I Said It Was A Bad Idea at the Time
But even if I’d had a blog back then, it’s not like the House Republicans would have listened to me. Trying to impeach Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky “scandal” was a horribly stupid mistake, and one of the major reasons I got sick of the Republican party in the 90’s. It didn’t accomplish anythinge except polarize politics even worse than they already were, and set the precedent that any transgression, no matter how trivial in the broader sense of things, could be seized upon by either party to decapitate the other, should it control the White House.
All it did was set the stage for this crap. It’s kind of hard to blame the Dems for Bush Derangement Syndrome when it really should be named “The Other Party Controls The White House Syndrome.”
Hey, Republicans? Don’t blame me. You started it.

As they say on the Houston Democrats website,
This is a non-partisan event.
Heh.
I wish they posted more. That blog would definitely get my vote on the Houston Press’ Best Blog competition. So entertaining!

Actually, the part of it that bothers me the most is “regime change (non-violent, of course).”
Of course.
So why is it necessary to say so? I really get vibes of “don’t think about a pink elephant” every time I read that.
