3 Quotes from William Rusher's
Get Ready for Impeachment

"The hatred that many Democrats feel toward George W. Bush is truly searing -- quite the equal, it is only fair to say, of the hatred many Republicans felt for Bill Clinton."

"Many Democratic partisans will, of course, regard this as tit-for-tat: a condign repayment for the Republicans' impeachment of Clinton."

"American voters, casting their ballots next November, will have to decide, among other things, just how much uglier they want American politics to get."

Personal Note: I also found the statement, "Nancy Pelosi... might well feel that a successful impeachment, even if followed by an unsuccessful trial in the Senate, would go far to restore the pre-Clinton balance between the parties," to be quite interesting. It would certainly fit with the 'equal-measure-of-hatred' model the Left has adopted for all things Bush, and goes a long way toward sealing the assertion that 'Democrats care only about pulling Bush down' in stone. It's petty. And it hurts our nation. And whether the Left realizes it or not, it hurts them as well, if not more so.

In regard to the first quotes mention of Republican hatred for Clinton, personally speaking, I harbor no hate toward Mr. Clinton... Disgust and embarrassment in full measures, but not hatred. He is, after all, a man, and subject to all the temptations, poor judgment, and baser impulses to which we are all subject. Did he deserve the Impeachment? Yes. Should he have been removed from office? I don't believe so-- and thankfully, the Senate rejected the notion --especially considering who we would have ended up with. The old analogy, "Out of the frying pan, into the fire," comes quickly to mind, and I don't even want to think about the aftermath of 9-11 under a Gore Presidency.

Consider also the love-fest this Christmas morning between Russert, Brokaw, and Koppel:

RUSSERT: And they were not questioning whether Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

BROKAW: No. No. No.

RUSSERT: That seemed to be a uniformly held belief.

BROKAW: Right. Yeah.

KOPPEL: Nor did the Clinton administration beforehand.

BROKAW: No.

KOPPEL: I mean, the only difference between the Clinton administration and the Bush administration was 9/11.

BROKAW: Right.

KOPPEL: If 9/11 had happened on Bill Clinton's watch, he would have gone into Iraq.

BROKAW: Yeah. Yeah.

On Clinton's watch? Which translates to Gore's watch? Judging by all the rumor and innuendo surrounding Clinton's shifty-ness, and brutal suppression of opposition, not to mention a fawning media, he might well have been pretty effective in Iraq. Or at least perceived as such. So, yes, I'm pretty thankful Bill wasn't thrown out of the Oval office. Democrats, I fear, will be far more vindictive should they take the House and Senate, which doesn't seem likely given their current reputation for spinelessness.
