No, I'm merely a dyslexic typist Bill :-/ As many years of my posts clearly show :-)

It's only impeachable if Bush knew and couldn't justify his lack of response as executive privilege. I'd assume his handlers have a standing agreement of plausible deniability for that sort of thing.
Sure. Just like the last fuckhead in that office, who was nevertheless pursued with zeal and vigor (correctly so IMNSHO).
As far as prosecutable goes, it'd sure be fun to watch, unless of course there's another runaway bride or dead puppy or somebody burns a flag on July 4th or the comet blows up real good or whatever else it takes to distract the public for 15 minutes.
I personally think that O'Conner's resignation will be the distractant. Maybe amplified by a Gonzalez nomination. -- Yours, J.A.
