The Black Republican

A masterful recitation of political arrogance in today's Wall Street Journal editorial.

Mr. Feingold [has done a] public service in floating his "censure" gambit now. He's doing voters a favor by telling them before November's election just how Democrats intend to treat a wartime President if they take power.

Not only do they want to block his policies, they also plan to rebuke and embarrass him in front of the world and America's enemies. And they want to do so not because there is a smidgen of evidence that he's abused his office or lied under oath, but because they think he's been too energetic in using his powers to defend America. By all means, let's have this impeachment debate before the election, so voters can know what's really at stake.

How self-deluded can the Democrats be, that they give Republicans almost nine months to parade these "charges" in front of the voters who re-elected a president to conduct a war in their defense, so they can know exactly what a Democrat-run House of Representatives will be doing after the American people leave the voting booth?

Don't listen to the mainstream media, and don't pay any attention to those silly, Democrat-heavy, manufactured poll numbers. The Democrats just lost the 2006 elections in a landslide.

UPDATE: James Taranto has labeled this Dana Milbank column about Democrat consternation, "hilarious". I don't think that word does justice to the level of my glee.
