MADDOW: They lied. Can we prosecute yet?

You asked why they never brought Impeachment proceedings against this very corrupt administration. Well, Here is my opinion as to why. On the top of the list would be fear. They fear loosing the positions they both ow hold. Pelosi as the leader of the House and Reid as the leader in the Senate. After many years of republican control, these two were just plain afraid to loose the small majority they have now garnered. What they failed to realize was that a large number of the American people would have like to see this administration held to account for their lies and folly. By "taking impeachment off the table" as they have said from their first days in their new positions of control, they have just angered many of those that got them their new jobs. Next, they claimed that it would distract from getting any real work done. Well, that also is a line of crap, as they have not really had any luck getting any real major legislation done. If they had not employed some of the same heavy handed tactics that the former republican majority had used, nothing would have gotten done at all. They might have well used this time to bring the Bush / Chaney criminal team to justice then wasting the time with bills that were going to be Vetoed by the president with no hope of an over-ride vote.

On the liberal media talk show hosts, they are as complicit as the rest. Afraid to call their own to account, they sit and make excuses for the actions taken. Well, most do. There are still a good number of straight talking radio hosts that call them like they are regardless of party affiliation. That is what we need more of. The media should be on the side of the people, not the politicians.
