Poltical Animal may have changed hands — Ed Kilgore replaced Steve Benen — but it’s still essential reading. For example, the pointer to this amazing interview of GOP ur-lord Grover Norquist in which Norqist looks ahead happily to the impeachment — yes, impeachment — of President Obama in 2014 if he wins a second term.

Yalies For the Impeachment of Bush and Cheney
Two of my college classmates, Ralph Lopez and Mark Konick, have set up a new web site, Yalies for the Impeachment of George Bush and Richard Cheney.
The site proclaims,
With great privilege comes great responsibility
If not us, who? If not now, when?
And those are indeed good questions.
Their full manifesto is reproduced below.

Lies, Lies, Lies
Here’s a tip for Bush Administration cronies: if you are going to lie under oath, on the record, with a video camera in your face, don’t lie about something for which there is documentary evidence directly contradicting your statements. It makes you look unprepared, panicked and sloppy.
Impeach Gonzales
- Daschle Calls Abu a Liar
- Depends On What The Definition Of Program Is
- Rep. Harman: White House Never Sought Approval For ‘Other Intelligence Activities’
- Contempt For Gonzales
- Alberto “Fredo” Gonzales — So What is Bush Saying?
- Impeach him, charge him with perjury, hold him in contempt … just do something
- Impeach Abu Already
It's unanimous.
