everybody. Congress actually gets more truth than most, simply because they hold some purse strings."

However; the neo-cons are not going to let this stop their chants of "Impeach Pelosi!
Impeach Pelosi because....um, we approve of torture!
You see, this is where my understanding breaks down of the whole thing. I'm against torture, so from where I stand, if its true then its kind of a big deal. However, the GOP cheerleader brigade has been wholeheartedly behind every crazy thing done in the last 8 years, including waterboarding and sending suspected terrorists off to foreign countries to get their genitals split with scalpels. So, apart from the fact they are a bunch of frothing lunatics who hate Nancy Pelosi with the sort of disgust usually reserved for child molestors and people who talk in the theatre and did so well before these allegations came to light, I don't understand their motivation.

She is a Democrat in power... therefore ANY FOCUS on her in a bad light is good for them... or at least its good for them in the eyes of the 35% or so of Americans still too stupid to see through their complete shitstain of a political party.
