OFF TO THE BAHAMAS!

Neal has run off to the Bahamas with Belinda and Royal for the AirTran Caribbean Classic Golf Tournament. So we're going to have some fun with the Nuze while they're gone...

THE IMPEACHMENT OF GEORGE W. BUSH


Blair & Cheney at 10 Downing Street

Democrats are a pretty angry lot these days. They've lost two presidential elections in a row, they haven't had control of the House of Representatives in over a decade, the Senate slipped through their fingers and voters canned Tom Daschle as they went even deeper in the electoral hole this past November. Demoralized doesn't even begin to describe it. So what's a liberal to do these days?

We're already seeing rumblings of the Next Big Thing for the Democratic Party. It's the I-word....impeachment. (See here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here) It makes sense, doesn't it? Democrats are still mad about the impeachment of Bill Clinton. They want a little revenge. So how are they going to do it? What evidence could they possibly have to even think about starting any such proceeding against George Bush?

What's making the rounds is a Downing Street memo from 2002 (10 Downing Street is the official prime minister's residence in Great Britain, for those who don't follow such things.) In this memo, which was drafted by a foreign policy aide to Tony Blair, it allegedly includes minutes from a July 2002 meeting where Tony Blair allegedly admitted that the Bush administration fixed Iraq intelligence in order to go to war. Oh boy...this is a doozy! It's the smoking gun....George Bush is doomed! Well, not really.

The memo apparently doesn't quote either Bush or Blair directly and lacks any sort of evidence supporting a cover up. But that doesn't matter...facts are never a problem for the left. Already seizing on this are the loony left blogs on the Internet, as well as The Poodle and Ralph Nader. John Kerry, in particular, made the following statement: "I think it's a stunning, unbelievably simple and understandable statement of the truth and a profoundly important document that raises stunning issues here at home." How about that....sKerry is calling a leaked British memo featuring secondhand information "a profoundly important document." I guess he still has his truth-stretcher around from his campaigning days.

The left will sooner or later be propped up by the mainstream media on this one. The message will be clear: George Bush has to go. But before the bedwetters get their pull-ups in a knot, they should take heed of one fact: they don't control either house of Congress. That makes any sort of impeachment a little difficult.

But that won't stop them from trying.

HOWARD DEAN STRIKING OUT

Ever since Howard Dean was elected Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, the word is Democrats have been a little worried about his behavior. He's made some crazy speeches (Howard Dean...crazy? You don't say) and said some wild things. But the most important function of the head of any political party is to raise money. Bring home the bacon and they'll love you forever, don't produce and you'll be gone for good. So how is the former Vermont Governor doing in the cash department?

Not good. 100 days into his Chairmanship, the Democratic party is behind. How far behind? According to the Federal Election Commission, Democrats have raked in $14.1 million in 2005 so far. And the Republicans? $32.3 million, or more than twice as much. Uh-oh. It gets worse....Democrats have "only" $7.2 million in the bank, vs. $26.2 million for the RNC. So what's the problem?

Apparently Dean isn't reaching out to the big boys, and so large donors are sitting on their wallets. The other problem is this: politics is a business and people like to bet on a winner. It doesn't say too much about the current state of the Democratic party that they can't raise enough money. After all, they automatically get all that money from unions and public employees...they already have a built-in advantage.

Goodbye Dr. Dean...time to find another line of work.

THE MIGHTY EURO FALLS

What a difference about six months makes. Remember awhile ago when the dollar was down against the Euro, and people were bemoaning our lack of economic strength in the world? Banks were dumping dollars and buying Euros....OPEC was talking about switching currencies...trade was going to suffer...all this doom and gloom was going to take place. Well now the shoe is on the other foot. The Euro is in trouble.

In the wake of the French, the Dutch and soon the British not adopting the EU Constitution, the Euro is down anyway. But now...there's news today that would represent an almost knockout punch to the entire European Union: Italy is thinking about abandoning the Euro. That's right...they might just switch right back to the Lira.

Europeans are starting to worry about the competitiveness that comes with joining the EU trading block and adopting a single currency. They're starting to realize they preferred it when their own governments could regulate the competition and the economy. So now the EU is imploding.

But hey...Europe was going to take over the world there for a second. Imagine that!

REDNECK SCRAP BOOK

Some people refer to boats as holes in the water into which you throw money. Maybe in this case it's a hole in the water into which you throw garbage. And maybe some Budweisers. And a super size bag of pork rinds. Previous redneck scrap book pictures.

READING ASSIGNMENTS


Jennifer Wilbanks'booking photo. Yep, she's still all full of The Crazy.

Pat Buchanan continues on his rampage against Mark Felt.  He says The Washington Post, Woodward and Bernstein did nothing to deserve their fame and fortune, since it all came from Mark Felt.

You know those seven Republican senators that engineered that deal with the Democrats over filibusters?  Ann Coulter has a word for these moderates: idiots.

Ted Turner says he believes he had a hand in ending the Cold War.  If the Cold War ended because people wanted to watch CNN, how's come nobody's watching? 

There's a report that Chief Justice William Rehnquist is going to retire real soon and somebody will be named as his replacement.  There's even a name being floated.  If it's true, get ready for quite the summer.

Remember all of the hysteria about the artifacts looted from a Baghdad museum during the 2003 invasion?  Half the items have been recovered, and the Iraqis are thanking us for our help.  More good news from Iraq you won't here covered in the mainstream media very much.

Mark Felt helped bring down a Republican president, and Linda Tripp almost brought about the downfall of a Democratic president.  One is a hero and the other is being vilified to this day.  John Kass takes a look at why.

Recent goings-on in Europe are starting to discredit American liberalism. David Brooks says Europe is supposed to be a socialist utopia...but the people aren't happy.


On today's best of, Neal's Guest was Farrah Gray, author of Reallionaire : Nine Steps to Becoming Rich from the Inside Out

Democrats are starting to whine about media coverage....complaining that it's no longer favorable to them.  Jeff Jacoby says they've put on their tinfoil hats and started screaming conspiracy.  Good read.

Ever wonder what liberals think of the War On Terror?  David Limbaugh takes us on a tour of the left's viewpoints...including a look at the reporting of the media on the issue.

The EU Constitution has been voted down in France, The Netherlands, and there probably won't even be a vote in Britain.  Jonah Goldberg says it's hard to resist the impulse to rub it in.
