CounterPunch: "America's Best Political Newsletter": "Bush is reeling and having to actually face bracing questions from the media. A wide range of the latest polls show an average Bush disapproval/approval of 37.7% to 57.4%. Various on-line Impeachment polls are lopsided in favor. A recent MSNBC poll with over a quarter million votes is running 86% in favor of Impeachment.
It's refreshing to see Bush and company squirm as they deal with it all. Take the Plame leak. Do they really believe that anyone will fall for the 'it wasn't really Classified, cuz the prez can override that at will' defense? After all this time of stonewalling? That's the best they can come up with? Do they think no one remembers Bush's indignant press conference of October 6, 2003? He boldly broke off, 'And if this helps stop leaks, this investigation in finding the truth, it'll not only hold someone to account who should not have leaked --- and this is a serious charge, by the way. We're talking about a criminal action. But also hopefully we'll help send a clear signal we expect other leaks to stop as well.'
Now it's not a criminal action because Bush himself 'authorized' it? As a means of getting back at a political critic who told the truth about the same Iraq/Niger uranium claim that Bush lied about? A falsehood used to justify an illegal war. Wow! Bush has some 'splainin' to do. Gu"
