Those Whom The Gods Would Destroy...

In a quick spot of reading during lunch, I noticed that Naderite Democrats are contemplating the impeachment of Bush, and some of the usual suspects are granting a ringing endorsement of the tactic. (Hat tip to the Conspiracy.)

I can only think that the Gods of Irony are smiling upon me.

Having seen (to butcher a phrase) the best minds of my generation in the Republican Party driven mad by a semen-stained dress, I can only hope that the Democrats go down their own path to echo-chambered self-destruction. Last time I could only get caught up in the excitement and then mourn at the lost opportunities for the conservative movement. This time I can break out the popcorn.

Howard Dean, Amnesty International, Ralph Nader... I'm not sure I understand this. George Bush is about the least conservative conservative in ages (just as Clinton was mostly a centrist). But whatever the cause, it sure is fun to watch.

George Bush is about the least conservative conservative in ages .... The kind of assertion that usually has some argument marshalled behind it. Frankly, when I compare Nixon's Clean Air Act to Bush's Clear Skies Initiative, and remember even the slightest thing about Ford and GHW Bush, I find this a little non-obvious. Just spending a lot of money that you don't have doesn't make someone a liberal. And even if it did, it wouldn't be good grounds to argue that Amnesty International and Howard Dean (who, ahem, balanced all his state budgets) should like him.
