I'm not them - and I don't think red sox would make this argument necessarily given the statements he was making in response to my post yesterday about laying out the devil's advocate argument against impeachment - but I think much of it, particularly among politicians themselves is because the Clinton impeachment backfired politically and somehow they just assume that must mean any impeachment attempt is bad politically. It was a formative/major moment for many of them, especially in leadership positions since the age of Congress skews quite high.

Which ignores the comedy of incompetence that was the Clinton impeachment and the unique scenario around it which is totally not in play here. I've always stated that Nixon is the comparison point you want. I mean, the outcome is unlikely to be the same and I genuinely feel that if Nixon and Watergate happened in this era of Fox that Nixon may well have been able to survive it but in terms of political effects I still think that's the best comparison point we've got here.
