We're America! Why should we torture? We should just hire one of our ultra wealthy pharmaceutical companies to develop a fool proof truth serum!

"Now there is a new biography of President Bush out, have you heard this? Where it says the president cries a lot. The president said, 'I do tears.' So lets see, he's impulsive, he's stubborn, he's weepy. Sorry Hillary, apparently we already have our first female president." --Bill Maher

Subject: Pelosi & Impeachment

I've come to the conclusion that the reason Nancy Pelosi won't Impeach or
pull out of the war is that the only economy we have left is the war economy.
If they stopped the war we would go into a Depression. The job market is
closing up and people are scared. It is the only thing that makes sense to me.
Without the war - what do we have to generate jobs? We need the alternative energy
job market to open up but that will never happen under Bush.

Susan

Either that or she doesn't want to be the first female House Speaker to impeach a president, and lose. She doesn't have enough votes anyway.
