FIDDLING TO IMPEACH, WHILE ECONOMY BURNS

THE ISSUE: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to allow hearings to impeach President Bush.

Is it any wonder that Congress has such low approval ratings (“Impeachment Kabuki,” Editorial, July 14)?

While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi fiddles with the idea of holding impeachment hearings, without any intention of bringing it to a vote, the United States continues to burn with foreclosures and astronomical gas prices.

Congress needs a serious reality check.

I am astounded by the total incompetence of this Democratic-controlled Congress.

We are waging a war against terrorism, banks are failing and gas prices are affecting the economy, but all this moronic Congress can think about is hearings about an impeachment that will go nowhere.

The hatred of President Bush is beyond precedent. How do these incompetent people get elected term after term?

This crew can star in a remake of “It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.”

Pelosi will allow hearings on a Bush impeachment? What brillliance this useless speaker unashamedly displays, almost on a daily basis.

Has anyone noticed how far our economy has declined since the do-nothing Democrats became the majority in Congress?

Heaven forbid Congress waste time on impeachment.

Bush and Vice President Cheney already should have been impeached for appointing a low-level politician with no qualifications to head a life-and-death agency – FEMA.

That was far worse than anything President Bill Clinton did.
