Not serious enough for impeachment, SL. If it was a blow job in the oval office, on the other hand….

Harpers Magazine ran a cover story entitled, The case for impeachment: Why we can no longer afford George W. Bush almost exactly a year ago (March, 2006, subscribers only) It was out-going editor Lewis Lapham’s parting shot at an administration that he had lost all respect for. Why: lying to the U.S. Congress and the people, undermining the U.S. Constitution, sending Americans to war based on falsified intelligence and fabricated threat, violations of international conventions, possible war crimes, and so on.

The argument was that the actions by the Bush administration had increased the risk to Americans at home and abroad, more than before the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
