Begging for Impeachment

摘要

At 10:02 on friday evening, July 25, I received the following personal message from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee: "The impeachment of president obama is now a real possibility." The capital letters were in red. This was a blast email, of course, sent to everyone on the Democratic Party's fundraising list, and also to political journalists. It referred to some very calculated remarks that White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer had made earlier that day about impeachment: "I think Speaker Boehner, by going down the path of this lawsuit [against the President], has opened the door to Republicans possibly considering impeachment at some point in the future."
