To do it legally would involve amending our Constitution. Given that the Democrats now control Congress, that's a non-starter (unless they want to give Bill Clinton the chance for a comeback, that is!).

Given George W's low approval rating, even his own party is not very pleased with him. If this were the UK, he'd have been forced from office some time back byhis own party.

Now, entwisi, play nicely! We Americans are hardly alone in having some issues in our leadership.

I noticed some pretty harsh headlines about an alleged "pounds for honours" scandal.

I will admit that Mr. Bush's actions bring shame our our country, IMHO. But then, his administration has never shown much respect for anyone who fails to back their policies, whether those dissenters are at home or abroad. Remeber that "Old Europe" comment that so annoyed the Germans and French? Not only was it an insult to allies, but it was doubly stupid as it was unnecessary as well.
