" Jack Kingston of Georgia used to be  your run-of-the-mill stalwart of the Silly Party. Now, though, he&amp;#039;s getting a little jumped-up, and he&amp;#039;s running for the Senate and, well, he&amp;#039;s decided to, you know, go there. In an interview with Aaron McCready, a metro Atlanta resident who hosts his own Internet-based talk show (Ed Note: Already we have gone too far upriver ever to return), it went down like this: Kingston: I do think that the move by John Boehner in terms of suing the president is the right step...I think he&amp;#039;s done plenty wrong for a lawsuit. Not a day goes by when people don&amp;#039;t talk to us about impeachment. I don&amp;#039;t know what rises to that level yet, but I know that there&amp;#039;s a mounting frustration that a lot of people are getting to and I think Congress is going to start looking at it very seriously. Not to disagree with Jay Bookman too strenuously, but the Republicans &amp;quot;legitimized impeachment&amp;quot; as a tool of partisan politics in 1998. People talked about impeaching Bill Clinton for years; aides to Tom Delay were openly telling reporters in Washington, after the Republican sweep in the 1994 midterms, that they could impeach Clinton any time they wanted. Ann Coulter wrote a book arguing that impeachment was essentially a political act that a congressional majority could undertake just because they had the votes to do so. Bob Barr wrote a book advocating Clinton&amp;#039;s impeachment long before anyone had ever heard of Monica Lewinsky. The fact is that impeachment -- or to be more precise, the threat of impeachment -- was a political tactic already at hand to the Republicans any time they wanted to use it. Criminalizing the simple election of a Democratic president was a club that was already in the bag. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
