But try to at least tell good lies, Sarah. Try to tell lies that take more than five minutes to prove false. It'll be more effective that way.

The House has adjourned until January. It would never have worked anyway, since the Democrat's majority in the Senate was dependent on Joe Lieberman--and if W was impeached and not convicted, he would have been found innocent--and exonerated. I never understood the call myself. But now it really is off the table. All that's left is the landslide--and the criminal prosecutions of private citizens George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.

She is hurting herself politically now,and in the future. Nothing is wrong about being stubborn,if one is right, but to be stubborn while being wrong is madness . She is also showing disrespect to the public who read the findings and in total disageement with her.
