I can't wait

It seems that old President Bush--father of the current occupant of the White House--is concerned about what those terrible Democrats will do to his boy after they take over Congress in January (this assumes a Democratic takeover of at least one house of Congress, but a takeover of the House of Representatives seems pretty well assured).

As Paul Krugman writes in his column in the New York Times this morning (I can't link because you can read it by subscription only), the Democrats are starting to be pressured by the Kumbaya crowd that they must not be vindictive, or partisan, or do anything really differerent than is being done now. Krugman urges Democrats, for the good of the country, not to surrender to this sort of Democratic Leadership Council defeatism. I second that.

There won't be an impeachment--that would just give us Cheney as President. But the nation needs and wants to know what really happened during Bush Administration. Why we really went to war with Iraq. Why the Hurricane Katrina response was so bungled. The list is endless, and once Democrats have control of the Congressional committees and their subpoena power, they can go to town and ensure that George W. Bush is thoroughly discredited for all time. I, for one, hope they kick ass.
