Usually, the bloviating on Sunday morning talk shows is uninspiring enough that sleeping in seems the better option. Today was one of the days when I woke up and found I should have gotten up early after all. Senator Russ Feingold announced on George Stephanopolis' show that he will be introducing a resolution to censure President Bush.
Although a censure of Bush would definitely gladden my heart, I found myself wondering more about the timing than anything else. Why now? Is it just to put an issue on the table for the fall elections, or is this part of a plan to raise his profile for 2008? Or is something else going on?
It might also be that the nose counts have been done behind the scenes and the Democrats have determined that they might actually be able to push through a censure whereas impeachment doesn't even remotely have a chance.
