terrorism.
However, Mr Blair's speech last night provoked widespread criticism from MPs and military chiefs.

Yup. I just wrote more about this on NTodd's, I mean my blog.
People keep ascribing some sort of rationality to Bush that we have never seen -- and are never going to see.

Bush certainly doesn't have the courage to do an honor suicide so instead he's doing an honor bender.

Word, that.
I'm still on the fence about the bravery/cowardice of suicide, myself.
But I have the strong feeling that whatever choice Bush makes would be because he a cowardly motherfucking piece of shit.
Morning, everyone.

How very predictable. Boy, did he back the wrong horse. To think I used to admire him.

Is that where the orange crop is that they're so worried about?
The real question is: what qualifies as "working"?
Interesting how as soon as it became obvious no one wants to go along with this escalation, Gates pipes up and says, "Oh yeah, and if it works we can start doing what you all really want." Face it, they pulled that one out of their asses once it dawned on them that no one's buying.
As if they have the slightest intention of drawing down troops, regardless of whether the plan works.
Isn't this the same Gates who, working for the "bowel" movement conservatives and the CIA, stabbed President Jimmy Carter and the 52 Americans held hostage in Iran back in 1979, by going behind Carter's back to cut a deal with the Iranians to release the hostages only after President Carter left office?
Thus, as Reagan was being sworn in, the hostages were released in January 1980. And as per the agreement between the "bowel" movement conservatives and the Iranians, the Reagan administration immediately started shipping arms to Teheran.
As far as today goes, our country and the White House need an enema...to flush out all the "bowel" movement conservatives...before they do anymore damage to our democracy.
