Premise: George W. Bush has succeeded in doing things that warrant investigations with an eye toward impeachment proceedings.
Hurdle: Thanks in large part to . . .
1) the freaks who sought to impeach Bill Clinton, and the act of oral sex they settled upon to use as the "tool" to make it happen
2) the breathtaking absurdity of Bush's presidential activities (i.e. falsely premised war, signing statement mania, illegal wire-tapping, outing CIA operatives)
3) the tabloid-like state of the once sober and thoughtful mainstream news media
Impeachment has become a laughing-stock! Any mention of impeachment or impeachable offenses instantly gets filed under "fringe-worthy." The stuff of deranged maniacal twits.
But I am here to say that impeachment deserves better. Impeachment deserves a top-notch publicist. Someone, or some agency, that can get impeachment back on to the A-list.

Get ready VH-1, impeachment is back!
