A few things

By Avedon from the Sideshow

The House Judiciary Committee is having a hearing today on dealing with Dennis Kucinich's Articles of Impeachment of George Walker Bush and Richard Bruce Cheney. Kagro X has details. Perhaps you want to make yourself familiar with Committee Caller. After Downing Street plans to live-blog the hearing.

"Every single Democratic Senate challenger supports Net Neutrality" - Silent Patriot conveys some good news from Matt Stoller, who has been compiling statements from Dems: "I'm happy to report that every single Democratic challenger with more than $500k in cash on hand has announced their support for net neutrality. This is a milestone for the fight for internet freedom. I included statements reacting to this news from Senator Byron Dorgan, Speaker Pelosi, FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein, Google public policy director Alan Davidson, and Columbia Law Professor Tim Wu."

Thoreau on anti-regulation alarmism: "Anyway, I'm not here to argue in favor of regulations, just to observe that our ability to adapt to regulation (up to some level, of course) is similar to our ability to adapt to non-governmental factors in the marketplace. Indeed, this resilience of human behavior is one reason why regulators often fail to shape human behavior as much as they'd like." (Also: On the two foreigners we have running for president!)

The House Judiciary Committee is having a hearing today...

I suppose this FRist! mention is better late than never...

Rep. Steve King (R-IA): I don't think anybody in here can even say what Scooter Libby did.

Oooh! Oooh! I can, Mr. King!

He did exactly what your Republican friends accused Clinton of doing (only, Scooter had the privilege of actually being found guilty on 4 out of 5 federal felony counts): perjured himself.

And then your Republican friends impeached Bubba for as much.

And now you're opposed to impeachment.

My how the flips have flopped.

I guess I'll turn this thread into an HJC liveblog thread to quote all the Republican silliness..

So as to save myself loads of time, I'll just sum up all of the Republicans on the committee with a simple paraphrasing:

"The word impeachment scares me now. Please don't say it.
Wait, I just said it.
Ahhhhh!"
