Come with us now to those thrilling days of yesterday

When a mere missile strike managed to effectively eliminate Iraq's capacity to manufacture weapons of mass destruction and the strongest polling of all supporting Clinton's impeachment occurred. I give you very early 1999:

Almost two-thirds of Americans said they approve of the way President Clinton is handling his job. A similar number in the CBS poll said they would favor continuing air strikes until Saddam Hussein is removed from power as Iraq's president.

Clinton has seen in recent weeks a slight erosion in his poll numbers on the impeachment question, with the number supporting impeachment rising from about three in 10 in some polls to about four in 10.

Remember that Clinton impeachment thing? I seem to remember a lot of polling and news reports about that whole thing.

Now let us look at January 2006 and something given less coverage than the annual wackjob attempt to smear a Democratic veteran, the fact that more people support the impeachment of George W. Bush than ever supported the consistently unpopular notion of impeaching Bill Clinton.

By a margin of 52% to 43%, Americans want Congress to consider impeaching President Bush if he wiretapped American citizens without a judge's approval, according to a new poll commissioned by AfterDowningStreet.org, a grassroots coalition that supports a Congressional investigation of President Bush's decision to invade Iraq in 2003.

The poll was conducted by Zogby International, the highly-regarded non-partisan polling company. The poll interviewed 1,216 U.S. adults from January 9-12.
The poll found that 52% agreed with the statement:

"If President Bush wiretapped American citizens without the approval of a judge, do you agree or disagree that Congress should consider holding him accountable through impeachment."

43% disagreed, and 6% said they didn't know or declined to answer. The poll has a +/-2.9% margin of error.

Despite the clear majority of citizens wanting Congress to consider impeachment, major media outlets ignore this.

Because spying on citizens in direct violation is not nearly as interesting as getting blowjobs...which somehow managed to be unmentioned completely in the Constitution. Despite the ironic, underreported and failed effort of Alexander Hamilton to include a "blowjobs are 3/5ths of actual sex" clause.
